Track day upgrades?

[STEVEN878]

Ill need to try and move the engine to get the filter to fit. I really don't want to add more hoses, etc and relocate the filter, as its more work and more to go wrong.

 

[whytie]

Fit a 200sx oil filter

 

[vss irvine]

More work once.

Rather than more work everytime you want to change the filter?

 

[STEVEN878]

decided to use a shallower oil filter from a 200sx and now theres plenty of room

 

[Jon Olds]

think mines got a micra filter on it..?..

 

[STEVEN878]

I text my mate to get me a 200sx filter this morning, he says its the same as the pulsar filter and the only one that was shallower is for a Suzuki alto :-/

anyways all up and running again and no leaks

cheers for the help guys

 

[whytie]

The Gtir and 200sx filters are not the same.

 

[STEVEN878]

Maybe just the parts place mate, as its not a genuine nissan part.

I always use genuine Nissan filters and they always say Nissan Micra on the box :lol: I've never had a problem getting one on, they are close to the rack but always go on easily ;-)

 

[STEVEN878]

The standard filter touches the pipes on the rack and wont go into place, but the suzuki alto one seems fine so far, but only had the car running for about 25 minutes checking for leaks and topping up oil levels, etc.

try the toyota 90915-yzzf2 ( i use the yzzf1, the f2 is shorter )

 

[STEVEN878]

Does anyone know if the standard rear anti roll bar is adjustable?
reason for asking is i was fitting a new handbrake cable and noticed 3 holes at either side of the bar.

 

[billy187]

That wont be the standard arb you have fitted then, you have the adjustable whiteline version fitted.

 

[whytie]

No it's not adjustable and has only 1 hole either side, sounds like you have a whiteline or some sort........... Bonus

 

[STEVEN878]

I was told when i bought the car 6 years ago it had full whiteline suspension, but the bar is black so wasnt sure...

 

[skiddusmarkus]

Probably got painted as they go rusty as soon as they are fitted.

 

[STEVEN878]

Yeah most likely mate. The diff, etc is powdercoated silver, so seems strange to paint the arb black.

think ill need to paint it silver

 

[Braveheart]

That's good news that you have adjustable rear ARB's....... cold wet weather soft, hot grippy dry track hard... obvious I know.
First time out, I set them stiff thinking the OE ARB's were stiff. Spun the car twice on my first trial at KH.
I set them slack and the car did not step out the rear..... You have more permutations now... play with NS / OS tyre presures as well to try to find a sweetspot for your driving style.

Remember KH in my pulsar. Sleet coming down during drivers briefing, running Pirelli RS5 tyres. Rubber was like leather, think I nearly spun on every corner on the track. Embarrassing. Lesson learnt. Hard rubber, zero degrees doesn't work
