As the post suggests.

ive read all the posts on oils and filters, some say Z145a or equiv, some say other things.

I've just bought a K&N filter off Ebay :laugh: , which was advertised as a z145a equiv.

It FINALLY arrived and the actual part number is HP-2008, and im not sure. i cant find a cross reference for it anywhere and was wondering if anyone had a K&N hanging off thier car?? if so the part number and your thoughts would be great :) as im not gonna pull my car apart before im dead sure.

ive also got a ryco filter sitting in the shed that i bought from autobarn....silly me for thinking they know what theyre talking about on something as simple as an oil filter (considering one of their employees has a R33 GTST sitting out front), its NO where near the right size LOL. but thats my bad.

cross fererence numbers are FRAM PH3682 / DG3682 and PUROLATOR L24457, same here googled both and from what i can see, NON of these numbers fit a skyline, non of the filter manufacturers cover skylines at all, why is this?

FINALLLY!!!! i found site confirming that the HP-2008 will fit, but i should read further before jumping around, aparently the 2009 has a bypass, which the 2008 doesnt, so as long as oil stays nice and clean shoudlnt be a problem

HP-2008 IS the correct unit you need. been using them for years on my 25.

Thankyou!!!!!!! really good to finally hear a solid YES for this filter, thanks sooo much man, ive been going nuts trying to figure out if was gonna use it or not :huh:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
