performancelub.com... when i search it on google comes up with 'this site may harm your computer' under the name.. and is listed on google as having software that can harm your computer haha.. can anyone shed some light?

Due to the price of it I've always wondered if the turbolight semi-synthetic is similiar to that of the grpIII synthetics (castrol etc) that are not really synthetics. :thumbsup:

Could be......

I did a scan with my anti-virus and come up with nothing, it's safe going into this site. no problem.

oh, you could email Harold at [email protected] if you have any enquiry, he quite a helpful chap who will try to answer your questions.

Guys, sorry if this has been covered (not going thru 11ty billion pages), I just wanted to get an idea of what people think of Castrol Edge 10w-60?

For a 1990 R32 GTR with ~120k on the dial.

Been recommended to me by a reputable workshop, they use it on heaps of their cars.

Cheers!

Just spoke to Fuel Direct where i got my last lot of Delvac 1, price has gone up from $180 for 3x5L to $230+ delivery.

Also called Motorex in SA (saw that others have ordered from there) and they said they dont sell Mobil anymore, only Valvoline.

Looks like cheapest group IV oil is now Motul 8100 assuming you can still get it for $59. I think ill go have look for that this weekend.

Does anyone know where to get Delvac for around $60/5L anymore? Any good deals in Sydney right now?

Anyone?

:)

maybe we should just do a poll....or something like that.

10w-60 seems like too wide a spread. most recommendations are aound 10w-40, 15w-40 or even 5w-30.

put it this way, how important is the health of your engine? if you don't push your engine all that hard, you should be pretty right with regular run of the mill oils.

however most people agree that fully synthetics are the way to go for hi-power engines that are 'opened up' on a regular basis.

motul chrono and redline are two oils that seem to be trusted by almost everyone, however they're expensive, soooo to answer your question (sorry i work for the govt so i like to run around in circles confusing people before i actually get to the point and even then it probably doesn't actually answer your question but by then you're over it and just nod and say ok and leave) i think i've seen fairly low opinions of castrol edge on this thread. although i THINK (don't quote me) sydney kid uses castrol products on his track car.

or you might want to type the word castrol down in the left corner there

How about Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5w30 oil? would that be better then the Redline 10w40 oil? i pay about 82 dollars for 5 litres of the mobil one, my engine has done around 60 000kms ish so yeah which is the better oil to use?

sorry if it has been covered

Redline is better cos its ester based group 5 oil. Mobile 1 is synthetic too but belongs to group IV as it does not have ester.

Mind you I might try Mobile 1 myself at the next service... i just cant convince to spend over 200 bucks for an oil change when my car does not see the track and is stock.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
