Hi all,

Currently trying to get the oil filter of cheff stageas wags for him and it seems as if theirs a bracked or something on the side/next to it that stops it from comming loose?

Is this correct if so whats the go with removing it to change the oilfilter?

Its a stock setup no filter relocation kit or anything :(

Fast replys would be good :banana:

Cheers,

Chris

Chris, if you can't get it off, remove all the oil and just stab the filter with a screw-driver or something for more leverage. It's probably on way too tight, it should only be on hand-tight, with just enough pressure so it doesn't leak or come loose.

Yeah looking at some diagrams today its the oil pressure sender... Did you pull it to remove your filter before you got your relocater hugh?

Never thought id post a topic on how to remove an oil filter...

avoid punching a screw driver through it if you can. I have done it before when I've got the shits with an overtight filter and once when some clown installed a filter with the wrong thread but it's very, very messy and even worse it means if you still can't get it off you're not going anywhere as you now have a nice hole (or 2) in your oil filter.

you can get a strap type tool which is quite good, or if there is room you can use the tool with the fingers on it that you operate with a ratchet. sometimes a small sqaure of that non-slip stuff you use to open jars etc can work too. make sure your turning it the right way too! sounds silly but I know blokes who've gotten disoriented and been wanging it up tighter and wondering why it wouldn't come off...

+1 on the seatbelt material oil filter removers. they grip VERY well and only get tighter the harder you turn them. mine has a 1/4 socket on the end so on problematic cars i put my ratchet on it

yep, hence why I said "if there is room to use one". sadly on so many 90s turbo jap cars there is not enough room to turn one in there. you may find it easier to jack the car up or put it on a hoist and get at it from underneath though.

I had a fairly small metal strap type that had dimples in the strap to help it grip. The bastard in the stew was the fuel filter and the hose clamps with sharp sticky out bits. No joke when you are my age the skin is a lot thinner and small scratches cause a LOT of bleeding. Thats why I now have the relocater. On another thread I read about changing the fuel filter, so with the locater on top near the fuse box, I am going to relocate the fuel filter.

Life with a Stagea aint easy, but is a lot of..........something.

You should not have to remove it. Mine is an S1 so the sender only sends a signal to a dash light. Pressure senders are usually a lot bigger in diameter, buy I cant see Nissan being that stupid.

Incidently when I put in the relocater I in corporated an oil pressure and temperature sender, so now I have a three gauge cluster where the single din head unit is. All fits nice an neat and functional.

stab a screwdriver THROUGH the oil filter and use that to crack it loose, then undo it with your hands. when u change the oil filter, get DRiFT one or a K&N one, they have a 1" nut on the top for next time :nyaanyaa:

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
