Autobarn Mile end have everything you need. :P

I've found Motul 8100 5w40 to work well, change every 5000kms with a PureOne Oil filter.

Are the PureOne Oil filter better than Nissan orginal filter?

How much in cost are they?

Unsure on what Autobarn charge as I get mine from Supercrap auto for $15.99.

I then get Motul 8100 from another small autostore thats local for $59.99.

I think Autobarn have jacked their price up of the Motul 8100. :P

If there's any filtering efficiency difference between filters I'd say it would be minimal for <10,000kms changes. I use the K&N mainly for the convenient wrench nut top. Yet to try the magnetised ones though (eg. Power Enterprise) & see how well they work.

The Nissan filters are good, they run a silicon antidrain valve.

They were once better when they were made in Japan. And were blue in colour, they are now whiteish and 'apparently' not as good as they used to be.

I couldn't pick anything wrong with them though, it looked like a well built filter. :P

Nissan coolant is another one which is well priced. :)

      Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!

      Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If there is no ridge at the inner edge of the battery tray (ie the battery tray is flat until it rolls off the edge into the open space of the bay), then no, it won't matter if it overhangs. If the battery would be propped up by any ridge, then that wouldn't be ideal. The bottom of the battery case would not be sharing the load. It would be concentrated on one end edge and a line across the bottom where it contacts the ridge. And possibly it wouldn't fit under the locking clamp either. I only upsized my battery to the max because: I sometime have to leave my car undriven for weeks at a time while I am away for work. On the previous battery (replaced a couple of months ago) I had to leave it undriven for months at a time!! I sometimes abuse the battery by running the stereo up loud for many hours while I wash and polish it. This is how I realised that the previous battery was on its last legs, because it got to the point where it was too weak to start after a couple of such. It was 7 years old though, so, fair play. Supercheap had a good special so the X was only ~$250 instead of ~$320, which seemed sufficiently less painful. I had already been using NS70 for the previous 2 batteries for most of the same reasons as above. The X is just the final boss level. I was contemplating going LiFePO4. But it's like $900 to do that properly, and while you save >10 kg of weight, you can likely only expect a couple of years longer life. So meh. Maybe when the price comes down further. Although, in ~7 years when I have to replace this one, I might not be allowed to drive such an anti-social vehicle anyway.

      If I get a larger battery and it hangs off the edge of the frame rail, would this be an issue? With FMIC a lot of people downgrade their battery size due to less room for shit, was wondering if it would affect anything but it would still be tight via the clamp.
