i used to change mine every 3,000kms or so. when i had my old motor, it was around then that the oil would be black. i'd just check it regularly and if it looked too dirty i would change it.

i used K&N filters which are expensive but they keep the oil cleaner.

i've got a new rebuild now, probably will keep up the 3,000km changes as long as i can afford it, just to try and keep the oil clean, but if the oil can stay cleanish til 5,000kms.

oil is far cheaper than another build, so i dont mind paying $80 for oiland filter regularly. beats paying close to 10k for a rebuild.

well, hearing how many people do theirs at 5000 i'm starting to get worried i've done about 7,500 since i bought the car. it reads top right of my wind screen that it was serviced at 115000 k's and that was a good 6 months ago now... done about 122,000 i think. i'll get onto it in the next week or so. maybe just a full service...

could anyone PM me and tell me what gets done at a service?

is it just oil? or are plugs changed? and oil filter? and what else?

oil, oil filter, spark plugs (copper plugs) and fuel filter (maybe every 10k but if u can afford it do it)

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
