[DriftSquad]

hey i cant find anything in the search thingo!

how do u replace the fuel filter ina R32 GTS-T its realy deap down and looks tricky! who has dun it here?

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

use a small screwdriver to remove the 2 hose clamps, and remove. No real trick to it, you may find it easier to remove the filter from the braket to get to bottom hoseclamp

rememebr to wait for engine to cool down so you dont burn yourself on intake manifold

what fuel filter is good to use aswell? i dont think my filter has ever been changed!

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

i just went to parts store and asked for one to fit my car.

though i might add, the stock one has a bend in one of the pipe's going into filter. the replacement they gave me, the line was straight. It worked fine, but i couldnt get the filter back in the braket

ps. check your other thread

what type of filter was it.. the 1 they gave me was only 15 bucks and its plastic and its a little smaller then the origanal 1. was this the case with u??

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

no, plastic is wrong

it should be metal, and exactly same size, just mine didn't have the bend in the pipe.

they probably gave you one from one of the rb30 locally delivered skylines

If you go to autobarn or where ever you should be able to look the part number for a fuel filter up in the book.

The one without the bend in the pipe is for 300zx i think.

What's the best way to do it without spilling fuel everywhere? As obviously when the filter is taken off the bottom clamp, and fuel in the lines is going to go everywhere?

I've got a spare fuel filter and have been meaning to swap it over for a while but have never gotten around to it.

Yank the fuel pump fuse and let the car die. Try and turn it over a couple of times and you will use up most of the remaing petrol. Have a rag to catch the rest.

Works for me, cheers

I used Z 201 cost 11$ .It has straight top/out piping so You have to replaced fuel hose for longer one ,half meter 7.5 mm cost about 9 $.

Or You can use a Z 387 cost about 38$ same bended top pipe as genuine one.

Its not a problem to change I did two R 32 today .Take me few minutes .Pul out filter with smal hose from botom pipe ,than change filter out of tha car and put back filter with smal hose and top big hose already back on to botom pipe.

Fuel here is real shit so You need to replaced fuel filter at least every 10000 kms.

If You can not for same reason change fuel filter and have something to do in Brisbane ,come to my place I can changed for You.No problem.
