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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
