you're right it isnt that complicated but that is an awesome write up. your trick with the hot water on the hoses is one i wish i knew before. woulda save me a lot of frustration and skinned knuckles. i tried wd40 lol. cleaned it off at the end but now im forever worrying that i over lubed them and they are gonna pop of and spray fuel all over my engine. :)

Cable ties should help to hold the hoses on i reckon ?

just a guess though. lol

That's gold about you pouring the fuel back into the tank. When I did the fuel filter on my mate's car, we were trying to think of good ideas of what to do with the fuel. When doing the filter, it drops a fair bit of fuel. My friend thought the most effective way of not wasting it was to light it on fire (not near car) :)

Don't know the part number but any Autobarn Supercheap Bursons etc will have them, just look in the catalogues they have lying around the store and find it - its very similar to the one used on the 300ZXs. (they are actually interchangable, the only difference is the bend on the outlet side of the filter)

ive actually heard that the fuel filter for 300zx are the same fittings but better flowing due to its larger size ;) not sure about its validity but guess you could check up with shops or somewith an old 300zx filter and test fit (with clamps on etc coz u dont want crap going through)

Should be about the same size. It just doesn't have the right angle connection on the top.

I changed mine recently. The hot water trick didn't work for me. I just undid the 2 nuts the hold the bracket and took it off so I could get some easier twisting action on the hoses. Changed the filters within 2mins.

check with your local supercheap. the place i got mine had two part numbers for the z32, one with the bent fitting and one with straight. i cant remember the brand though. its about 1.5 times the diameter of the one i replaced so gotta flow better imo.

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
