On the weekend I thought id do a quick service on my car, I changed the oil and fuel filter (forgot to change the oil filter when it was empty, but more on that later) so left the oil filter in tact.

First thing I noticed is that the oil pressure guage was moving for once, im sure its only ever just around half way no matter what the RPM was sitting at, but now it moves with the revs as it should, what would make it do this suddenly? not that im worried, just curious

Second can I change the oil filter without fear of it draining all the oil in the engine? im assuming because its on the side it should be ok, but i thought id check before I accidently let out 4.5l of new motul oil onto my driveway :rofl:

and one last thing the aircon/fans have stopped working, only time any air comes though is when its on 18deg and the car is moving, but stationary or try turning the heat up and it nothing will happen. What could be the cause of this? need regassing or a new thermostat maybe?

Any help is grately appreciated :rofl:

Yes you can change the filter without the oil falling out! It really should have been done at the time you changed the oil though, but you know that.

You don't need to bleed the fuel line, that's for old school diesels.

The fan issue sounds like a fuse. Have you checked them?

what they said..

if you take the filter off, a reasonable amount of oil *will* come out (well on the GTS-T anyhow, can't see why GTR be different) if its got oil, but won't piss out. It can be hard to screw the new one in with oil over your hands also!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
