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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
