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 GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
