waaar kom jij vandaan dan

so got an pitwork original filter this morning, ran to the car and try to fit it (with my fingers crossed).. put it on, turn turn turn.... fits perfectly... glad about that. so the thread on the oil filter bracket cant be damaged and it is indeed a crap sandwichplate wich doenst fit right. going to get some oil today and fill her up again. disconnect the ignition, and crank her a couple of times (just as long till the oil lamp on the dash goes out?)

perhaps i can get it bulletproof bij installing a greddy sandwichplate of an re location kit and the hoses and cooler from autobahn?

i hope so too, it was garanteed to be a fine cooler

Sorry but I have problems with the forum, the text area just turns blue and I am not able to typ a thing L This is typed in words then copied and past on the forum…. This is a serious question.

Hi guys, Ive got an question. I got an oil cooler kit with filter relocation kit from autobahn installed on my r33 gtst spec2. This kit is installed by the garage which imported the skyline to Holland (from japan) Last monday I wanted to take my skyline for a spin to the gym but when I started the car I heard a strange sound, blop blop blop blop, like something was bobbeling. My first reaction was look at the coolant liquid. So I popped the hood and take a look. Nothing to see, I turned of the engine and when I stepped out of the car there was a pool of oil coming underneath the car. When I checked the engine oil it was al run out.. So I jacked up the car to inspect the bottom and after a minute or 2 I could see where the drips came from. I was shocked to see the sandwichplate (wich is on the place of the old oil filters position) was loose!!!! When I felt it wasn’t tight, and it just came of.. So the plate was pushed of and the engine had just pumped 5 ltr of oil onto my drive way K My first thought is this may never ever ever happen right? How could this be? Crappy quality of autobahn? Or a fitment that was to big for a RB25det engine? I orderd a original oil filter to test the thread on the oil filter housing. If the filter fits and stays on it’s the plate that was crap, but if the filter also decides to not get tighten ive got a big problem, then my original oil filter housing thread is F#@( up!!. But either way this is caused by wrong installation, I don’t have another explaination. A part like that should never pop off like that.. Im lucky it happened on my driveway and not on the highway, because that would have meant bringing the engine to the dump… Whats your opinion on this? I am really shocked…. Gr dave

thats how i would do it to
