Firstly happy new year to you all, all the best.

I'm droping the oil, changing the sparkies but i come across a problem! I undo the oil filter YET i can't get it out of the engine bay!

Yes you heard right, i can't get it out of the engine bay, sounds stupid but RB26 is a tank engine, i've got an oil cooler as well with braided line but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I think its the two little motor sitting slightly opposite with the oilfilter that i got stuck with.

Any tips, tricks please give them to me.

Thank you very much. :P

that bloody HICAS pump is really a pain.

All I can tell you is that you can get it out.....the hoses for the oil cooler and the HICAS pump are pretty hard to move but they will flex a bit if you need the to.

Thanks Duncan! Worked out now, funny enough i've got my little nephew to use his little hand and still he couldn't get it out.

The little shit came up with a brillitant idea by slotted his finger into the filter hole and guide it out and it worked! Hahaha another word there were just enough room for the filter.

Remote oil filter relocation kit is on the way :P even though i heard you can loose a bit of pressure by doing that.

That depends on how the oil cooler is installed, but generally no since the oil cooler may not drain.

Just fill it up to high on the dipstick, start it and check the dipstick again once oil pressure is up

All fixed. 5 littre of 10w-60 Castrol R. 5 littres bloody hell hahaha.

I also found something supiscous, just under the oil filter there is a sort of brass looking tube, a little one like for a vacum line that's not hook up. I look around but there is no rubber line around anywhere so for now i *assume* that its all safe.

Will investigate further.

Its a diff breather. There should be a hose coming off the front diff to that brass thing thats bent at 90 degrees

I see, so i'll have to look for that hose then plug it back in! What does it do? Any effect, damage if it doesn't get plug back in?

Its just a breather for the diff but if you dont put back in you may get water or rubish in the diff so you better put it back a.s.a.p. .

You will see the pipe on the top of the diff the hose should be atached to that .

Just like wrxhoon said above.

Like all things, having it in its place is good.

First have a look at your front diff, there is a small attachment coming off it. It should have a rubber hose coming off this going to that brass piece which should be bolted to the inlet manifold.

Also i've heard a lot about copper and platium sparkies, i know and felt the different, everytime after Ben gave my car a set of fresh sparkies and oil, the car feel awesome.

Anyway, whats' the different in kw wise between them too? Also maybe we should have a sticky General Mantainance section for GTR?

there is no power diff between copper and plats. Plats are a little more resistent to missing under lots of power/boost.

Coppers are still fine as well - Leewah even runs coppers still :blink:

Wow Leewah runs coppers too?

Is castrol R 10-60 correct? What's the rating telling me?

castrol 10w-60 is the best oil.

its got a great heat range and can take alot. used in in my GTiR and my GTR. when i put my FMIC on the GTiR oil temps went above 120-130 on that guage? still goes hard. such a good blend. i did an oil flush soon as i got my GTR from japan. last "logged" service was 30k ago :|

getting my old filter off was piss hard.. cant even get a ratchet round it. took 30 mins.. it is a bit of a tight squeeze.. glad only have to do it every 3,000kms.

what u running coppers.. whats the part number on that?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
