sr20det oil filter (blueprint adn12112)

does anyone use the oil filter made by blueprint? part number adn12112. reason im asking is cause my mate changed his oil yesterday and used this filter is was tightened properly and after 2 miles it popped off and his engine is now ceased. i went home and checked my own as had jus changed mine a week before to find my oil level was very low and oil all around the filter, when in the motor factors this is the filter that was coming up on the system for 96 sr20det but i think this is for an s14 which ive been told is slightly different but still fits the 180, when i screwed it back a bit there s a bit of play on the thread s just warning to anyone using these filters

yea tis is a common problem with them ! I was warned about this when i bought mine ! apparently a micra oil filter will do d job :confused: but dont no for sure ?
I got a normal oil filter for mine in d motor factors and its never pop off thank god ! :)

i heard the same tbh, take the time to order a genuine one from nissan :)

lads the money ya spend on ur cars at least put the extra €3-4 quid and buy genuine oil filters:rolleyes:

a genuine oil filter is about 8-10 quid....
as stevo said... dunno why anyone would even put that shit on ur car.... :rolleyes:

He could have left the old rubber ring of the old filter on the face of the block

ye i was debating wether to get the micra one or no but im just going to get a genuine nissan one not taking the risk, worst thing about it is my mates 180sx has been sitting up for a year and we jus spent last coulpe weeks moulding wide arches onto it and re spraying it and then this happens 5 minutes after we finished it:([IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/mug8co.jpg[/IMG]
And five mins later with a trail of oil down the main road

nice looking motors,what happins now lad

engines seized so gonna have to be stripped see wat the damage is, and im straight up to nissan in the moring to get some filters ha

hopefully the damage isnt too bad,best of luck stripping her

sweet looking cars there...

ive heard this storey happing a few times but really dont buy into this "you have to buy a nissan filter"

ive been using halfords filters for 3 years HOF285.. ive changed the oil a hell of alot of times and NEVER had ANY issuses...

to oil filter on an sr is is a poxy place and its a mixture of people not tightening them properly or with the old rubber ring left in place..

ADN12112 is for the newer VVT equiped sr20's

ADN12110 is the one you need for the non vvt sr's


As for buying genuine filters, There is simply no difference between a good quality aftermarket filter(like blueprint) and a Nissan boxed filter.

The problem is generally motor factors not haveing specific knowalage about specific fitments.

Basically if you want the correct filter for a 180sx ask for one from a sunny gti-r or a micra k12/k11(adn12110)

For a UK/jdm s14/15 sr20 you'll be right with the UK 200sx listing.
