... but with the 4wd sump on its hard to see from underneath as it sits directly above the front diff housing and when u dump the filter off its gonna spew oil everywhere so sit some rags on the top of the diff housing to soak up the oil.

Yeah, oil gets everywhere, one thing i wish i did was to put a plastic bag over it first before undoing it altogether. Good way to keep the oil off the engine and garage floor!

heres a pic of it (its the big blue thing on the plenum side of the motor). this pic is with a 2wd sump on, but with the 4wd sump on its hard to see from underneath as it sits directly above the front diff housing and when u dump the filter off its gonna spew oil everywhere so sit some rags on the top of the diff housing to soak up the oil.

Great pic and it shows it all. Thank you, unique1.

but yeah

my suggestion

spend the 140 USD (whatever that is in AUS) and get a relocation kit

an hour of your time will make it MUCH easier in the end

yep i agree i have a relocation kit on my rb26 and its sooo damn easy to change the filter and not a drip of oil gets anywhere :D

Hey guys,

Time to report :)) When I knew where to look at - I just put my hand down and it was soooooo obvious >_<) Managed to unscrew the filter with my weak IT hands without any tools. Yes, oil leaks a bit when you remove the filter but there is nothing that plastic bag cannot fix :) The rest was straight forward, just need to put the car on the jack otherwise its hard to work underneath. Oil changed, not a drop on the driveway.

Thank you all for help :))

good to see it all worked out in the end ! you were lucky not to spill any.. when I did it oil went everywhere !

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
