In the process of riding up my car lol, am trying to get a decent looking oil cap. Some say they are fine to fit all RBs or even all Nissan, others like a stock GTR oil cap say rb20/25/26 but they won't fit a neo rb25. Is this due to the stock plastic engine cover or is there something else different?

My understanding is all Nissan oil caps are M32 x P3.5, including S1, S2 and Neo RB25's. 

What makes you think they are different?

Because there are differences in the caps.

Possibly other reasons too, but i belive it's the length of the threaded section.

As a sanity check, I verified a few popular brands like HKS, Nismo, Top Secret, Tomei, etc. and all have the same part# for S1, S2 or Neo. 

Are we sure they're not the same? Because I'm pretty sure they're the same...

Since I really take this oil cap science seriously I decided to take this even further...

I confirmed with Nissan EPC that both older and newer style nissan oil caps (15255-1P103 & 15255-1P110) fit all RB25's. I then realized I have three Nissan's with both of these caps in the driveway so I did what any grown man would do... I ran out and interchanged them. They all fit. 

Btw while on the topic, the newer caps (1P110) that I have on my Sentra and Rogue are garbage and can never be undone by hand. 

Cheers.

Cheers lol,  I think the Jun oil filter caps say they only fit rb20 and rb26.

Also saw on another site that a stock GTR cap didn't fit a neo. I only have a Neo r34 so can't really check for differences

Keep this up and I'll end up doing my doctoral dissertation on oil caps... "Oil cap variations and its adaptive consequences on society"

Now - from my measuring on Rb25det's, it seems there's thread room, so either cap would fit, but I didn't say 'won't fit", I said that there are differences.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
