Got a message from a mate that there is going to be 60 cops coming over from Victoria (great swine flu) this thursday for a 2 week blitz in Adelaide.

Donno what the blitz is on but I'm guessing it's going to be everything. Just a warning :blink:

Are they bringing over equipment/cars etc for 60 cops? Are those cars being driven over ... doubt SA has extra cars for 60 cops not employed by the SA Govt. 60 families missing their partners for 2 weeks. Who's paying them? Vic Govt going to pay 60 cops to work in SA?

I find it hard to believe :P

In any case, I have nothing to worry about.

it beats most comoodores on the street let me tell ya that! :blink:

Sv8's are really underestimated, less weight but same suspension and drive train as their SS brothers. I almost picked up an ex-police executive 2yrs back, stock looking exec with 6ltr ! :P

6ltr ay? must of been the ex-cop ones that had them. mines only gen3.... 6 spd. etc,.

only thing i dont like it doesnt have cruise or leather.. but the power makes up for it :blink:

I just drained 7.5K Km old Motul 8100 and it looked relatively good other than it's dark appearance, no sludge. Just replaced filter and put in some 10/40 300V chrono, didn't do a flush as I don't think it's necessary... yet :P

I'd rather the oil look dirty... at least then you know it's doing it's job.

Yeah last of the VZ exec cop packs, most went to NSW and VIC. pretty sure the VY SV8's were about 70-100kg lighter than an SS, maily due to the lower spec trim and less sound deadning.

As for oils.. Still..

Make sure you flush is if your going from Synthetic to Mineral or the other way round as you can't mix the two. It causes a chemical reaction and is not good!

Also, go to Big W for Castrol EDGE it was $56 bucks last week! :P

Ruby please change your avatar. I'm soooo sick of that homo comic male thrusting his groin on my screen that I skip all your posts and the ones directly above and below it.

It's worse than the blue mesh... at least I don't see that in my own home.

I guess you could say that the oil being dark might be because it's dirty. I was always under the impression that oil was used in engines ect ect as a lubricant rather than a cleanser :P

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
