Guys i'll start sending payment information out so we can get this going.

The group buy will still be open for more people until the given date, but might aswell get it going given that we have the required amount of people.

OK Pm's have been sent so every one should have details regarding payment.

DTSNR32 I could not PM you because I think your inbox is full. Let me know when you make space and I will send you the details.

For either Phil or anyone who would start a group buy for a relocation kit separate to these coolers, I'm in for one of those. I can't justify a cooler (even for this price) but a relocation kit is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for anyone who does their own oil changes imo, lol.

:blink: .. I've never understood the whining about reaching the oil filter - like on GTRs sure - with the plenum in the way it would be a right pain - but on GTST/GTT?

Are GTST different or something? On the R34 GTT it's like totally easy? .. Never had any dramas? Couldn't imagine wasting time/money on a relocator ..

Not on an RB25........ you guys got it easy!

Yep RB25's are easy UNLESS you have Plazmaman plenum and nitrous fuel lines in the way lol.

That's the only reason I want one. If I had a stock 25 I wouldn't bother.

Either you guys have conveniently crafted a catch container for the remaining oil in your filter when you unscrew it (ice cream container for example), or you don't give a rats ass about the amount of oil that remains in the filter and pours out down the side of the block and all over the steering rack/wishbone etc...

I like a neat, tidy, and most of all CLEAN engine bay. Having to use that much degreaser to clean that shit is a pain in the ass, and I'm certainly not leaving it there. With a relocation kit the filter will either already be "hanging" and therefore won't pour oil out, or will be in a position where it's much easier to place a catch container underneath it so as to not spill oil everywhere.

Nobody agrees? If you guys have a way around this shitstorm mess, PLEASE TELL ME. As long as it doesn't involve getting your car even HIGHER off the ground - ie hoist.

Don't really know what to say? From what I recall of the last change, I don't get that much residual oil from the oil filter hole besis what's in the filter, and the angle of the filter means it doesn't tend to spill too easily. Any residual oil from the filter hole is caught by the big oil drain catcher I use that also catches from the sump drain plug ..

I tend to keep my engine bay fairly immaculate, I can't stand mess and untidiness.

.. eh, each to their own. Whatever suits you, man :)

I've always had this problem...dunno how you don't have much :P Though depending on how hard I've thrashed the car, I will occasionally jack it higher on the left hand side to allow a further ~400ml or so oil to drain out. As an indirect result of this, the filter will retain more oil due to the angle...oh I don't know, either way, if I can avoid fiddling around with the f**king thing on the side of the block, I'll do it! haha

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
