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.

-D

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).

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
