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.

http://www.performancelub.com/index.htm

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:

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
