Did an oil change today and used motul due to it being more readily available here than my regular drop.

Whilst at repco I saw an all synthetic from penrite called SIN. Has anybody had any experience with it. Going by the price it would want to be some good schizzz.

My mechanic would agree with that! He thinks using any penrite product is a sin!!!

HAW HAW HAW!!!

A mechanic I know would say anyhing else is a sin! >_<

He has been trying to blow up his 200 000km stock bottom ended 350awkw GTR for years and cant...he attributes some of his lack of success to this oil!

I used to use Penrite in my first 33....I liked it and it was recommended by quite a few workshops...I reckon this stuff would be pretty good..they seem to know what they're doing...I used Motul in my other cars though...and also found that to be reasonably good.

yep, penrite has had some good history on its side. A few racing cars and been making oil for donkey's years etc....

Tried motul and switched, I've been using the royal purple and really happy with that. Great oil temp and pressure stability, good friction resistant and seems to come upto pressure quicker (than the motul i was using prior). On the skyline I think the royal purple has the history and the creds- especially with hi end gtr's etc. A lot of top jap workshops have used the royal in the past.

That's my pref, for what its worth...

Haha, I think most of the top end oils in fairly stock cars (ie a bit of boost etc) are pretty much the same anyway.

I guess at least the penrite stuff is somewhat Australian.

Redline or royal purple would be my choice but its too darn hard to source here in the switch. :laugh:

I didn't say it was MY opinion, why is it necessary for me to back it up? I was simply stating that many people would prefer other oils over Magnatec in particular.

Oils aint oils?

Anyway i am about to try Mobil 1 5w50 in my car next service.... then im going to try the Motul Semi Synth 5w50 and see what the difference is.. i might also try a Penrite as i put it in my Gf's celica with 200,000 on the clock and it now works a damn treat..

I use to use the semi synth Motul in my silvia and it never had a problem.

Guess i will just see how it goes..

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
