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:

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
