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.

whooah! why you spending $200?? redline from performancelub should be around the $100 mark delivered for 5 quarts.

Hey thanks for that.

Redline Synthetic Oil 5w-40 from performanceclub.com is about 17 bucks per 950 ML. So thats 6 * 17 which is around 114 dollars. How much is the delivery charge from them as it does not say?

Cheers!

Why don't you just ask Harold from performancelub.com about the shipping charge?

^^yep yep he links to the aussie post calculator, but will give you a proper quote quick smart if you email him the order.

how come you're getting 6 quarts tho??? i doubt a skyline would need 6 to be honest. even with a filter change

Dont we need 5 litres of oil for the engine? So if you only buy 5 * 0.950 ML thats like 4.75 litres. Is that enough or do we need 5 litres exactly?

Also if the car is stock, sees no track and seldomly gets floored on the streets, can I just service it every 10,000 KMs?

hmmm today i went into Auto one and i also read the oil review that was attatched to this topic...mmm the guy was telling me that Penrite Synthetic "SIN" 5 5w60 is way better then the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5w30? and also the oil review also had better results from the Penrite...im talking about the one that was using the bearings and showing the marks etc etc....so the question is keep using MOBIL 1 or try Penrite? any help would be sweet :D

dont care which gay test results some shows you, M1 is better oil. Get it and you will be happy.

which one tho? the M1 5w30 or the 0w40? :D

Cheers

depends on how you feel. Generally people have been going with the 0W40. In asutarlia we are scared of "thin" oils. If its for street use, thin is great to reduce startup wear. However if ur gonna see some track 40-50 weight be better. Generally for a mixture of booting it around racing excels and honda accords, 0W40 would be fine (M1 of course...)

hey everyone, read about 90% of this thread, but still having troubles gettin my head around oils and fluids, so i was wondering if anyone can help me out as im going down to autobarn later today to get evrything, i drive an rb20det r32 1993 done just 120,000 clicks, i use the car the putt around in but i do give it some every now and then and plans for hitting the track in the future as well,

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
