Ok

so i brought a oil filter relocation kit for my R so sick of everytime i do a oil change, all the dam oil running all over the front diff and everywhere eles it can go. than having to spend more time cleaning it up than the hole oil change takes.

The kit i got off a pirvate seller, its got the plate that gose on the block, braided lines, speedflow fittings,and the new plate for the filter to sit, its all in good nick, and seams perfect. I got a oil cooler so ill have to take my plate thats on my block now and change it for the new one, and hook the oil cooler up to the new filter mount and the mount on the block.

Anyway none of that is my prob, when i got the kit i went and got 1 of the factory nissan filters that i norm run and went to turn it on the relocation plate.... it didnt fit, its a diffrent thread, very close but diffrent. So i went to Supercrap with my Relocation plate and start goin through all there filters till i found ones that fit it, i found 3 ryco filters that will fit on my new plate.... 1 real small one about 60mm high, by 40mm dia, another one abit bigger and 1 mass one.

My question is... dose it matter how big the filter is?? whats the diff between a small filter and a massive one? they both do the same job? Should i go the little one cause it will fit in my engine bay nicer, or should i got the bigger one cause its going to????

i change my oil every 4.5k-5k klm, never any longer than that. The car is a street car, only drivin on weekends maybe twice amonth, but i am goin to start takin it to trackdays.

anyone help me out??

thanks :D

ok ill have a look if one of them will fit, its weird that the thread is diffrent than the factory filter, i cant understand why, the guy i brought it off had it on a 33 gtr, so its a gtr kit, and as far as i no all nissan's are the same, the filters mix and match, Sr, Rb what ever you no. If the z9 dont fit it, should i just get the biggest one i can find that fits the thread?

im 99% sure my old man has a box of z9's in the shed he uses for his clevo's. ill check 2mora
