Rb26 oil filter change has defeated me. How the f**k do you get the f**ker out. I think i may need a smaller tool to get to it.

It also feels like the filter on there is smaller than the replacement Z145a one i've got, but that could just be tiredness creeping in

You forgot: buy oil filter relocation kit as the step before that i think. Will be putting one of those in next time.
yes mate get one.

The way the standard oil filter is mounted on the side of the block is beyond f**king stupid

On a random tangent, I'd love to have a rally prepped WRX or EVO out on some of the tracks in the gas fields right about now...

Without in vehicle monitoring equipment of course. I wouldn't be wanting to drive them at 40km/h....

My sister and brother in law are getting rain on the farm up at Biloeila too, should be enough to get them through winter, they still needed to sell a lot of stock at no profit though. But at least the breeders they kept should now make it through.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
