Johnny,

I recently serviced my car, put a DRIFT filter in, figured it couldnt be too bad - magnetic and claims to have anti-drain back. My car now does the exact same thing you mentioned. Car now takes 1-2 seconds (when cold) for oil pressure to register and the oil light to go out. That has me fairly concerned. The old oil filter didn't have that problem at all.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

It's really starting to freak me out the longer I leave it - I really don't want to have to drop all my expensive Motul oil to have to change the filter either. I guess I could catch most of it and put it back through with a top-up .. it's only got maybe 1000km on it.

Same observation here with my SR with grex relocation setup and Drift filter. I've been thinking about redoing the relo kit so the filter hangs down therefore the filter is constantly full.

Can someone actually confirm the Drift filters actually have an anti drain back valve?

Mine does this some time, oil light stays on for a moment with zero oil pressure and then after a few seconds goes to normal. I seriously doubt it's something to worry about. I normally use the Ryco Z145A filters.

why do you need to drain your oil to change your filter?

Ryco filters are where its at.

I use AC Delco filters.

Maybe cheap, but i have not seen one scrap of evidence, (using my car) to suggest that it is in anyway inferior to other brands, usually much more expensive.

Castrol Magnatec 10w30 also :down:

Didnt expect to see this thread again hehe. At the moment i use KnN oil filters and they are great; have a nut at the top like the drift filter so its easy to put in and remove + got rid of my oil issue.

who would use a filter with the brand name drift, wank factor, Theyre definatley not experts in filters like ryco or oem

oem are the cheapest and probably the best on the market at 6.60 trade

OEM would be good, happy with knn though and prefer to have the nut at the top as it makes the job much easier.

someone who values added protection, these filters filter ~10 ten times smaller particulates than ryco or oem and i have the wear check data on my built engines to back it up. We were using K&N (regarded as one of the best money can buy) but found the DRIFT bettered the filtration (particulate testing) and as i buy in bulk cost me substanially less.

i use these on engine setups costing upwards of $25-30k without any qualms.

Ryco are far from leaders in performance filters but they make a great general filter, for general applications.

I allways used ryco filters, last time over here i had to buy some cheap brand from the sphincter of the universe or something and have no issues.

who cares what knock the knock sensors are picking up on startup, i would be worried about 90 knock at 5000rpm with 20psi boost more then a knock on start up??? wtf

me personally I've always liked genuine nissan filters, but for any of my really tuned cars I use jap ones, mostly Greddy, but also like the sard mag filter and the nismo filters are not bad either. never tried drift ones, but with the ones I've used I never have problems with oil pressure coming up nice and fast.

Fair enough, the name drift is just, such a toss

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
