Hi all,

Currently trying to get the oil filter of cheff stageas wags for him and it seems as if theirs a bracked or something on the side/next to it that stops it from comming loose?

Is this correct if so whats the go with removing it to change the oilfilter?

Its a stock setup no filter relocation kit or anything :(

Fast replys would be good :banana:

Cheers,

Chris

Sounds like the oil pressure switch is in the way? With rb26's you pretty much need to attack the oil filter from underneath with a oil filter wrench or another type of oil filter remover, normal oil filter removers you would normally use on a commodore just aren't very effective.

How? The transfer case or front diff is below the oil filter on RB26's, there is nearly no room to go in there from underneath.

I had several people attempt to remove my oil filter, tried a few oil filter wrenches and removal tools, eventually a very strong mechanic just put his hand in there and was able to remove it >_<

Hopefully your one hasn't been done up super tight...

last two I have removed, it was a long screwdriver, through one side out the other and use that to get it started..

made a hell of a mess.. almost thought i had broken my hand trying to get the bastard undone..

next time will be the last, relocation kit incoming.

to undo it properly you need the three pointed claw type attachment that grips onto the end of the filter.

I do mine all the time - pop on some rubber gloves for non slip grip and remove it; also stops your hands gettin thrust against sharp objects in the engine bay lolz

try a filter like knn with a nut on the top so you can remove it with a ratchet next time.

If you have one of those stock Nissan/Pitwork filters on there then the screw driver trick won't work lol as it does stick out far enough, we tried a belt, to no evail, we also tried my very strong mate who couldn't get it off, we ended up getting a 1/2 inch drive oil filter wrench that combined with my strong mate was able to finally wind it off. the oil filter was half twisted around so it must have been on pretty tight. However there is a relocator in place now so i will have no more dramas like that

Did it come like that from Japan? I had a super small filter (not a Z143A, same thread about less than 1/2 the size, made it more challenging) and it had a metal exterior that got damaged by the time it was out....

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      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

      The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
