But you'd be changing the filter without changing the oil... would you really want to do that?

Yeah I know, that's the weird thing about it! I'm not sure. I just like the feeling of changing the filter AND the oil at the same time. Kind of like changing your jocks AND your socks...

More expensive than what? $65 is about half what I paid for Motul... Platinum seems to be around the same price, maybe slightly cheaper.

Just more expensive than a normal synthetic.

$65 is reasonable enough for me. Might order some soon.

Here goes the oil war...

It isn't more expensive than a 100% synthetic. But it is more expensive than a 'full' synthetic (which I think only has to be 70% synthetic).

Ahh ok, so that is the big difference between the Neo Gold and Platinum? Gold is a "full synthetic" while Platinum is a 100% synthetic?

No idea. Ask Craig or Cam. Craig loves the Platinum and Cam is an oil geek.

I can't find enough concrete information on the NEO oils, except for the info on the can, which I find weird...

I am running Nismo competition oil (which is made by Motul) just because I got it at a good price but was planning to run Motul anyway. I am getting the oil tested at regular intervals and plan to keep it in the car as long as the tests show its ok but will change the oil filter more frequently. I will be running an thermostatically controlled oil cooler and will monitor oil pressures and temperatures. But at the next change I will try the top Agip oil which is also a fully synthetic oil and do the same monitoring as it is half the price of the Motul. If it doesn't match tne Motul in every respect I will stick with the Motul.

Jayzus! That would surely have been worth a photo!:whistling:

Others have asked about it; what joints did you end up using, and have you added it to the C34 info?:thumbsup:

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
