A few people have been wanting this, and I found a place that sells it.

Coventry Autoparts in Geebung. Turn at the Maccas at Virginia if going along Sandgate Rd. Or follow the road past the Geebung Rail station if coming from the other direction (Gympie Rd)

Cost me $80 for two 1 litre bottles.

damn ive had this stuff sitting in my car for 5 days now and haven't got around to getting someone to change it for me.

I did the engine oil without a problem but i think changing the gearbox oil is too much for me with no equipment/knowledge.

I got it from CRD

http://www.motorsportworld.com.au/outlets/croydon/

$100 for 4L (requires 3.5L and its actually a 3.7L bottle).

$10 next day courier delivery. Pretty sure they were at/near Silverwater from memory.

Yes I had the lightweight put in my car yesterday (Tuesday). I could notice a difference immediately on the drive home (3km) and it was better again today on the drive to work (3km).

I think by this time next week it should be at its full effect (400km later).

Deffinetly worth the $110. ($25/L + $10 Postage)

Edit: The easiest way I can describe the difference is...

standard oil:

When cold its very hard with 1st <-> 2nd + 4th sometimes crunches.

When its warm (1hr of driving) things aren't too bad but 4th still crunches now and then.

Redline oil:

Cold = the same as warm with the standard oil

I'll give it afew 100 km's first before i make a final judgement.

Verrrrry impressed with the oil so far.

A few mechanics I have spoken to have warned me against using such a slippery lube, as it doesn't let the synchros engage or something like that.

Though if you synchros are already pretty shagged then I spose you can't really do more harm.

hmmm....If sounds are anything to go by then my synchros are much healthier after the redline oil. I am sure crunching into gears is not as good, me thinks.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
