Filter choice

[Chris 180SX]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone knew which oil/air filter to get for my JDM 180SX (SR20DET) - Are they UK S13 or UK S14 bits,

Cheers,

Chris

oil filter i just grab from any motorfactors, just say its for the sr20. The air filter is your choice and you need s14 fitting.

Thanks pal,

:)

[Prior]

youve come at the perfect time to research your air filters, theres just been a huge thread on it.

180sx uses a CA18 oil filter.

Ye i had one from nissan the other day its not the same as an s14!

i do have a part no. at home ill dig it out tonight i remember the box say Primera sr20de on it

180sx uses a CA18 oil filter.

even if its running a sr20?

[Chris 180SX]

Can anyone confirm which filter I need? It is an JDM sr20det 180SX (1996). If not I will probably end up finding out tomorrow one way by trial and error, and let you know!! ;)

Can anyone confirm which filter I need?

:nod: I can............ Nissan Micra K11 :wack: (March in Japan)

Seriously, It's not the same as the UKDM CA18 or SR20, it's a different size and thread.

Edit: thinking about it i'm almost sure it's a Unipart GFE285 or it could be a GFE298 (I should know i do work there :wack: )

But check this out (http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/main/engine/oil_filter/oil_filterNISSAN.htm), to confirm by original part numbers, that they're different.

Hmmm... isn't that awkward! Do you know where I can find a suitable one mate? :(

Oil filters will generaly fit loads of different engines from a specific manufacturer between certain dates. See above Edit :thumbs:

Ah thanks, So I am looking for a filter for a March/Cube/Largo... Were these sold in the UK? - It's just I was going to pop to halfords and well if it's not on their list....... :rolleyes:

[Easy007]

Cube/Largo not officialy and we call the March a Nissan Micra................

Basically your after a '92 onwards Nissan Micra K11 1.2 oil filter :thumbs:

Edit: K11 1.3 or K12 1.2

and whilst i'm in the editing mood............ DON'T GO TO HALFRAUDS........... seriously they know nothing. Go to your local motor factor (i work for Unipart/Partco so i'll have to recommend them but any will do)

[Easy007]

Did you get one??

[TurboZX]

sorry for the late reply mine is a 93 180sx with redtop SR

I went to nissan to get my oil filter P/N 15208-70j00
it was £5.36 not worth going any were else imo

[Chris 180SX]

Hi guys went round to Petrol's yesterday, and it seems to be the same diameter as one off his S14, so I was going to get one for that but was waylaid, however I may try nissan in the week, cause at that price it'd be even cheaper than halfords!!

[TurboZX]

ye it will be the same size filter as an s14 but the tread size will be different!!!

[Easy007]

Seriously Nissan Micra :nod:

CA18DET oil filter fitted my red top perfectly:

I went to Nissan last week and asked for a 180sx SR20 oil filter and they gave me a tiny one which they jokingly said was also off a Micra, so I'm still confused :wack:


Perhaps a few of them have the same threads and work ok :wack:

Check the link i posted on post #9 up there for confirmation.

Nissan Micra K11 filter FTW.......

[Jeff]

It seems entirely possible that either will fit :)

CA18DET oil filter fitted my red top perfectly

I used a uk spec S13 one on my 180 too, and it fitted fine :thumbs:

Yeah they do actually. Most 'older' Nissan's (including 180SX CA & SR) use 3/4-16 UNF thread. Most newer models (including S14, S15) use an M20 x 1.5 thread.

Fitting fine and doing the correct job are two different things though......... not that yours is necessarily doing a bad job but i like to fit the exact right thing.
