How many Km's has it done?

Either way I just change it.

You never know if the previous owner has done it or not.

It does not cost much, $15 or whatever for the filter itself and its easy to change, just ask your mechanic do pull it out of the hose yourself and re-attatch the new one.

I did my 2 years ago and been great.

I think you change it every 3 years or 5 can't remember...

Been reading a bit about changing fuel filters and it doesn't seem all that hard. Just de-pressurise the system by removing some fuses. Clamp up hoses, take old one out, replace with new one, connect everything back up. Pressurise your system again then you're done!

Sounds like a filters a filter in any language but where is it? Last guy had a bosch 040 put in so you'd expect them to change the filter yeah? After 165k km's... If I can get a look at it I could tell if its old or new

It's the little silvery cylinder attached to the RH strut tower. Just follow the fuel hose back from the fuel rail, you should find it.

Nice one... Looks to be standard so reckon I could benefit from a replacement! Thanks for the imput guys

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
