undefinedHi, need a bit of help and direction here. How the heck do you physically change the Oil Filter in the GTR R32. I cannot even get my hands down between the side wall and the Collector pipe let alone reach under the collector pipe to undo the filter. I can’t even see where you would get the filter out unless it was “dropped” down, but then how would you fit the new filter?

What an I missing here? Is there something that has to be removed to make the filter accessible? Your assistance is most welcome.

You need to remove the large pipe from the intercooler to the intake plenum.

You will then be able to get your hand/filter wrench in there to get it out. You pull the oil filter out over the alternator to get it out.

If it's really tight, drop the alternator out as well for better access.

I highly recommend getting a oil filter relocation kit ASAP..........!!!

Ah-ha Thanks old mate, that makes sense to remove the large pipe, but I wasn't sure if there wasn't another way to do it. But I can see it makes more sense to get an oil filter relocation kit, unfortunately it'll have to wait a few more pay days. I have seen them quoted around $375 +/- but it would sure cut down on a lot of @#%$* whilst trying to do an oil filter change.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
