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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
