hi guys, today i hooked up my electronic oil press gauge. after doing up the sandwich plate(goes between the oil filter and engine) a bit too tight, ive snapped the thread off (the piece that comes out from the block that the oil filter origianly screws onto). has anyone done this before? any rough ideas of whats involved and cost of a replacement?

looks to me like its only held on with a few bolts, but its kind of hard to say.

thanks

Sam

Yes your answered your own question there.

Might have to take the starter motor of to get to all the bolts, there is 3 bolts and one stud/nut usually.

Not to sure about the R33 but on a 26 the engine mount can make it hard to swing a spanner as well.

yeah it wasnt easy to remove hey. worst part was i couldnt even see what i was doing :S

because the oil plate is watercooled, ive pulled off the hose and sprayed coolant everywhere, possibly a bit back into the oil in the block too.

i guess i had better dump the oil and replace it too.

I did the exact same thing to mine when i was putting the head back on my rb25. Ur right its only about 3 or so bolts holding it down with 2 hoses connecting the water cooler bit.

I picked up a spare for about 70 bucks to replace. u may be able to get it cheaper if your keen on hunting around.

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
