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).

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
