I was asking a simple question and once again people like you take it out of context. I was not having a go at you, just curious as to why someone would pay for all the expenses of having a high performance car and not use it in that manner.

If you wish to remain civil, I am using BP ultimate and since the car just got complied I have no idea which oil is in her. However, It was complied at a high performance shop and would expect something that is reasonable.

I did actually ask them but cant remember what it was. Apparently they use it for all their cars (they have a few gtr's, supras, 300zx etc)

I checked the oil and filter and both were defintley replaced.

What is the recommnded oil for lines and what sort of price is it?

Thanks

you could use Mobil One which i believe a fair bit of people on the forums use or you could use Redline..which is more expensive but good if u really DRIVE the car...track etc...thats how i would see it

but if u just drive round town like me, mobil one is fine..

And its people like you on the street that give us a bad name. Streets not the place for going fast, go down to wanneroo and thrash it all you like. Unless of course you just redline it till you hit the speed-limit... *chuckle* Just because it was done at a high performance shop, dont expect it to be decent, sometimes things are done on the cheap. Use a good oil like mobil 1 and change it and the filter every 5000km's if you plan on thrashing it all the time. And I use my car in the manner I bought it for, just not all the time... I dont *have* to change at 6000rpm+ everytime to get enjoyment out of my car.

cmon guys, take it to the whoretown thread,

sheesh, am i the only sane peaceful one left here.

okay someone pick on me now so i can put on the SMACK DOWN when i C u at the autosalon

Cmon anyways chill, there isnt always black and white in everything. We really live mostly in the gray areas from day to day and there are dodgy people and really honest people, but its best to just get the car and change everything anyways even though it is added expense IF YOU NEED REASSURANCE if you couldnt care less then drive her till she begs for an oil change. and then dont mention anything like havent changed oil for 20,000kms cos thazz asking for a smack in da head

ahh i love the after midnight logic

i think u got ur car complianced the same place as mine... anyway dont bother changing your oil and filter again, they oil they use is decent. i thrashed mine fairly hard every now and then, and just changed oil and oil filter at 5000km last week, oil still nice viscosity and only a little darker.

ps. be careful in the rain :D

Does anyone know what might cause this?

ALso how many ks do you guys get out of a full tank when driving at a medium to hard level?. Probab only been getting about 250-300 myself

yeh when i got mine in its stockish form it wasn't doing much more than 300 a tank on BP98 and now that it has over 320@the wheels i don't usually get more than 250 from a tank, but then again i like sitting near the red and enjoy thrashing the shit out of it- which is why i bought it and not a pulsar :D but i also agree with rob as its not really the responsible place to do it on the road but hey how can you resist

I use agip oil and it seems to work quite nicely for the abuse my line gets :(

have fun

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
