RS4DAYZ Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Gday all, Signed up to the forums a couple of days ago but have been trolling the stagea discussion thread for over a month now and have just bought a series 2 RS4 dayz. It's great to see a car that's still (relatively) rare on the road but with SO much information and support from enthusiasts. My background is an auto electrical trade (which i pulled the pin on after 5 years a couple of years ago) so i'm hoping to contribute as best I can to the forum. Also if anyone needs some clarification with SA road laws and motor vehicle regulations I will also help as best as I can. I'm still a noob when it comes to Stageas but the discussion pretty much covers everything so i cant see my self not being bale to find information when I need it!. It was a big step for a Toyota enthusiast driving a JZX100/1JZ to cross over to the Nissan/RB scene but I couldn't be happier with my new set of wheels!

RS4DAYZ Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 It takes a confident man to say that on a skyline forum! A stagea with a 1JZvvti would be like a boss!!

A stagea with a 1JZvvti would be like a boss!! not really. we aren't like some forums full of fanbois. a lot of us recognise that there are better motors than the RB Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379527-the-silver-clysedale/#findComment-6052500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xALmoN Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 they both have annoying hard to reach oil filters. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379527-the-silver-clysedale/#findComment-6052520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseekool Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 You haven't worked on a 1g-fe, now that has a hard oil filter to change. RB is a walk in the park.

xALmoN Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 if its anything more annoying than the 1j or the rb26, i don't wanna know about it. i'm seriously considering a relocation kit.

zebra Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Z32 lol...Engine out But yeah, Its a 2 stage process to get the filter out of the Snoarer, unscrew from top, place down on X-member get underneath, place new filter on X-member, and try and thread it blind from the top Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379527-the-silver-clysedale/#findComment-6053120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS4DAYZ Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Haven't done my first service on the stagea yet but I can just imagine what the boffins at toyota were thinking when they decided on the location for the filter... ..."hmmm lets put it where only small children might be able to access it, lets make it so some how it tightens itself tenfold so that you can barely get it off and lets put it right here so it pisses out oil all over the engine mount when ever you do a service!"

mad082 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i'm sure there are some other bad ones, but the skyline isn't that bad. the fwd sr20 (at least in the n15 pulsar) is pretty bad. you can see the filter, just can't get to it without having to have your wrist at 90 degrees, while also having it up against the head. the filter on the 2000 model corollas is also a bit of a pain. it's right next to the exhaust. best i've seen was the 3.5L v6 in the magna. it basically has a factory relocation kit. you look under the car and there it is, hanging down with nothing around it. you can get both hands on it. not contortionism, no burnt or scratched hands. no tipping oil all over the place trying to negotiate it out.

Filter is directly above the sump plug and on a right angle, so absolutely no mess to clean up when you remove it or drain the oil.
