Also where is a good place to find some extra bolts and clips it seems many have gone missing with what happened to the cover.

I'd just go to the dealership parts dept in this situation.

Thanks for the fast reply, was thinking I might have to go to the stealership.

You could also search the database at Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com. They might have it listed.

This diagram might help.

Thanks the pics really help.

Oh and I want to say the oil filter was on so damn tight I had to get a wrench to get it off. I think they forget to oil the rubber or something when they put it on at the factory because there is no way someone can remove that without destroying the filter.

They're really nice, I like mine. A couple minor caveats if using on a modified car though: the oil door is in the wrong place if you go with some aftermarket oil pans (AM Performance), the whole floor is too shallow if you use an oil pan spacer (any of the 1-inch Al spacers out there), the floor is very slightly too shallow for some aftermarket front swaybar bushings (e.g. Hotchkis, but you can still shove it together and it works), and aftermarket sways + lowered ride height + aggressive track driving = front swaybar will bang into and distort the undertray over time.

Anyone know the +1's for the K&N and Mobil 1 oil filters? I just left Pep Boys and got the Pureolator 14610 but I'd rather get K&N. They say it's the HP1008 for stock size and Mobil 1 stock size is the M1-108

onzedge · 12-30-2011, 09:15 AM

The K&N is the HP-1010. I am unsure about the Mobil 1.

kenchan · 12-30-2011, 04:15 PM

you can fit M108 or M110. the 110 is just a tad longer.

Since then I am using Dimple Steel Magnetic drain plug with its own washer.

Just picked this up, can I reuse this indefinitely? Or is it still recommended I change it every time I do an oil change?

tannedman · 02-13-2012, 02:44 AM

I was wondering is it okay to use the royal purple for an oil change? Or do we have to stick with the ester oil from Nissan?
