yes, a coopers filter

Jst wanna say that 2-3days now and the oil pressure is perfect only a second after startup (even cold) compared to the drift filters 2-3seconds.

Ill try knn and/or greddy next time as well, but until the ill stick with my 'coopers' for 7bux

I know my car and the engine feels much more smooth when it wants to rev up..

About half way down the page.

Hey,

Which site are you quoting there? Could definitely use that more detailed info to go into the oil sticky thread, the summary page is a little short of detail at the moment....could do with a detailed second post or similar...

problem with the real cheap filters can be that the insides of them colapse, or they just don't filter as fine. I have the Drift one in and don't have the issues with the pressure that Johnny has. Also the magnet in there adds that little bit of piece of mind.

Each to their own I guess though. Use what ever you think works best with your car :blink:

Interesting i did a wear check ages ago on a customers engine when testing the drift/ coopers/ kn filters and the drift came up with a far better filtration /vs startup pressure. i wonder if you were unlucky and got a "bad" one. Ive used nearly 75 odd drift filters now with zero issues and only warrant my "built" engines if they are used at every service.

Its funny as i just had to swap over a ryco Z411 (i didnt have a drift one left and could not get one there and then) on a customers Jzx100 as it was doing the same thing... fitted a drift one and problem fixed..... i think there is always a chance of getting a "problem" filter no matter the brand.

I always use 8100 in my 33, but think i might change to the Chrono. Use the DRIFT filters too and never had a problem, always slightly fill and soak the filter before i put it on.

You think Motul would give us shares or something with how many times they've been mentioned in this thread!

Hmmm it was really weird man, i was quite excited at the drift filter with the magnet and locknut at the top for easy fitting and removal but the oil pressure thing really got to me......i hope that it was only a bad one but i dont want to risk my engine on trial and error filters which may be good or bad.

Ive always bought heaps of drift gear in the past and everthing has broken: Gauges etc

Just to say that its not just a misunderstanding, creatd ms even told me it took too long for the light to turn off.

Im glad you've used over 75 now without issue but i just cant risk it again, knn or greddy for me in future.

Just finished putting in motul 300v chrono!

Picked up a couple of bottles from Status Tuning.

The engine idles so smoothly and quietly now! Cant hear anything, well worth the money.

Status Tuning is having a group buy for 300v (only for victoria), have a look in the groupbuy section; i think they selling for $89 for 4ltrs

I did my first (on this car) oil change on my R33 GTSt today and used Motul 8100 5-40 and a Drift magnetic filter as recommended in this here thread. Now my oil pressure is a little lower than it was previous to the oil change.

Can anybody confirm if the below (lifted from skylineowners.com) is correct (I searched this forum to no avail)?

If so, then I don't have a problem now and it just means my oil pressure was a little on the high side before.

According to the manual (in kg/cm2 same as the dash gauge) they are:-

RB20E is 1.0 at idle, 3.8@2000RPM and 4.8@6000RPM

RB25DE is 1.0 at idle, 3.3@2000RPM and 5.3@6000RPM

RB25DET is 1.0 at idle, 3.5@2000RPM and 5.6@6000RPM

RB26DETT is 1.5 at idle, 3.0@2000RPM and 4.6@6000RPM

The oil you had in it was probably thicker than the 8100 you put in (and probably old). It will be fine. Climate and viscosity's of oils will affect oil pressures, don't worry about what the manual says.

Some good news on the Mobil oil front - for those in Sydney .

There is a place at Legarno in southern Sydney that is planning to stock bulk supplies of Mobil 4T 15W50 synthetic and that's great news for me .

In time you should be able to rock up there with a clean oil container and buy 5 liters or whatever of this direct from I expect 44 gal drums .

Normally you can only buy this oil , if you can find it , in 4 or 1 liter containers which isn't price friendly for car use .

People I trust tell me that HRT used to use this stuff in their V8's and I think Porka specify it as well in some cases .

Stay tuned in a couple of weeks , cheers Adrian .

15w50 = too thick for a street car

i get all the fluids i need from...

www.performancelub.com - surpised it's not more well known.

where to people get their UOA's done and how much?

if that's edge sport, then it's even worse at it's not even synthetic. If you car saw the track all the time, maybe, but 10w60 is silly for the street.

I change between 0w30 and 5w30, 85K car with no changes to oil cooling (Most likely more) - You buy a real good oil like, Motul 300V, Redline, etc.. you choose a nice close number (the larger the difference, the more the oil is compromised from the start, to a small extent) For a street car where do you want the most protection? At start up and cold temps. So why run something as thick as 15w50? Oil theories have changed a lot since our cars were made and it doesn't mean we can't take advantages of those advances even if our cars are on the older side.

if anyone needs motul chrono 300V in syd I'm doing a group buy. and I'll even do 5 ltire lots of it too if you bring a container so you don't have to buy 6 or 8 litre like usual. prices are very good, a little better than the vic buy even I think. :D thread will be up shortly, but if you're in need send me pm.

hi was wondering who ever runs e85 have you changed you oil to a thicker oil since it thinins it out. or keep t the same?? would it make much difference

Who told U that?

Petrol thins out oil if diluted in much the same way. I'm not sure of the boiling points of both but I know they're both lower than water.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
