Difference in oil filter quality?

The old owner of my 33 gtr recommended nismo oil filters. With the current shipping prices it would be expensive to buy these from japan, and i would rather not bulk buy 10 of them to justify the shipping. Are store bought mobil/k&n filters just as good? The car has 450hp from turbos, otherwise stock. 

Sorry for it having being asked before

If you're in the US you're looking for 15208-55Y0A which is the Nissan USA part number. Oil filters are not that complicated.

And he probably drank that coffee that goes through a Civet's bum at USD750/kg. Us peasants use name brand filters at the best price. I also use 15208-55Y0A got a shrink wrap pack of 10 a few years ago for practically nothing from the local  stealer.

There are a few good youtube videos on oil filter comparisons analysing all aspects of them, not just filtration - mostly US brands but interesting to see the construction differences. I use Sakura oil filters over Ryco, as they're cheaper and have better construction in my opinion. I have used Nismo but i don't believe they're worth it.

Construction does matter, in the sense that I've seen Fram/etc filters that don't even have the filter media glued together properly or lacking the OE spec anti-drainback valves or some stupid things like that. Personally I'm happy to run the Nissan oil filters just to never worry about stuff like that. Better oil filtration in gasoline engines is also mostly a false economy, even if you had a sub-micron bypass oil filter you need to drain the oil around OEM intervals anyways as gasoline motors tend to start creating oil sludge blocking VVT cam phasers and the like if you wait too long.

i have an rb30 + t with cam, 1.5mm rear  restrictor and front blocked, with gtr oil pump. the ryco/ fram filter would always push 110 at start up, 80 wot and 40 plus at idle. i didnt like this.

i have now used 3 nismo filters and they have all been reliable at 60 start up 40 wot when warm and 20 at idle which i prefer.

FWIW

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
