call Harold from performancelub.com. I will PM you details, his place is in Fairfield or similar so not far from you.

Here is his website and products/prices.

He only has good oils, the Castol is both German Castol (0w30) and from the US for the 40wt. I always get redline from him. The M1 is from the US also, all are top shelf.

Everyone should be buying from him anyway cos its shit loads cheaper for the good stuff.

He runs the business fror his home and therefore is always there!

Cheers

hey all

thanks for the help i got some oil sorted -

im a stupid head and didnt realise the local servo would have some oil - shell premium 10w40 just cost me $70 though

for those who want a laugh

brought some new 10w40 turbolight 4100 and i dropped the sump bolt, get rid of the old oil, no worries

ripped off the old oil filter, got the new oil filter, rubbed some oil on the seal and put it onto the engine

little did i realise the old oil seal was still on the engine so when i fitted the new one they both clamped up real tight

it felt like it was going on normally so i thought it was fine - sump bolt back on - filled her up

gave it a crank good oil pressure around 3kgm2 and oil spewing out everywhere - doh!!!!!

so had to drain it all - didnt have a prefectly clean container so had to ditch the new oil didnt want to risk dirt etc

so drained it all out, refitted sump bolt, removed the filter, and lo- and be hold the old seal was there too - woopsies

anyway - an hour later - some frustration and swear but all good

:banana:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
