nope i wuz just hoping that it wouldn't make the oil turn black as quick as the ryco ones do!!!

sorry mate wasn't meaning to be harsh.

The fact that the oil turns dark isn't a bad thing - it means that all the particulates that are floating around your motor are being cleaned and contained within the oil, rather than booting around causing additional wear. These particulates are too small to be captured by any oil filter anyway.

Don't forget that oil does three things"

1. lubricates everything

2. carries away abrasive worn particulates to the filter, and if the particulates are too small, then suspends them in the oil until you do a change

3. cools components

I would be more concerned if my oil was still pristine after 5,000kms of hard driving when i dropped it at a change - tells me the oil isn't suspending the crap.

:P

Where the hell is the best place to get oil filters in sth east suburbs?
Any Autobarn, Repco, Supercheap, etc. Z145A, from memory.
I am after a mobil 1 filter to suit R32 RB26s.
No such animal AFAIK. Mobil only make oil. The Ryco ones are more than adequate.

:confused: How can a filter possibly make the oil turn black? It's residual "dead" oil that turns the (new) oil black.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
