Hi peeps, need to do an oil change and filter on my cef pretty soon and information in the uk is pretty limited. I'm guessing the oil filter would be the same as a r32?? the engine is a 2ltr non turbo, believe it's just called a rb20e. Also should I use semi synthetic oil?

that's a ryco oil filter number. not sure of the distribution of ryco in the uk?

anyway, here is the genuine filter number:

1520855Y00

In a cold country, i'd probably run a semi-synthetic 15w50. i've heard motul is good. but, i'm using united oil atm :)

I always use the Cooper equivalent as I've heard some bad things about Ryco filter quality.

In regards to the oil, I run Penrite Syn 5 10w60 (I think) as I figure my old motor would appreciate the thicker oil at high temps. In my old car I had clicking at high RPM and tried heaps of oils and this one was the only one that reduced the noise so I've stuck with it :happy:

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
