I've done some searching on this site and google etc, Im still stressing because i believed my engine to be a series 1 RB25det (as it has the ignitor ontop of cam cover) BUT today i bought an oil filter from a workshop, he gave me the wrong filter & upon returning i asked for the same filter currently on my car (Z442) the guy said they are for 1998+ RB25DET's only..

I've already bought cams for a series 1 RB25 yet to be fitted.

can anyone confirm this?

the wrong oil filter could have been put on at any time in the past.....z224 is a straight replacement that is a little smaller so maybe a mechanic just used it because thats what they had on the shelf, or maybe like me they had to change to that when something like an oil fitler sandwich plate was installed.

however I am pretty certain Z224 is not correct, factory fitment on any skyline including post 1998. They are off ca18 silvia, micra etc.

Thats great info guys, I appreciate it.

I have no AFM (Microtech ecu).

The guy pulled out his booklet and claimed Z442 filters are for 1998+ Rb25dets.. so the last of the R33's then R34s.

I'm hoping (as Duncan suggests) that its just the wrong filter currently on as the last filter change was done by a workshop.

I'll do an oil filter change this week, see how it goes with the Z442, might clear some things up

Forget the oil filter that's on there, any monkey could have grabbed a random one that threaded on and used it. I don't remember seeing a Z442 in the reference book, I have a series 2 and it definitely uses a Z145A filter.

I run a Z145A on my S2 motor however its not post 1998. interesting how the guy said it was for late models?

1998 was the last year of the R33.

This book lists RB25DET in two date ranges, 91-98 and 98-on. 91-98 is the R33 and uses a Z145A filter, 98 on is the R34 and uses a Z442 filter. The Z442 will be no good on your R33, the thread will be wrong.

Just to clarify that, Z224 has the right thread for all RBs, it is just physically smaller.

So it won't stuff anything, but the bigger the filter for the available space, the better

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
