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

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
