I have been using them, because I get them where I get my Motul oil and that's what they sell (Autobarn). I'm not an oil filter expert but I haven't had any problems, but maybe I haven't done enough km to be able to tell that the oil filter was sub-standard. I change them every 5000km anyway along with the oil.

That was the article that swayed me to buying a cooper filter.

Well that and the price tag of 8 bucks :D

Veruspeed = Nismo

Will give the Cooper a shot and see how that goes. Least its better then a Ryco ;)

would be intersting to find out who makes the nissan ones im sure nissan dont make there own they would be outsourced to a filter manufacturer

The ones sold here in Australia are made in China ( thats why they are only $8) . The ones sold in Japan By Nissan are made in Japan .

lol... even better.. Mine had Taiwan written on it.

I do remember reading a while back they changed place of manufacturer.

As you can see it has a silicon anti drain valve and some funky lip type looking rubber gasket that had what felt like silicon lube.

Up until about 2 years ago, when you went to Nissan you got a genuine blue Japanese high quality filter.

Now they have a completely different cheap arse filter that is completely different in filtering medium, anti drainback valve, and seal. Its a grey colour not blue.

I always used genuine Nissan up until 2 years or so until they turned to crap.

I currently use AC Delco oil filters, good filtering medium and filter construction, has a few minor issues, but nothing like some others have.

hrmm not sure.. the filter is definitely gloss white.

The highchair where I took the pics for example is white, as can be seen in the pics its shown as off white due to the poor white balance.

Either way.. I usually run PureOne filters but was unable to source one quickly, so I decided to check out a genuine nissan. I've cut open a few filters now so I'll split this nissan one open take a few pics and take note of the filter medium.

So far I've pulled apart quite a few.

Cooper, Ryco, PureOne, Purulator Premium & K&N.

The genuine nissan filter definitely didn't give a first impression of a cheaply made filter, time will tell, I'll split the sucker open. :P

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
