Recommended Posts

well its time for my first oil change on this car but i cant seem to find any definitive answers as to what oil filter i should be using.

ive tried the Ryco website stating that its a Z442 but now that i get it home, its way too small to fit on there.

the one thats currently on it doesnt appear to have any markings leading me to the model number or size

so what filters do you guys use?

had the same problem, except i went by the books instead of checking the previous oil filter on mine. z442 was too small for me as well. ended up sticking to the ryco Z145A that was originally came off the car. works a treat.

Stick with genuine parts and u wont have a problem. For a Sump washer and filter its under 10 bucks.u cant go wrong.

Part number 15208-h8911au, its the larger of the two oil filter that can go on there. this one is made in thailand

there is nothing wrong with the ryco filters (you will find that they make a large amount of the "genuine" filters on cars and make all filters to OEM spec). as for which filter to use, just look at whats on there. if it is a non genuine one just match the numbers

    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
    • Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
