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.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
