Any brand will work fine, some just last longer than others. I still believe you are better off using a cheaper ($50) oil and changing it every 5k rather than spending twice that and trying to strin

Royal Purple 10W-50, warm it between your hands for a few seconds then apply it to the area at the base of your shaft between your balls ..about as valid as any other opinion in this thread

F1 still use monograde 10 weight oils, hence the need to get the engine warm before starting it. Nothing stone age about it...

Can anyone see any dramas buying / running this product. Parallel import from the USA. Does it make any difference?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mobil-1-Engine-Oil-...=item27aff2f3e1

Autobarn etc pricing is $95 for 5l and this stuff is $65 (plus freight) for 5.68l. The only (non technical) down side I can see is the packaging not being in litres to slightly harder to know what's gone in - I'm really scratching for problems now....

Advice?

I just put in the sougi s5000 this arvo, didn't change the filter though, was too lazy, will change the filter next service..

With the previous oil, when i ran the car, it didn't sound good, revving above 5.5krpm sounded rough..

With the new oil, i did some revving in neutral, nice and smooth, i like it, for under 50bucks, its a damn good oil, and at this price, i can change it every 4000kms. Driving around felt nice and smooth, but the exhaust was a tad louder...

LOL freighting a single bottle of oil from the USA is going to cost like $100

edit: oh wait it is local, in that case I cant see any issues.

looks dodgy as hell that listing on ebay! looks like the inside of a shipping container

probably is, but how else does the oil get here?

Worry not as in the end I bought from performancelub.com. Same product and pretty much the same price, just a more forum-known seller. Plenty of feedback on the eBay seller too though.

Is there any reason as to why this would not be suitable for a car? It looks like it's aimed at motorcycles, but it isn't specifically for wet clutch or integrated gearbox....just a 4-stroke. It's 10w40, so it would be great as I'm after a 10w40 oil. Thoughts?

Most bikes have a wet clutch, what this means is the clutch shares the engine oil. Bike oils don't have any friction modifiers in them, otherwise if you put normal car oil in the clutch would be too slippery and never grip.

Wouldn't have anything to do with him putting two zillion PSI through it ?? nah that wouldn't count :banana:

Changed my oil in my 08 wrx (35,000ks). Used motul 300v 5w30 power racing, $60 for 2 litres (lucky my car only uses 4, unlike the gtr which used close to 6 with alll the external lines and coolers, cans etc). Very happy with the results. The car seems to rev easier, sound quiter and accelerate smoother. Who would have thought such a difference could have come from using a better oil. To be fair though, the Subaru service centre were using a 5w30 semi castrol, so one would expect such a difference.

Hey there,

just offering some feedback as i recently purchased some Redline ATF from this guys and it's legit, for the same price as Harold's @ performancelub.com

plus he also stocks 1 Gallon variants of the entire Redline Range as performancelub.com only offers the 1L quart bottles

I chose to pick up from him, but shipping is under $10 up to 25kg, so for NSWelshmen its great if u want to save money by picking up rather than getting it posted

he's a decent guy, service and price was good so its hard to choose other wise if you're after Redline, Mobil or Shell fluids. He also stocks Mobil oil filters and NGK sparkplugs

Here are his details,

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
