So the Stag is due for a oil/oil filter change and I thought I'd go to the local Nissan dealership and get the genuine oil and filter to try out. Oil is 7.5W/30 ($42ish for 5L) and the filter is part number 15208-53J0A ($18ish). Filter is much smaller then the usual Ryco Z145A that i use. My questions is, will this smaller filter fit alright? The sales guy there at the Nissan service centre said it's the updated oil filter which is indeed smaller, and will fit 10/98 C34's onwards. I just don't want to drain the oil and then find out the oil filter doesn't fit!

neo motors use the z442 (i think) which is the smaller filter

its the right one for a neo and will fit on anything earlier but sometimes the older larger filter catches on something

Just did it, yes it fits, no worries. A lot easier to fit then the Z145A. :)

have you been running the larger Z145A filter on it (ie it fits?) if so I would stick with that for sure.

Z145A and Z224 have the same thread but the 145A is much larger and therefore a better filter.

Yeah I have.

So, the bigger the better then? :) I thought the Z224 had different filtration properties (?) or something.

On a side note, not entirely convinced with the Nissan 7.5W/30 oil. Maybe in winter but I have a feeling it gets too hot in ADL for that oil.

they won't be different internally within a given brand....the larger ones just have larger surface areas.

and I agree....nissan's recommendation sounds more relevent to a snow bound country to me. 10 or 15w40 or even 20w50 if the motor is a little worn

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
