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

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
