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.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • 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).
