Motul is frog f**ker shite. It gave me nothing but trouble, as soon as it got temperature into it my oil pressure dropped. Penrite Sin is my second choice after Royal Purple, it is almost as good as proven in that independent test a few years back

You should probably enlighten us as to why before we disregard anything else you ever say as the ramblings of a crazy person

just one of those personal preference things.

havnt heard anything bad about royal purple.

in the missus mazda 3, went from penrite 5-40 everyday full synthetic, to motul 8100x-cess 5-40, and could feel a decent difference by seat of the pants feel.

Fair enough, I like RP because it gets to 500km without any silly oil pressure shenannigans. Every other oil I have used does not. Also in the famous test from a few years back it was the only oil that came out of the 'load up the bearing with 100Lb of force' test with a bearing that would not have resulted in a death rattle.

I used penrite for the first 6 months of owning the car. It was ok but did give me some weird pressure readings. Switched to RP on the qld boys recommendation and have been very happy with it. My only problem is getting my hands on a bottle hence why I have to order it in from the parts shop across the road from work.

hairy muff.

each to their own.

my engine builder has recommended penrite.

I just have to find the right grade.

will be looking at going ten tenths.

hope they dont change their range again.

Exactly right, everyone has their own preference when it comes to oil.

Same here, I get 3000ish ks on Penrite before my pressure goes silly.

They are forever screwing around with the range, but that have something silly like 5W70. I use that in mine when I cant get my hands on the Purp

yeah, builder recommended hpr70, doesnt exist in a full synth.

so, need to start looking.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
