Bout to head down to sprints and get some stuff for my first oil change since owning the line.

Will 10w40 be sufficient? Say mobil 1.

Which oil filter should I be looking at.

Cheers!

I use Shell Ultra Helix 05W40, and a Ryco Z145a oil filter. Haven't tried the Mobil stuff, but as long as it is a good weight, it should do the job fine, and you replace it often.

Ok I'm posting this in here, because it's as discreet as I can possibly be.

My agent picked up a genuine R32 GT-R N1 with a genuine 112,000km on it, grade 4. Would work out to roughly $27K landed and complied..

I'm mentioning it because the buyer I had for it is overseas and seems to be stupidly hard to contact at the moment, so if someone wants to get it quick, let me know. I'd love to see it come to SA.

If you've lusted after one, this is probably your one and only chance. Only 228 were ever built, and this is the first one I've seen come available for 7 months.

Damn you Kristian, tempting me like that! Could always scrap the Maxima idea :)

Just to increase the peer pressure on our Skylineless mod & VP of SAUSA...

I found an R32 N1 5 weeks after I bought my grey R32 GTR. And I had bought that one only 6 weeks after buying the white GTR that Dohmar now owns. At the time I said to myself "I can't buy 3 R32 GTRs in 3 months having never even sat in one." Kind of wish I had now.

I think Pete should get it just so I can laugh myself stupid when he steps out of a non airconditioned vehicle after a long drive in ambient temps over 35'c

Comedy gold.

The week before this guy contacted me, I'd seen two go through auction! I was telling him, yeah I've seen a couple go through lately, shouldn't be a problem lol. The hard part is finding N1s in good enough condition to comply - most of them saw track work, so it's unusual to find clean street cars.

Pete I can't find your email address - email me and I'll send them back :thumbsup:

You could get them optioned with a/c and it would be easy to get it fitted once the car was over here.

I'm surprised Kristian hasn't done it to his R34 N1 (he may have since last summer).

      Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
