Quick question guys, need to do my gearbox oil.

Was thinking of getting some Nulon semi-synth from SCA or something, any recommendation?

Birds hook a brother up! Saw that you were an expert years ago in the gearbox oil thread.

Nulon never sat well in our oil thread. People complained it made their valvetrains noisy.

Get a 10w40 or 5w40 full synthetic. These full synthetics have a drain life of 7,500-10,000km depending on use, so extra cost negated by less frequent change. But they have better additive packages. Brand isn't too important, but I'd probably stay away from Castrol, Nulon and Mobil 1. Motul Gulf Western Penrite Redline Elf Royal Purple are where it's at.

Yep, straight 3 inch pipe ftw. Surprisingly quiet.

Lol. I'm quite surprised he didn't just drive off once the exhaust was removed. I remember he came to your house without an exhaust from the turbo lol

Chuck in a better engine or a turbo, i'd be up there in the high 30's to low 40s with the s2000's :D

Wonder what my 32 would do..

Have to learn a whole different car when its done :/

Ill see you brahs on the track soon,jpg

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
