dude, the 1jz oil filter location is worse then the 7m's!

[Mr.PFloyd]

what the fuck is up with that. Why of all places in that location facing the driver side suspension?
anyway so the guys who did the swap for him clearly must have decided it would be fun to fuck us the 1st time by putting a larger filter in the stock location so it basically almost touches the drivers side suspension pillar. I swear they must have not thought it through before putting it in and strapping it down. We couldn't get a filter cap in there let alone wrench to turn it, so i hammered a hole in the filter and turned it with a large pole. Sorry guys just had to vent... i swear i would rather do a 7m over this shit any day of the week, this is far too much for me

1JZ stock oil filter + Larger then stock filter = 5 hours of fun

Relocation kit time?

Relocation kit time?

most def. ill order 2 when i order my kit.. :3d_frown:

 

[mattjk]

LOL, with the stock toyota filter, it's one of the easiest to change.

dude not even. we couldn't even get the stock filter down there w/o problems...

 

[mattjk]

I'm confused, is this a RHD car? Mine is soooo easy.

 

[bigaaron]

It was probably put on too tight. Get a normal filter and a filter wrench, easy as pie.

 

[bobiseverywhere]

I have trouble with mine to. Can't get my arm and hand down there to really change the thing ....lol

I was thinking a relocation kti as well (down the road that is, out of cash). Then i could add in an oil cooler as well. It seems like Greddy has a Nice Kit for the oil filter relocation.

 

[OneJArpus]

anyone recommend a good relocation kit? I want to do this to make it 10X easier? Or will any kit work? From summit? Jegs? jcwhitney?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

going from underneath is easy too.

This isnt rocket science =/

 

[mattjk]

are you guys like superduper fat or buff in the arms? Take a picture of your filter location...

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

kyle when you go under, there is a fuel line that gets in the way...
And we're not super buff, just well toned to say the least. We can barely get our arms in there to turn it without hitting either the dipstick tube, or the clutch master cyl..

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Fuel line never stops me!

Im thin as a rail tho lawl

 

[Brewster]

i couldn't get to it from the top but it was easy to get to from underneath, i just leaked oil everywhere. i use a pureone filter and it's pretty small... i did leak oil everywhere though. only put the filter on hand tight.

yeah from now on, no more larger then stock filters

 

[The Reaper]

lol yea it was way too tight then

getting to it was easy in my buddy's 1J

but taking his old one off was a different story. he gorilla'd it on there

 

[bobiseverywhere]

ill take a pic in a little bit

fuel line, master cylinder it all gets in my way

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

so bob, your car gonna be ready for the toronto meet or not sheesh!

 

[OneJoeZee]

dude not even. we couldn't even get the stock filter down there w/o problems...

Maybe you have big hairy gorilla hands.

loosen filter, put ziplock bag over filter, continue to take off filter. all the oil falls in the bag and you don't make a mess.
