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.

  • 3 months later...

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...

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
