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).

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
