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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
