hey guys, recently I picked up a genuine nissan r33 thermostat and fuel filter. the items were advertised as fitting an r33 gtst but when they arrived in the mail i realised that they're for a gtr. the thermostat is exactly the same for a gtst and gtr so I can use that but the fuel filter i'm not so sure about as it has that little bend in the top line and is a bit bigger. is it safe to use on a gtst? any reason why I shouldn't hook it up? any advice appreciated :)

id say send it back and get the proper kit.

If you ordered GTST then get GTST.

Id say anybody on here can only speculate on whether it will be ok or not to actually use the GTR one.

Incidentally what number does the face of the thermostat have etched in it? (the thermostat crack temperature)

the only real difference between fuel filters is the size of the bodies and the shape, angle and size of the lines, and any possible fittings on the end of the lines. as long as you can get the fuel lines onto the filter then there will be no issue using it. it's not like they are a performance item. the filter used on the GTR is the same as used on the SSS pulsar, and the gts-t one is the same as what's used on a 1.0L micra.

thanks mad082... exactly what I wanted to know! normally I'd go ryco filters but saw a genuine Nissan thermostat and fuel filter package off ebay for $35 and couldn't pass it up. The thermostat has 76.5 etched on it. will let u know how the fitting goes. Thanks guys :)

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
