Hi all,

Have purchased the sandwich plate for my sensors (oil and pressure)

P

The plate costed 20 and it is unbranded but has oring on the side it is linking to the filter but no oring on the side which makes connection with the engine base

So question is , is that ok ? I have seen numbers of them on youtube and seems like you dont need an o ring or sealent on the connection to the base .

Also there is no o ring for the bolt holes ,there is 3 holes , 2 of which will be used for temp and pressure gauge and one blanked off.

Is that ok again with no o ring etc?

Re earth connection i guess any cable to the engine base will do ?

Many thanks smile.gif

This is. Pic of my item ( i bought it from same listing)

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301603288304?nav=SEARCH

So it has 2 sides one with oring and one flat

The flat will connect to filter and obribg to base?

How about the bolts? Do they need oring or sealent

Ok so how the first photo is is how it goes on, the bolt/nut goes through the plate and bolts to the thread the filter screws to then the filter screws to the thread you can see in the first pic, i can only see the first pic

The plate has O-ring same as filter which seals against block the filter has O-ring that seals against plate, the blot/nut will have a O-ring that will seal against the plate also

How about the bolts? Do they need oring or sealent

As Mick said for the plate, the bolts I'm assuming you mean the 2 blanking bolts that came with it? and any sensors you screw in, they're NPT thead which naturally make a fluid-tight seal as you tighten them.

The pressure sender ports will not leak, just use a little thread tape and do them up fairly tight (tighter than a filter), they are tapered threads and will pull down to a good seal.

For the main thread assemble as Mick said and tighten like a filter....still pretty tight. These things are a bastard if they start leaking.

BTW I guess you've already decided what to install....but I'd always relocate the filter at the same time to make oil changes easier.

I changed the filter and oil at the same time .

one question though , my k&n filter bought is quite smaller than what was installed, I have installed it and no issue but does this look small to you .

does oil filter restrict and reduce pressure ?

since I have changed the oil, the pressure has dropped slightly on the dashboard gauge ( the needle below rev ) from 4-4.5 to around 3.3-4

I guess this could be due to me changing the oil to 5w-40 and before it may have been 10w-60 ?

re filter , i bought it from a tuner in the uk and presume they would not sell dodgy stuff.

what pressure in psi should you read on the gauge ? I have installed evo gauge and soon will have the pressure shown in psi which at the moment i am relying on the gauge in the dashboard.

I will k&n to find out its rating for the filter .

pretty dirty

spoke to the sales guy and he said most likely mine was fitted with a wrong filter which was bigger from r33.

is this possible ?

he assured me the one I have is the correct one ?

even hks one seems small

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
