simple answer F*CKIN HARD

i dont agree with engine out would make it sh*t loads easier though just seems like an AWFUL lot of work to take out the engine just for oil filter change

it is possible to change without removing engine but it is a absolute bitch!!! i changed mine with the engine in BUT i did have the plenum off at the time and it was still a mongrel

i recommend get a oil filter relocation kit ASAP

are you kidding mate? changing the oil filter is not hard at all. you read wrong mate, wrxhoon was talking about the oil pump

you seriously think you have to remove the plenum, or engine to change the oil filter?? hehehe

yes there are easier cars out there, but it's not a plenum off or engine out job by any means. god damn that's funny.

You tell him Richard , they are not that bad to work on , i dont even spill the oil when i change the oil filter ( with engine in place i may add) .

The oil pump is doable on the car as well but by the time you stuff around and take the xmember off , its just as easy to pull the donk out . Then again why would you want to change the oil pump ? If its because it failed what makes you think the donk is still ok ? In my view a failed oil pump means engine out and full rebuild job .

I love customer diagnosed complaints. Guy rings me last week and says...'My diff filler plug is missing, can I bring it in to have it replaced?' I tell him sure thing. He get's in, driving a barina. Tells me that the diff in the back has it's filler plug missing. I assure him that they don't have a diff in the back coz it's a front wheel drive. He proceeds to crouch down and point at the lump in the floor pan with a threaded hole in the base (jacking point).

When you have a problem, ask what it could be and explain the symptoms. It is easier to get the correct response that way.

No offence mate, sometimes a salesman or a mechanic, WITHOUT looking at the problem, think they have a fair idea about whats wrong. In which in this case I was confidently told that it could be the oil pump. And hence, I have posted what could be the problem and so far I have recieve excellent feedback to question.

There is your customer diagnosis.

More over I wanted to direct the question in a way so that the community can visualise the problem without having to ask more questions about where the problem lies. Some may call it logical progression.

BTW. thats pretty funny story about the barina.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      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!
