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...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
