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.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
