took mine out on sunday, cut my hand on various screws and stuff like 6 times.

In my r32, i unscrewed the fuel line bracket just forward of the filter, then got the filter to an easily accessible place, then pulled like a MF, just came off...

try getting pliers, clench just at the end of the nozzle ( on a soft spot in the line) and lever the pliers against the fuel filter... worth a shot... : )

i just changed my fuel filter on the last service its a bitch...

put hose clamps on either side of it so u don't spray fuel everywhere (also makes the car start much sooner after you have changed the filter) then remove the engine side first (pull damn hard (don't yank it from the engine, hold the hose and the filter and pull them appart) then pull really really hard to get it off from the fuel tank side. thats the hardest....*

My advice is to not do up the hose clamps too tightly when you put the new one in, because I reckon this is what makes the hoses harder to get off next time. Just tight enough to not come loose should be enough.

when i did mine i rememberd getting one end off but the other was tight asss....so i just cut it off...haha. im very paranoid so after i put everything back together i went over the hose again with a wet rag to neutralise any petrol that leaked in case it ate into the hose or caught on fire from the engine heat. as i said im paranoid...lol the car was so responsive after that. any idea on how often the filter should be changed??

depends how u run your car also...if u run it to empty then alot of the shit in the tank is more likely to get sucked up...if u leave like 1/4 or abit more in the tank before u fill up, dont chnage it too often...but its a simple thing to do, makes sure your engine gets all the fuel it needs and wants.

No one has yet properly explained to me why this is the case. I don't buy into it personally.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
