lol @ the baron ...

I have tiny deformed hands and i still have trouble .... after getting it to release i proceeded to burn the hell out of my hands with the hot fluid while spashin around a bit of anti rust system so the rb26 dont rust :(... that was my first attempt ...

I do wonder how the service centers would do it with out spillage as its a doesy!

damn thing is a tight fit aye.. first time i did mine i cut my hand deep too and i got a scare from my GTR. once ur get it loose. (i use 3 prong oil filter wrench on 3/8 rachet) u can use rubber gloves and attack it that way. once off jiggly it so that the hole is facing up and stick ur finger in the hole and fish it out pass the hicas crap.

im actually doin mine tomorrow as i found a spare filter in the garage. rec. dnt use Ryco.. the rubber seal ripped on mine.!

Mine got stuck too, so after draining the oil, I got a screwdriver and carefully hammered it into the filter itself (careful not to hit anything else) That allowed me to get the leverage to loosen it. This was on a R33 GTS-t however, not sure if you have room to do it on the RB26

i am not a fan of ryco filters. seen a few problems occur with them. i use to just use genuine nissan ones, now i use wanky nismo or trust ones... but only because i bought a shitload in japan, and with the remote mount they are on display.

i would just use the nissan ones. and the 8100 is ok. should be fine.

I don't have any problem getting them off, i use 2 hands from the top if it doesn't come loose i use a wrench, no problem there .

After doing that many that i lost count i worked a way of not spilling a drop of oil . I hate spilling oil because it sits on the top of the diff and because of the fins its very hard to wipe so i use to hit it with the steam cleaner .

I got a plastic bottle with a little bigger diameter than the oil filter and a little longer ( 145a, i dont like using the smaller ones, gtrs dont hold enough oil as it is ), i sliced the bottle in 2 halves. I use one half and i placed under the filter fitting before i take the filter out ( i loosened it say 1/2 a turn first but still no oil cames out ), when i undo the filter the 1/2 plastic bottle catches the oil that spills out . I turn the old filter upright and carefuly take it out, i don't take the half bottle out until i install the new filter back in.

I usualy take the diff breather off to make it a bit easier before i start .

I undo the sump plug first and let the oil come out for about 1/2 hour by then the filter is cold so i don't burn my hands .

I'm still trying to work a way of filling the filter totaly before i put in so far i only half fill it, when i work out how to fill it to the top i'll let you guys know too.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
