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

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
