I usually use motul turbolight oil in my car but I am changing the oil for the tune and I have some penrite hpr15w-60 here and wanting to use this since the oil is just for the tune then the car will be sitting around for 6months so I dont want to go spend 60bux on oil that is basically for one day for tune you rekon this will be alright for the tune?

The 60 is a bit thick I think, I actually used to use that when I first bought the car like 5 years ago but then changed to a 10-50, I actually felt the car become better to drive and I little more responsive (although that could of just been my brain telling me I was making the right choice in oil) haha. The car obviously wont explode or anything but I believe a thinner oil make make it run better on the dyno. But that is my thought. Best to wait for someone to correct/agree with me.

When I ran my car, I found HPR15 to be too thin... Spewed it out breathers everywhere when on boost...

I run HPR30 normally.

yeah we find that the penrite sin stuff does not cut it in these rb engines especially if you give them a hard time.... the oil turns so thin among other things. ive dropped quite a few sumps of penrite out of cars on the dyno and refilled with motul or castrol.

Their HPR GAS and old tech stuff is great in my old 454 big block though....

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
