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.

    • 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  
    • 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.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
