Thanks cyrus ...managed to change the filter and lube just before dark today...5 liters of motul and it barely passed the low mark on the dipstick now i hafta get another bottle...hope they come in 1 liter packs.

is cool ....was just having a whinge, still cheaper tho coz repco quoted me $13 for the ryco filter btw ...can anyone give me pointers on how to check the atessa fluid levels and where the reservoir is located if i want to top this up.

yea yea...hopefully i'd have my safc installed by then...and still have money leftover for cruising fuel

well i went with the vin number to the local nissan dealer and got a filter which cost me $11 ..was under the impression that they retailed for $8 ...damn con ..anyway the part number was 15208-H8911AU prolly cost extra coz it had a sump plug washer lol and got a 5 liter bottle of motul x-cess 5w-40 (was after a 300v but repco didnt have that in stock)..cost $62.99 will update on how the car drives after the service once i get it done this weekend.

Thanks luke...i think i know which one it is....the australian compliance one is bright pink and attached to the top strut mount near the battery. if i cant get the nissan filter i might just settle for the ryco ones....guess its no help reading all the forum treads coz just gets me all paranoid bout stuff. I would be trying the motul synthetic motor oil this time round coz from past experience with mobil 1 ..it does tend to accentuate tappet noise...used it on my evo 3 engine before and on cold starts could hear this sound like shaking a can of spray paint.

where is the vin number of my car located?

Hi Guys, I've searched through the treads but cant seem to get a definative answer for the correct nissan part number for the oil filter...and from reading on how some didnt fit snug especially on the GTR's ...am afraid of getting the wrong one. Cars due for service in another 500km so I prolly need to get the parts ready. my car is a 97 stagea rs4...don't really know if the rb25det is the same on the s1 or 2 skylines. amsoil filters sounded pretty good but i dont think theres a dealer in perth...too shit scared to try ryco's after all the bad reviews...so i guess safest option would be to buy the genuine nissan part.

oh sheet...i just got a speed ticket today + 1 demerit....last thing i want is to get my car defected might have my speedo checked....i swear i was doing 70...was picked up doin 78

any pics of the cooler and relocation kit? and what did u mean by barb style?

is the core repairable? do u know where and how much it will cost to repair? Cheers buddy

Mate... apexi neo's sell for less than that...brand new too Thats just my humble feedback...ur welcome to ask whatever price u want

darn that was quick

I did ...if i can quote her exact words ..' u can go if u F**kin want' ....which from previous experience (which i dont want to talk about) DOES NOT MEAN YES!! She has never liked the idea of me spending my money on cars...and driving on a cruise wif like minded people as myself.... aint her idea of a fun filled day Dont forget to post pics of the cruise aight happy cruisin peeps

**Final price drop before these go on ebay ...Grab urself a bargain!!**

Got the whole end section replaced on saturday...must say that the guy at ian diffens osborne park did a fantastic job ...used 2 mandrel bends, a flange plate and a section of pipe...very pleased indeed. the muffler does drone quite a fair bit at lower rpms (1.5-2k) but the beauty is at high revs...especially when it pulls past 3k rpm ...the exhaust sound almost completly fades away and all u can hear is the turbo chirping ...and got it mounted high so the body of the muffler is tucked away...very stealthy. will be looking at a split dump..or a screamer for the next part of my project.

Sorry peeps....wont be able to make it this time round...being pussy whipped by my wife to go furniture shopping....then i have a soccer game the same day. Have fun guys.

all pm's replied.

added Apexi boost gauge for sale**

someone plz buy my boost gauges so i can get this intercooler

im wif ya there mate...no point going fmic when ur using the stock blower...that would be semi-rice

I would take the car for a spin to have a feel of how it drives and possibly identify potential problems...and maybe take it to a reputable mechanic to look the car over...check cylinder pressure...turbo shaft play...etc etc....and maybe Prank should do the same on your car...when ur both satisfied...then i guess its a matter of 2 consenting adults reaching an agreement
