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+++

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
