well i would like to know what your opinion is about K&N gold oilfilter and using a filter magnet. when i was running my engine in and had installed my oilfilter relocation kit and cooler a friend of mine advised me to buy that filter, with a filter magnet well i can tell you i am quite satisfied with the preformance of the filter. and not to drift off topic but what is the best differential oil and ATTESA fluid. i chaged my diffs to nismo GT 1.5 way rear and a KAAZ 1 way in the front and its time that i change the fluids, when i filled them up last time i used KAAZ fluid in both of them (friend bought too much of the stuff for me), they were a bit noisy in the begining but after the first oilchange they were good and behaved well so far (but need to replace them) and since ive had the car ive never changed the ATESSA fluid so its way overdue. in my gear box ill be changing to Redline lightweight shock proof from the castrol i used to run the Crossmission gearset in.

If K&N oil filters are as good as their air filters they are probably worth a look. I'll stick to my Cooper filters or failing that, the nissan OEM ones.

The filter magnet is a waste of time IMO.

No, oil filter magnet does work. Just find some used harddisk magnet and stick it around your oil filter, it will trap tiny microns of metal particles going through the oil filter.

They could well have some benefit, but remember they'll only attract ferrous metals. No substitute for regular oil and filter changes, but I guess if you're sticking a magnet on your filter you are already concerned about maintaining your car properly :D

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
