Just do multiple oil and filter changes within a few kms, like a day's worth of driving, or around the block of eachother. Depends if u wanna do 2 oil changes in a day or not. haha. Also stay away from "engine oil flush" additives...rumor has it they no good for the motor. Have fun.

correct me if im wrong but from what i have read, having black oil is good.. it means its actually doing its job.. alot of the good oil have additives that clean ur engine so it would be suspended in oil for your next service.. having clean looking oil doesnt necessarily mean clean engine etc.. 2c worth

The only reason why people would get shitty about using an engine flush is that when they are used, they will remove a lot of carbon buildup on the piston rings, which in some cases is the only thing that is sealing the compression of the motor from worn rings. They're actually quite effective.

Drop your oil. Fill it with new oil, run it in with an engine flush and then drop it again, if its doing its job properly it will be black as. So that when you fill it once more it should be fine

Mate best way is to use engine flush then drop oil

and maybe repeat process once if fussy depends

on how badly fouled it is inside the engine.With my

car I change it every 3000km and after every track

day with out fail.This is a must if you want a good

reliable engine, oil is cheap rebuilds are expensive.

I have personally seen cam sharfts snap in 2 through

lack of oil changes.Always use full synthetic oil and

you can repeat your engine flush every time you change

your oil just to be safe in get it back to square one.My

oil after 3000km is just starting to lose its colour,you

have to remember that these cars see alot of revs

and take a huge amount of heat.Hope this helps

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
