Hey i'm going to buy some oil from http://performancelub.com/ in about a week and it costs abotu $20 for shipping 5 litres so i figured if anyone wanted to order with me, we might be able to save on shipping a bit.

If you live on the Gold Coast and are keen, let me know and we'll organise a mutual shipping destination or something.

Anyhow if no one needs oil or wants to come in on this (the discount on shipping may well be minimal anyway) no worries, I'll place my order probably friday 13th July monday 9th july

(never mind the numbers below, there's no limit to this, other than i'd like to order by next friday and I can probably only cover a couple of people if need be, otherwise, i'll need cash up front)

Keen person / product / suburb

yeah you gotta buy the 5 separate quarts which is just under 5 litres all told which should be enough for most 'lines i think.

i'm still tossing up between royal purple or mobil 1. i'm running rp at the moment....doesn't really bother me tho, i'm doing my second oil change in 3,000 kms and will do another in another 3,000 when i move to redline after cleaning my engine with the early changes.

i'm thinking you can get whatever oil you want though as its just the shipping that we'll be splitting, so i suppose it's not technically a group buy.

depending on how many people go in, i'm happy to cover the full amount for everybody and have them pay me on pickup/delivery (i live on the goldy but work in the city just fyi if that helps anyone). i mean the worst that could happen is that i've got a heap of brand new oil that cost me less than retail....:S

i'll edit my first post and add a list there, - people that want in, just pm me, let me know what you want and where you live (just the suburb will do) and we'll organise it from there.

i said $20 for shipping 5 litres.

what you pay for each quart depends on what type of oil you want, hence the link to the website with said prices.

if you can find a better price, let me know cos i've looked

royal purple can be got for a similar price to the full price of the oil plus shipping from some autobarns. but they don't actually keep it on stock at most places and if they order it for you, it's $8 delivery. so it ends up being more than performancelub.com anyway, and i'd prefer to support this dude than autobarn.

yeah man, i asked bursons how much for redline (cos they're one of the few places that stock it on the gold coast and was quoted $160 for 4 litres.

seriously check out the "The goods on oils" thread - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=22458

redline is the shiz, but you also pay for quality with this gear. also it will last longer than other oils (good for 7500-10000kms) so it actually works out not as expensive as it initially looks. thats why i'm using the cheaprer (rp or mobil1) to run through my engine for my sub 5000km changes before i start using the redline.

not stirring the pot or anything... but i'd happily go out on a limb and say redline is better than motul. but then again it does cost more, and the benefits....well depends who you talk to i guess - much of a muchness probably. I think, but don't quote me, that redline is the only group V oil you can get, while motul is a group IV.

granted royal purple is not in the same league though. in fact given the lack of info about rp i'm considering just going with mobil1 for my 'flush' oil.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
