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

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
