Well if it is a 1998 it would be a Neo correct?

So it is most likely from a R34 GTT or from a C34 Stagea. Pretty sure if you find the serial number on the block and do a search for it in Nissan FAST or something it would tell you.

Here is a picture of a Neo without the big plastic Neo cover on it:

As you can see the main differences are the throttle body, the timing belt cover, oil cap is recessed, plastic crank angle sensor etc.

take the current oil filter off to have a look at the code..

okay well it doesnt look like the neo thanks for the pic man (Y) however engine no is rb25069607A if anyone knows how to go from there? im assuming now its an r33 s2?

[syfon]

could be an rb25det from a series 2 r33?

[mad082]

it's a series 1 r33 engine. most likely from a 93 model.

As for filter, Z145A VS. Z442 are the same thread, sealing O-ring surface size.

Both from memory are around the 26-27 micron.

Z145A has an anti drain back valve but no pressure relief if it gets blocked etc.

Z442 Has pressure relief built into filter and anti drain back.

My opinion of it is that, the Z442 on later RB's is used because recomended oil change intervalls are shorter, so smaller filter satisfy those requirements.

I have used both on all RB's they are fully interchangeable... just smaller, oil cooler housing the smae etc. putting it in a nutshell "they blocks up sooner if you don't reguarly change your oil". but in normal use you won't ever have that problem.

Cheers
