Special mention to Grant from the Wastelands for coming out last night. Can now understand where your coming from when mentioning social interaction. And also nice to meet you and hopefully will again in the future :thumbsup:

+1

cruise ended too early :P

I was up for mt.dande afterwards!

I was behind GTRRKT on the way up. And that was fast enought for me.

But I drive like a grandma :D

Oil temp went up to 125-130c on the run up though. Was getting a little worried...

Your oil weight is too thin.

Go for 10/50 or 10/60 at next oil change and better do it ASAP cos real summer's coming shortly.

Mine is approx 85-95 degrees (factory gauges are useless compared to Nismo units *sighs* more thing I miss...).

Which number is the weight the lower or the higher one? I can't remember?

I run 5w 40 Motul 8100 fully synthetic.

What sort of oil temps should I be worried with the rb25? And what are the consequences on the engine if the oil temp is high?

Just did an oil change :(

Weight is higher.

5 is good for quick warming up. That is what Nissan recommend. 40 is bit too thin for summer climate, I'd go 50 or 60 though.

I went home via the Esplanade again, get held up by Subaru Outback for 4 minutes, aargh! Luckily he/she pulled over to some spot.

Lol I was just cruising up...I had that stock blue S15 in front of me.

My oil temp was only on 86c on the way up.

Cruise up was fast enough for my gf :D

time for an oil cooler? :P

Though about it but it's my daily :/ oil will never warm up driving to the train station lol

Yep, I was hidden in amongst the three white boys I had in my car.

Last night was good fun. Great organising Tony and great turnout.

The only problem is now I want a R34 GTR so I can go fasssssttttteerrrrr...

The uphill was awesome and the drive home was heaps of fun. Great to see the Ae86 starting sideways at the lights...

Fixed for accuracy.

the 50/60 is the protection of the engine or highest operating temp

and i think the 0-15w is the cold operating temp or something like that

I forget, its been a while lol.. but my uncle is a lube specialist at Mobil and has previously said anyone from SAU can call him anytime to ask questions if you like :)

the 'weight' of the oil is for the lower operating temperature, as the other number represents the part of the oil with the higher kinematic viscosity at the same temp

edit: im a dipshit, must read all posts before replying >_>

I think you mean old school Toyota Supra :)

Also I must say that red M3 was fast :ninja:

Indeed. Was chasing him, he can drive that is for sure.

If Michael (miguelone) doesn't slow both of us up, Chris would kill me both in Esplanade and Arthurs Seat.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
