wowsers. very interesting test.

seems ill try something else next time, royal purple seems the go!

but only a few of the full synthetics seem to actually look different. the rest is all very much the same with a different pretty pattern. funny how some of the cheaper oils are much better than the exy ones of the same brand.

so acording to that if i were to buy penrite it would and could only be the fully Syn....which is funny cause i used all the expensive SIN oils in my box and diff......and they blow. it was a bit nicer for about a month then back to a sticky 1-2 change on cold winter mornings (only the first change or 2). and the noise and feel are back to exactly as they were. will be trying the Redline next time on those.

nice!! decided you needed more to fill your time??

anyone here have a windscreen squirter motor for an R33, mines dead. the rear one works fine so hope fully i can just find the motor for the front one >_<

We needed a motor for the ute so instead of just buying a motor and box we decided it was better to just grab a whole car. Should keep us fairly busy :thumbsup:

Morning Mangs

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(. But last week of work :).

Finished 24 hours of le mans last night, epic. Just nurburgring to go now...

that sounds like an interesting oil you running there smity. hows the oil pressure? im still vary wary of penrite.

I noticed low pressure earlier this week, but to be fair it is quite old and I did accidentally top it up with the oil I use for the XF before happy laps... so that probably didn't help. I changed the oil and filter that arvo (using the penrite SIN again) and it has been all good since then. No issues with pressure other than that.

I am guessing mine is the same as the full synthetic penrite in that, just marketed under the "SIN" branding. Seemed to do pretty good in the test.

I use SIN in the diff - no complaints. Also use SIN brake fluid and it is good too.

Redline LW shockproof for the gearbox, that stuff is magic. Although, Noel, Gervase, and ERD Dan all seem to have had some issues with it forcing its way out of the breather, this has not been a problem for me so far.

Mangs,

That is all.

What a sh*tbox! :P

Yeah it's a heap of shit lol. But it has some gauges and a pretty steering wheel and a brand new loom apparently so should be good. :thumbsup:

Yeah same mang. Trying to achieve as little as possible this week. It's 8:30 and I havent left the office yet. Great success.

    • 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).
