Hi all, I dont like making new posts, but iv searched for an hour about bloody oil filters and here is my problem:

I got a genuine filter from the local nissan P/N 15208-53JOA told him i had an rb25det.. Filter box does say rb26dett, and is a pretty small unit.

I bought 6 online for a great price from U.S. and they are P/N 15208-55YOA and they are a bigger unit, like z145a. Box says for most of the vg series engines.

I cant find info on the difference between the two, which one really is the rb25 genuine part?

Ill think of everything else i was gonna ask in a minute... thanks

Dunno I use the Nismo veruspeed one - so long as they fit and you change them regularly I don't think it matters too much. If want bigger some guys here are using an aircraft filter!

Im not too sure about that. A local performance garage told me that a customer supplyed them and genuine nissan oil filter, they put it on and started the car and the oil pissed out. Apparently the guy got a filter for a s13 SR not a s14 SR. I don't look up much SR stuff through work but i can tell you i wouldn't be trying any old filter that look like it's the same even if the filter looks fine.

Come to think of it we had a K12 micra towed into work and another workshop fitted a later model micra oil filter, done the same and dropped the oil.

If i was at home on my computer i would look up on Fast for you. But im pretty sure the above is correct.

R33 S1 and S2 over here will be 15208-H890C

Neo's are 15208-31U0B from memory. Or 15208-53JOA i think.

So its different numbers to the states?? so why would they send me 55YOA? I did order by engine model not part number. A bit confusing?

I would say so as i have never seen that part number for an oil filter. Unless its a supersession to come but i highly dought it. That oil filter might be correct over there but not here! Maybe they sent one for a completly different motor..

Yeah nah it's 15208-H890C over here in Australia. I have no idea what 15208-H8911AU would be as the part number is way too long..Unless it's an old part number. Last i checked it was H890C.

I have never run a Nissan oil filter I know cars running 300+ kw with out a Nissan one it's better to buy the filter you know fits rather then muck around buying it from the states it will only be on there 5 to 10 thousand km If serviced properly

or just get a genuine filter from your local nissan dealership, they're always in stock and not much more than a ryco. yer the rycos are fine, but the nissan filter is a little better

I did this, and ended up with the wrong one ermm.gif will contact local dealer monday.

And im going genuine for the quality. i used ryco's before but this build will only see genuine for now..

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
