damm man, you got a gtr and you dont seem to know alot about cars.

i'd assume you just bought the car. :cheers:

a good idea would be to change the oil/oil filter/air filter straight away.

coz you dont know how old the oil is. you dont want to spin a bearing coz of old oil.

for summer i would use 10/40. Amsoil i think is the best going around. Austoseed sells them. for $92

another good brand is Redline. however that is around $139 for 5 litres

go buy some Motul 8100 I think it's 5/50 or 5/40 I can't remember. It's fully synthetic (a good thing) and it's about $70 at Motoquipe. If you get in early you'll score a free Motul cap (hat) :D

I paid $55 for my 8100 5W-40 from Autobarn. I didn't get a free cap, but I don't think it'd be worth the extra $15 anyway :)

yeh ok thanks for taht dude  :D  , nah the reason i got penrite was because image auto parts where the only close place near me besides supercheapo auto . so i just got penrite till i get my modz. so redline it is ?

redline is good but expensive. Mobil 1 super synth is good, so is Motul 8100.

basically use full synthetics.

do a search and you'll have all the answers you need. (PS. there's a thread in the vic section about oils)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
