Hi guys

Picking up my 03 coupe on Friday and want to change the oil that day.

What do you guys use and how many litres will I need?

Thanks

HI jo,

I just bought a 5lts bottle of CASTROL EDGE 0w-50. That's the best oil you can buy for that price, I got 20% off AUD69 when they got a sale in super cheap auto. If you don't do track a lot or crazy stuff, this oil should be good enough for you, safe fuel and runs smoother. Some of the boys here use more expensive stuff like Motul.

do you really have to take off the whole plastic undertray thing to change the oil in the V35s?

Makes it easier and cleaner. I did mine by taking the screws out on the oil drain plug side only, but it can get messy.

If you're simply replacing the oil only you can leave it on, but if you doing the filter you definately need to remove at least half.

And i would recommend changing the filter as well.

Paragon-

To change teh oil filter you dont need to take off the under tray AT ALL - take the driver side wheel off- it's quicker and easier.

Thankyou. you saved me heaps of time. Shame the filter got stuck on :) . Oh well the screw driver trick to the rescue. And for next time i used the k&n oil filter with the nut on the end to save me future grief :(.

well faaark me..this method actually works(??).

I'm about to do mine, (when I get her back from the mechanics for gearbox/doorlocks replaced/rotors and pads).

I've never let a mechanic do my oil, and now I can continue this trend on the 35, easier! (I hope!)

I will utilise this method!...sounds ace!.,.....!!!!!!!

A big thankyou!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
