check the "goods on oils" thread.. its over a 100 pages long but spend a bit of time reading through, improves your knowledge about how oils work.. benefits/disadvantages of types of oil i.e semi synthetic/ fully synthetic etc etc - you'll find your answer in there somewhere. I would go off your dipstick though. start with 4L - turn car on for a few minutes.... let it sit for a bit - check dipstick - keep topping up in small increments until you reach the H level.

Rido sweet will do didn't even no a page like that was around!! I'll jump on now and have a read!! But yeah I'll do that to shouldent be to hard now :) I'll take pics step bye step and post them to

You may have done this, but id recommend putting a piece of that plastic loom covering stuff over the lines where they pass here. That braided stuff is actually piss weak in terms of wear, and with movement of the engineetc, it will eat through that line in no time!

I pretty much have mine covered from just after the core to just before the block. Just where you can see the pretty lines it isnt :D

And in a GTR, you cant see squat under the manifold anyway haha.

Ok sweet as will do that then, cheers mate for that!! How to i connect it to the block? Does it just screw In Orr,? I dnt have it yet so i can't look at it a sus it out for my self just got to ask all these stupid questions that will make more sense to me when im holding it probably.

edit: also depending on what Pal has done with his, do not over tighten the oil filter like i did last time.. due to its close proximity to the radiator pipe / fuse box / washer bottle - when you go to do an oil change there is very little room and its quite hard to get leverage without taking the washer bottle out (i broke 3 of those oil filter removal tools, and yes i had to do the screwdriver into the side trick which i thoroughly DO NOT recommend)

dude just get a 3/8 filter claw, a 300mm extension and a ratchet.

Argh ok sweet makes sense now cheers!! Should be wayyy easier thanks

hopefully they give you a small seal where it connects to the block - mine came without one - had to go find a similar ring at the local hardware..

and smokey - i used the filter claw - that just crushed the oil filter more leaving less filter to grab a hold of.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
