    Can't Remove Oil Filter

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hi all,

    My car has an oil filter relocation kit (not installed by me) and I'm trying to remove the oil filter.

    Problem is its on there so tight that it is causing the mount it's attached to to bend when I twist it.

    Do you have any tips for how to loosen this thing up? I've tried WD40 but it hasn't seemed to have helped.

    Only other option I can think of is to completely remove the relocation kit and put the filter in a vice to unscrew.

    Thanks.

    Also shoot the results through to me next time. It shouldn't be hard to build a spread sheet that automatically fills in the details. I could literally bring my laptop to DECA enter the numbers there and have the results before we get back to the hotel.

    Gauges

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to install a few gauges in my 180sx for reliability. The car will mostly be used for track events.

    What gauges do you recommend I install? I plan on investing in decent quality ones that will feature some sort of alarm.

    I'm thinking: oil pressure, fuel pressure and oil temp. Is this a good combination?

    The stock temp gauge is a water temp gauge correct? Is this accurate? Do you require an aftermarket water temp gauge if you have an oil temp gauge?

    Are there any other gauges worth installing? ETG? Volts? I want them all to have a use, they're not for show.

    Thanks.

    The port is fine now. It was only early stages that had issues.

    As for the engine and graphics dark souls is easily the best combat system I've ever played. It is extremely rewarding once you learn it. The game play far outweighs the average graphics.

    Current engine is just tired. Uneven compression, did poorly on the leak down test, starts playing up when hot and down on power for the mods.

    To be honest it would be fine for street use, at least in the short term, but I bought this car to be a registered track car. I'd hate to have to tow it home from Winton.

    Hi all,

    I need to replace my SR20DET in my 1994 180sx and was wondering if you had any advice.

    For simplicity sake going with another Black Top S13 SR is the cheapest and easiest to install but also the riskiest in terms of getting another lemon.

    In your experience is it worthwhile investing in a late model engine vs. throwing in a cheap older model?

    Also where is the best place to purchase engines from? Importers, ebay, wreckers, etc.

    Thanks.

    I just bought a flight stick and holy shit it's hard to use.

    I went from 1-3 kill average in historical to not even landing a hit.

    Not sure if I can be bothered learning it as it will take weeks of constantly play to get anywhere near good.

    Huge thanks to the organizers and volunteers as always.

    I'd also like to thank everyone who came and looked at my car when it started making strange noises. I made it home, and oddly enough that squeaky noise vanished on the way. Engine still isn't happy though so here's hoping it's nothing major.

    I would go so far as to recommend Riki. 90% of the time in noob games, no one will buy dust or ward - he will chop them all up. Drow is a fairly easy to play carry, Sven is always fun.. Ursa even.

    But yes, I would get used to playing a support hero first before trying to carry a team. My favourite supports are dazzle, rubick, warlock, seer. Easy to play supports are lina, lion, puck, zues - all with very high nuke damage.

    Puck is one of the hardest supports to play well. I'd argue Zues is more difficult too because most of the time he's required mid and needs to gank frequently.

    I still recommend support for newbies so long as they understand what's required from them, which isn't much:

    • Harass the enemy in lane
    • Don't steal farm from your carry
    • Pull if you can (not so important with small camps now)
    • Buy wards every time they're available and use them.
    • Counter ward.

    That's really basic and easy to learn. If I had a Tidehunter who did that, as well as popped his ult in the middle of a team fight there's not much more you could ask for.

    I'd recommend against playing Sniper as a new player as he's a very difficult hero to play well. His skills and role are very simple, but a good sniper is all about positioning and evading enemy focus. You want to be at the back/on the side/out of sight plugging away at the enemy team and pulling away the moment they target you. He's basically a glass cannon, huge damage but can't tank anything.

    Watch a youtube video or read a guide about how a support hero should be played and try one of those. Tidehunter is a very powerful and easy supp hero to play.

    If you still really want to carry try an easier hero like Skeleton King or Dragon Knight.
