Hey guys just need some advice.

I am about to do a quick oil change with some Motul 10w40. I recently got the car from Japan and picked it up from compliance who done an oil change (not sure of oil) and filter change (OEM Nissan filter). I want to know if it is OK to just do an oil change and leave the filter as it is new or do I need to change that aswell?

Thanks in advance.

Oil change = change filter... just to be on the safe side.

Alright, if you know for a fact that the filter is new or less than 1-2 thou km's than no real problems from what i know but otherwise = oil filter change....

You now own a GTR, expect to spend money and no i am not joking.

EDIT: if it was me i would pay the $20-40 odd dollars and change the bit*h for peace of mind... if you know what i mean.

Yer GTR's are money pits indeed haha.

My only real concern was the other oil (under 200kms old) that would remain within the filter and it mixing with the new oil but I guess there is probably much more that would remain in the engine anyway.

Fair enough, my point was "can you trust the compliance company"?

Personally after my compliance(r33 gts-t) i got my mechanic to change all oils(brake, engine, tranny, diff, etc) to what he thought best, as well as the oil filter however he has owned VL turbo's and 300zx's for many years with no problems...

But under 1,000 kms old i would not stress too much as you will be changing the oil and filter in another 5,000 km's again or so anyways....

My father who is a mechanic also recommends that a oil change = a change of filter, generally speaking (as a oil filter is cheap considering it filters out the impurities in the oil).

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
