Dropping the filter at 5k is a waste of time IMO. Unless you've got problems with your motor, it wouldnt even be 20% full of debris. Actually the longer you leave the filter on, its single pass efficiency increases (ie the better it actually filter out small particles) so I say, leave it on!

EDIT - I like this summary: "When time comes to change the oil at 3000-5000 miles they may just be getting in to their most effective part of their life cycle. Hence they never function optimally, or spent far less time in that range where small particle filtering is most effective."

Yep 300V has a stout additive package + high quality ester base oil = excellent recipe. Good thing its cheaper than Redline too. But for your average Skyline its wayyy overkill.

Beer Baron, when you do the UOA, make sure they test for all the elements Mo/Zn/Ca etc. TBN would be nice too.

Hmm I'll debate changing the filter ever 10,000. Personally I change it every 5000 kays as if I let it go to 10,000 I start to get noise from my lifters on startup due to them not getting oil fast enough. If that's not a indication of restriction nothing is.

I'm using the 4100 turbolight in my engine. I only leave it in for 5,000 kays myself. It is probably good for a fair bit more, but I like to make sure.

^^ Some filters use a poor quality anti-drain back valve to hold oil in the filter upon shutdown. I've seen countless Ryco ones do this after a while. Nissan OEM ones I have been good in this respect. Good filters use a silicone gasket (Eg Purolator PureOne) which lasts much longer. You can tell by if it has an orange valve at the bottom instead of black (ordinary nitrile rubber)

If the filter is clogged it goes into bypass so you wouldn't be able to tell if it was clogged or not without a pressure gauge plumbed in before and after the oil filter. And even then its difficult to tell.

I think this thread should be put in the maintenance section lol.

Thanks to the advice from Busky, i now use a pure one oil filter and castrol edge 0w 40 best change i did from the 10w 60 edge. Motor is running cooler and starts better,

And in the gearbox i run redline shock proof its well worth it.

Well you got me there mate. Yes I do use a Ryco, guilty as charged. Interesting little piece of info there. I think I'd better invest in a genuine filter, always assumed they would be too expensive since everything else that the dealers sell is :happy:. Oil change will be due in a couple weeks. Will get 1 for sure now & try it out.

Yeah I have a personal vendetta against Ryco. I mean what kind of company charges well over $10 for a filter and can't even put a plastic seal over the end? Go wipe your finger on the base plate of a Ryco off the shelf and look at the crap thats on your finger. Lovely.

I believe Purolator's Premium Plus or PureOnes are far better than Ryco's offerings. Nissan are good aswell but the price varies. My local dealer wants $19 for one, where as I've heard others get em for $9! For $15, the Purolator PureOne is a better choice for the money.

Busky2k,

Head down to nissan they are around $8.98 or soemthing from memory, thats what my last one set me back.

I grabbed one to check it out, they do look very good quality and have a strange lip type seal.

However, I will be going back to the pureone filters.

$10 for an OEM? You must have a nice dealer. Main North Nissan want $19 for em lol. Then again the NVCS SR20 has a different thread to the RB so thus the part numbers are different. (and I believe most other post 1995 Nissans use the same filter)

And as everyone can see, the Nissan one has an orange ADBV, so its silicone and thus high quality. Good stuff. :D Not sure about that funny lip though, but it must work because the OEM one had one of the fastest times to get oil pressure after start up. Good ol Ryco was like 3 seconds lol.

Just called my local Nissan..

Village Nissan

425 Elizabeth Ave

Redcliffe, QLD, 4020

(07)3883 0900

While he was looking up the part number that CUBES posted a picture of *15208-H8911AU*, he was making small talk about what I do for work.

When I told him I worked for QPS he made a joke and said “Oh I better give you a discount so you don’t send your work mates here aye”

Anyway, he ended up giving me a discount anyway..

He can supply them for $7.70

I’ll head on over to see him this Saturday.

If there are other QLD’ers that would be interested in the future, or now I guess, I might have a chat to him and see if he can do this for this price all the time for the car club.

The actual Nissan part number for R32, R33 (RB25DET, RB26DETT) should be AY100-NS007 (15208-H8911) but has been supersede by AY100-NS005 which is used by R34 so both can be used.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
