First of all Welcome to SAU...

Both these oils are one of the best on the market, however Red Line in my opinion and the opinion of other mech/tuners I have spoken to, is over priced and not nearly as good as RP...

I just bought a 5L jug of RP 10W40 for my oil change and have found them at the following outlets:

Peps Auto - $75

Autobarn - $89 (will price match)

Your onto the hi end synthetics there >_<. I run the Redline System right through and it has been Excellent. Car runs slightly lower temps under same conditions.

At about 135 dollars from Bursons for 5 litres because of odd size imperial packaging you need to think about it though.

For a skyline you need 1 x 4litre pack and a 1 x 1 litre pack.

Hi Bro,

I know I could get Redline from burson for about $27.00/quart. Me find it rather expensive, so trying to find out from experience forumers if they knew of any other supplier that could supply at a lower price, or the lowest price. Tryin to get a bang for my bucks.

Thank you for your feedback & help. Cheers !

redline is a better oil than royal purple it is composed of a more expensive base which partially explains its more expensive price. it is the best oil you can buy. search for the goods on oils thread for more info, but i would say that you can get a similar performance oil to royal purple for less money.

HOw about Kendall Racing oil? It is made from pure Pensylvanian Crude and is one of the best oils around. There is actually a warning on the packaging stating that it must not be used to run an engine in as the engine wont run in due to the oil having such good lubricating properties.

Kendall is made by Conoco, pretty cheap and good. Mostly group III oil though.

Ok guys... this morning i put some Royal Purple 10W40 with a new cooper oil filter and this is what i have noticed after 100km/s of driving:

- Car idles MUCH smoother and quieter than when using Castrol R and Nuon (comparing to when oil was first changed with both brands)

- Car warms up much quicker on cold starts than before

- Car starts quicker and easier

- Exhaust note on idle is more deep and is not lumpy/poppy anymore

- Acceleration feels 100 times smoother and responsive than Casrtol R and Nulon

In conclusion, I recommend RP for any RB motor.. over any other oil i have ever used!

ROYAL PURPLE

A+++

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
