i use the sougi, its a 10w40 im pretty sure..

he has the 32R brakes. you will need an adaptor sleeve to fit these. but he is upgrading to the 34R brembos soon, which bolt straight on to the fronts. so far the only bolt on for the rear i know about is the 350z brembos.

Thanks for clearing that up Scotty it all makes sense now. :rolleyes:

Do you think that nissans 7-30w oil is good choice, whats everyone else using?

I know 300v is best which I use in gtr but 90 for 4 lt is a bit rough for frequent oil change.

nissan is 55 bucks for 5 lt.

Cheers

300v will last you 10,000kms before you need to change it (just get a good filter).

Nissan's oil is a mineral base. Unsatisfactory in this day and age IMO.

you can get Greddy filters from Autobarn at about $20 i think

Synthetic filter with a Magnet.

saves gettin em online through ebay etc..

That's not bad! I used a Ryco Z445 for my last oil change and that was $18 from SuperCrap...

Will be getting the Greddy from now...

yeh they are the same size as stock aswell. especially if your doing 10,000k changes, they will definitely last the extra 5k.

if your doing 5000k changes, ryco is fine. jus whack a magnet on it lol. it works suprisingly

lol... I don't think it is the same thing mate, you need to take into account the flow pattern of the filter so sticking a magnet "anywhere" is not that great an idea IMO

The reason the PE/HKS/Greddy magnets are the size/shape and positioned where they are is so the oil flows over and around the magnet with as little disruption as possible and without the chance of clogging up one area of the filter.

:teehee:

yeh lol so a magnet right on the end of the filter

it used to work on the integra.. didnt clog anything. theyre magnets actually designed to go out the end of the filter.. comes with like 10 of em incase you lose one driving around haha

i wouldnt do it anymore. but hearing abit of metal(the magnet) hit the floor would scare the shit out of me.. lol

lol... not to worry, just pay a king's ransom for some 300v and run it for 10,000kms.

interesting fact: I got hold of the GW 'oil engineers' and was told that the SynX stuff is ethanol tolerant. you wont notice more that a 1kw difference, only downside is sougi 10,000k changes, and synx will need 5,000k.

fact that its mineral/synthetic mixture is abit of a ehhh, but at 5,000k changes wouldnt cause problems right?

You should be okay with a semi for 5000kms.... BUT considering the power level and previous issues with turbo failure, why would you skimp on the life blood of your engine?

Oh, and oil is not there to extract power from your engine, it is there to lubricate and clean.

Whom have you been talking to that measure how good an oil is by the kw +/-???

no i meant as in maybe 1kw less.. as its quality isnt up there with sougi..

im not using it, just voicing what i was told. im really dreading the day i have to go back to buying $120 worth of 300v, or whatever the rediculously stupid price is.

Yeah, well the GW "oil engineer" recommended a 20w50 mineral oil for my 170hp GSXR1000; rolleyes.gif

Worst. Oil. EVER.

I argued the toss with him, as I was face to face in their head office in Penrith, and he assured me HEAPS of other GSXR owners were using it, and loved it.

Well either they, or him are stupid wankers. Bike wouldn't idle, wouldn't rev out; felt about 30hp down.

Threw that shit away, never again.

Silkolene 10w40 full synth; back to normal. Bad advice; shit oil.

oh.

well not using that then lol

Same guy recommended a 20w50 mineral for my Stagea; actively tried to steer me away from Sougi, even after I specifically asked for it.

Tried to feed me all manner of bunkum about how a mineral was WAAAY better for my situation than a Semi or even Full Synth. Explained the engine, and the fact it was turboed, told him that cost wasn't an issue but he still pushed it.

I asked if he was a salesman, but he assured me he was one of their engineering staff.

maybe they got theyre engineers degree, by engineering their way through the maze on the back of a coco pops box lol

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
