*tip* when u change your oil u dont need to turn the engine over to get pressure. maybe try reseting the ecu???

sorry dude im not much help :)

I also put on a new filter which was empty, so I don't like starting an engine without getting oil pressure up first. Wife took it 2 Nissan 2day, they put the 'consult' on it, they reset it. Light was on because I unplugged wire.

hey mate if u install a new filter just fill the filter before u install it and it will be 99% full. i was told by plenty of people including sydneykid that on a brand new rebuilt engine (thats never run) u dont even need to crank it round to get pressure, he said just start it and it will build pressure straight away.

just my 2c worth :D

cheers

Cruise,You must be a magician lol. I haven't been able 2 fill an oil filter then tip it on its side to screw on2 the side of a motor without oil running out and making a bloody mess. As it was i had 2 degease after removing old filter. Cheers

gtr's r not fun with the front diff in the way, but thats y u get a remote filter setup and i can do it without spilling a drip :ermm: u gotta screw the filter on bloody quick to avoid abit of mess without the relocation kit :D

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
