Hi all,

I work for a lubricant company and have come across an excellent synthetic motor oil (Prolube Syntegra Multi v 5W30) I am trying to get the best possible price from Prolube and was interested to see if anyone else would be interested in obtaining some if i get a good price. And before a Mod shuts this thread down I am not doing this for profit will pass on the oil at my cost price just trying to help out fellow skyline drivers. If anyone interested let me know and i will get prices. You can check out Prolube on the web, they are a local brisbane company.

Cheers

David

Hi mate,

Was using Fuchs but when we changed supplier at work to Prolube i got some of this syntegra to try and it seems great, i spoke to the sales rep before i got some and he explained to me that prolube only use class/grade 4 base oil and it is a fully synthetic oil so it sounds the goods and seems to perform well

Shane it is cheap because they are a small local company competing against the big boys.

Benno i am at Carole park.

For those on the northside you can go directly to prolube in brendale and quote the retail price i mentioned and ask for Les.

Bit quick to stop offering it...

I have not said anything against your offer or Prolube, merely that I will not use it, nor will my mechanic and I have kept it to PM. I understand that Prolube is an Aust and local company, so maybe let people know where it is made etc etc etc and a bit more background and really why your work is using it.

Don't blame the messenger.

mate it's better to hear people's personal experiences with a product like this, caus if we started using it, and people started seeing spun bearings, i'm sure you wouldnt like to have the finger pointed you.

your quick response to decline the offer to fellow skyline owners seems a little suspect.

not at all i withdrew the offer quickly because as always someone needs to question a legitimate offer i provided the name of the company and pricing if anyone was unsure they could of contacted prolube directly. I dont need to justify the use of the oil it is a personal choice i simply made an offer to save people some money but wont do it because of doubting thomases so feel free to contact prolube yourself their retail price is still excellent and talk to the reps about the quality and make up your own mind cheers

Just jumping in before it gets out of hand :P

black33gtst - please don't be deterred because you have met some resistance, there is clearly some interest in your offer. If people are interested in the product they'll verify its quality and, as you say, "make up their own mind" on whether or not to use it anyway.

Bobjones has just as much right to have a negative opinion of a product as you do to have a positive one, and he's done the right thing by the community by sharing an experience with a product others may be considering, and has abided by the rules in keeping negative details to PM.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
