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.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
