Update on the oil..

I've found the Castrol 10w60 to be a little too thick.

WOT over 3500rpm now see's 8kg/cm2 on the stock guage. :cheers:

Idle is 3, cruise ~2000rpm is 5. Cold start max's out the guage.

Prior to the castrol i ran motul 8100 5w40.

Idle - Needle over 2, cruise ~2000rpm - 4, WOT over 4000rpm 7 (only just).

It appears to make oil pressure much much more quickly now.. 3500rpm vs 4000rpm to see its peak oil pressure.

I think this is too high personally.

4Door_sleeper, whats yours run at?

lately ive watched quite a number of movies. Movies that ive seen which i can remember of the top of my head include..........

initial d the movie - pretty average

sin city - awesome just awesome. worth the money/watching

the island - quite good

land of the living dead - quite dissapointing actually, although i wasnt expecting much

house of wax - very good

what about others, what have you guys/girls seen lately and what did u think of it?

damn that is a v.nice paint job!

Hey Sam, would you be able to paint my wheel centres in your shed? They are stripping off the chrom lip and the centres, and they should be ready to mask and paint when I get them back. Do you think it would be an easy job? Also, are heatproof paints easy to come by? Otherwise I might just get the entire wheel mirror polished. Pic attached. Also 2 pics attached of what mine would look like polished.

im sure you can do it yourself andrew. go on. there was someone on this forum who did it themselves with a spray can - i bet that put you off straight away didnt it, to his spokes much like what you do to your calipers. But if you want the silky factory coloured look, use a spray gun which i guess sam would be the one to do it. im sure he's still in Adelaide atm.

I actually do have a compressor and spray gun etc .... but have never used them. Maybe I will give it a go myself. I wonder how hard it would be to do shadow chrome - that is what I would really like for the spokes.

    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
