Hey guys,

This is my first post here in the NA section and I was wondering if you could help. I have had conflicting reports about which oil filter bolts up to the neo RB25 and was after help. Is it a Z145a like my previous car or is it a z442?

I was told that after the 11th month 98 the 34 switches from 1 to the other but I need someone who owns one to tell me which one they use.

My car is a 1999 r34 GTV if this helps.

Z145A fits, but you ought to be running the smaller Z442 (or Nissan part# NI-15208-53J00).

Best thing to do, is goto Nissan, quote your VIN number and they'll look up what filter you need in their FAST catalogue software.

I always used the 145a....but recently someone bought a filter for me and got the smaller version, I can't see how something that tiny doesn't block quicker...in my opinion I like the ol' 145a as it's easier to grab when changing :P

Possibly.. but they ran Z145a prior to 11/98, then Z442 after - all on the same NEO motor. Maybe something else changes with the post 11/98 models... heard later models have GTR cams but I can't verify without opening mine up.

i have a r34 99 gtt i recently did a oil change according to specs book z422 the smaller filter is the correct one...... i opted for the z145a as said it seems to fit the same and is bigger easier to remove.....does anyone know the actual reason for goin the smaller filter??? my car also had a z145a when dealer/importer did oil change.......

i think the smaller filter prob has a diff filtration rating (ie diff micron size)

if it helps, my boss runs 3 cars in the AMCA series over here in WA (like super sedans - Holden 253's on custom body's) and they run methanol, around 11:1 comp, wild cams and they use the smallest oil filter i have ever seen...

The bigger the filter the less restriction through the filter obviously, on an NA its not so critical, but on all our race cars we try and get the biggest filter possible on them..., they are all essentially the same, there are a couple of different thread and oring sizes but essentially if it fits it will work... If you've got anything floating around internally that u need an oil filter to trap the type of filter your using is the least of your worries... your biggest concern is the cost of the rebuild...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
