evening all,just a couple of questions of a tech nature i am going to be doing an oil change on the motor,is there any differance between a j-spec oil filter and a uk one? also was planning to use a genuine nissan item but my local dealership aint to interested in my motor cos its an import any ideas? also want to change the fuel filter & spark plugs whats the best make ?

No difference in oil filter or fuel filter, and the spark plug question is debatable, ask dan at DTA in the traders section for the ones you need

Hi Craig,

 

In answer to your questions:

 

1) There is no difference between UK or JDM-spec oil & fuel filters. The parts you want are A5208-H890C (oil filter) & 16400-Q0805 (fuel filter). I have both of these in stock for next day delivery.

 

2) Spark plugs: if you are running a stock car (ie no modifications) then best to stick with stock NGK6B-11C plugs. Don't have them in stock at the moment but can get them from UK stock in 2 days. If you are running a modified TT then I strongly recommend the NGK PFR6B-11B plugs (£68 for set of six - currently on backorder)

 

FYI: When changing the fuel filter, make sure you first take out the fuel pump relay. It is located in the engine bay in the small fuse box on the driver's side just by the brake booster servo. It is the inner most relay (ie the one closest to the engine. Also open the fuel flap and loosen the petrol cap so as to release any residual air pressure in the fuel system. You may then want to crank the engine a couple of times to remove as much petrol from the lines as possible. This will prevent excessive spray when you undo the fuel filter hoses. Inside one of the old fuel filter pipes you'll find a small plastic piece of pipe - this is a restrictor and needs to be transfered to the same location in the new fuel filter. Some people have reported not to have found this restrictor so if it is not there then don't worry. It is not doing the car any harm.

 

FYI: Here is a quick quote for the filters from me (DTA-Motorsport (UK)):

OEM020 - Oil Filter (genuine Nissan part): £7.00

OEM021 - Fuel Filter (genuine Nissan part): £14.00

 

You can find more serviceable items on our website: Smithy's Place & DTA-Motorsport (UK)

 

Please let me know if you require further assistance.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a mines ecu, apexi induction kit, 1mm boost jets, and straight through zorst, would that warrant using a set of the '11-B' plugs? (I have the 11-C's at the mo, runs ok, but hesitates slightly from tick over when accelerator is pressed, and sometimes tempremental idle)...

 

Cheers...

The spark plugs will not be the cause of the hesitation look at throttle balance, base tick over setting and tps setting.
