But if you change your oil and filter every 5,000k's won't it be efficient enough getting something like a ryco as apposed to paying $25 for a greddy one? same concept as spark plugs isnt it?

and about them leaking it could be cos the seal around the oil filter wasn't lubricated prior to fitting.. that can happen cant it?

That all depends on how hard you drive your car, the condition of the engine and oil already, the environment your driving in, the efectiveness of your air filter, etc. I guess it comes down to what you believe the quality of the filter is like. Same goes for spark plugs, if your happy with $5 plugs on an engine that you have invested a lot of money into then thats your choice. I have used ryco filters on my old bombadore and found them OK, although you really need to compare them to something. So maybe note the engine oil colour and smell and then change to a different filter at the same interval and see if you notice a difference.

The whole thing that started the leaking ryco filter here on SAU was a few years back some of us bought an oill cooler kit.and what happened was the ryco filters had a thread that was not quite so tight fitting on the sandwich plate thread and they would leak oil.Before that i have used ryco and had no problems.

Since then i have only ever used valvoline oil filters for the nissan Z145A.if you ever go to auto-one (they only sell ryco & a generic brand)and ask for their generic oil filter to have a look at.look at the rubber seal and look at how flimsy it is.. when you get the valvoline oil filter from supercheap look at how meaty the rubber seal is.

The rubber seal needs to be that meaty so the filter when tight doesnt stop dead on the block after being tightened,thus not creating the seal and oil will leak.So meaty seal and the right thread is the way to go.dont force the thread make sure it goes on smoothly before tightening to much.you dont want a threaded oil filter thread.

Remember to smear a thin film of new oil everywhere on the new oil filters rubber seal to create an excellent seal.

This mite sound dumb :P but i was thinking if Nissan made the Genuine oil filter ( not sure of Genuine number but a Z145A ) anyway would they look at improving the design etc of that style of oil filter or would it will be the same design as when it first was made like 20 years ago rb30 days or even older not sure??? Because im sure aftermarket brands would continously look at improving design etc therfore i would think aftermarket would be a better option?? Any Ideas??

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

      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

      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.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
