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

pics.... are you serious? lol how the f would i get a camera in their!!?? Dono if its tighter on stageas but fark this no room to move at all once ur on the filter with ur hands and its done up sooo f**king tight!

I/We (cheffstagea) feel like f**king idiots... Cant get this oil filter off at all! Done filter/oil on rb25's a fair bit and its a piece of piss but this f**ker just wont come of!!! Dono if its over tight or what? Boostworx did the 100K 5K ago and should have changed it then but dont see why they'd do it up this tight....

When I did my first oil change on mine I spent literally a half hour trying to get to f**ker off because whoever the cart was that installed it had done it up way too tight. I ended up having to buy one of those filter socket tools.

Even with this tool I had to get it to bite into the edge of the filter. Worked in the end though! I will now only use the Drift and K&N filters that have a nut welded to the end of the filter.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
