The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

JARblue · 05-08-2019, 12:12 PM

My oil filter wrench has no issues fitting it on the Z even with oil cooler thermostatic plate and larger oil filter. I can't get a socket wrench on the end, but a large ratcheting wrench or crescent wrench easily gets to it.

If my oil filter wrench doesn't do the job, I just do what FP does... stab it with a screwdriver and twist lol

Your Z is pre-factory oil cooler, yes?

Crushing the filter with a pair of channel locks is also a good feeling

That guy

I've actually decided I'm not at all interested in Z1 parts anymore. Plus I don't need the high capacity cover anyway - the diff I'm getting doesn't heat up like the clutch type diffs do. I'm planning to grab a Nismo finned diff cover from Joe at ZSpeed - he's waiting on a supply of them.

I never have an issue getting the oil filter off. I run a thermostat sandwich plate and the large passport oil filter. Of course I’m the only one that has ever put an oil filter on that car and I’m very careful with how tight I make it. I also use the purolator filter which has a nice rough powder coat texture to grip.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

I've never had an issue on my Z. Only on other Z's when I wasn't the last person to do the oil change.

I think it went good. Maybe not well only because they didn't really find out much about me beyond my current job.

Pintsize725 · 05-08-2019, 02:36 PM

Got a call from a recruiter here in about 10 minutes and still waiting on word from another app. For now, getting the kiddo and then Dave and Aziz!
