[Rekin]

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

+1

cruise ended too early

I was up for mt.dande afterwards!

[Sunkist]

Only 2?! There was many of them.

im pretty sure it was me and neil... i wasnt driving the GTR...

[Count Grantleyish]

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

But I drive like a grandma

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

[blah_blah]

Pat your hardcore I went home and slept like a baby.

Sanjay was there, he actually works on the level below me in my building lol

[Count Grantleyish]

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.

[KamikazeNinja34]

time for an oil cooler?

[WGNPWR]

beautiful day

to be inside studying >_>

Cruise up was fast enough for my gf

time for an oil cooler?

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.

[Kaz200]

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

[Count Grantleyish]

^^^ Pretty sure its correct.

[WGNPWR]

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

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.
