Hi Guys,

I saw a group buy post for redline oil and was considering getting some for my GTST (I use it in the GTR and it's great). Group buys are good but I wanted to make sure I was getting the best deal as generally it's pay up front then wait, wait, wait so the saving needs to be good to make it worth while. It turns out I can get a better deal here for us in sydney. Unique Autosports a long time SAU supporter has agreed to do a group buy price for us of $90 per bottle of Redline Lightweight Shockproof (as used in the UAS 300ZX, stock gearbox, 400++kw, slicks, still working after years of punishing on track!)

Now the details are:

company providing the product: UAS

product: redline lightweight shockproof oil, 3.785 litre bottle

quantity: need 10 people, if we get more may be able to get a further discount

close date: Friday 28/7/06

Price: $90

retail: ~$135 (depends where you go)

collection from: Unique Autosports, Castle Hill Sydney (open monday-saturday)

postage cost: $15 local NSW $20 rest of AUS.

UAS have plenty in stock and can get more fairly quickly. If you are interested please post the following information here:

what you want

whether pickup or post

where you are (state, city, postcode)

NOTE: I didnt want to step on anyones toes, but i always thought group buys are supposed to be primarily for the benefit of the members so I just wanted us to get the best deal. I understand the other group buy guy was helping us out and furthering his friends business at the same time which is cool but I just dont think the price was that good considering there is a 4 week wait. But if you are in perth or places far from NSW the other group buy may work out a few $$ cheaper, but with a much longer wait. The beauty of this one is no long waiting perioid and for sydney guys it's very cheap if you are willing to pick-up.

They may also be able to do other types of redline product if there is enough interest, but for all manual skylines this stuff is the absolute best. It's very worthwhile.

Also, for those who dont want to get your hands dirty and your driveway messy UAS can do the oil change for you. With a booking first of course. I will confirm tomorrow with UAS on the labour cost of that.

no worries. Pretty sure 1 will do the box, but i'll check with the workshop manual. adam, for your box you will need ATF though, or is there something i don't know :D:P

any idea if a bottle will fill an R32 GTS-t box?

i'm pretty sure it will, but i'm at work, and don't have the ability to research those facts here :)

put me down as being interested in this, would have to be posted to Brisbane

I'll check again tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure 1 bottle is enough, it's either that or you will need one big one (3.8l) and one small one.

postage to brisbane is no problem.

hi guys, i've spoken to john and they can do the oil change for you for $40. this includes draining the old oil, refilling with the new stuff and the displosal of your old stuff. of course if you want them to change it please ring and make a booking first, but it should be pretty much while you wait.

Ok folks as of next week I'll conclude what we call phase 1. This will mean any of you dudes that want your oil now can either pick it up, or have it posted to you. I have gathered a few other dudes i know together so we will have enough people.

sorry mate!

ok guys, to make payment and get your oil simply go to:

http://www.nismo.com.au/order_form.htm and fill out the order form and follow the payment details. Please put on your order "Beer Baron group buy" or "SAU group buy" so they know to charge you the correct price etc. All the details on price etc are in the first post. Please post up here when you have placed your order.

Thanks. :P

Don't worry about it, I need it tomorrow so i'm going to have to fork out and get it at $135

Hi mate,

If you are in Sydney you can pick it up straight away. no need to wait. Just rock in there and tell them you are from the Beer Baron group buy :wave: If interstate it could be a problem though!

All you other guys try and get your orders in. The sooner the better as it's much nicer if we can get the orders in over a shorter period :D

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
