Lol as part of your reliability testing?

i have been running nothing but the best magnatech for a while now

purchased at supercheap ( i did run half a tin of the diesel magnagtech throgh it last oil change as they look the same)

special on this weekend, i think ill stock up

20% off fark yea!

Pretty sure the Brad Penn stuff is fine Mick as forced performance recommend that stuff in their JB turbos and all the evos in the states use it :)

I run the Brad Penn oil, which has ZDDP additives in it, anyone know if that is ok with E85 as I will be tuning on that in 3 weeks

What one Evo person found .

Just changed the oil in my 33 yesterday and again Rotella T6 and a genuine filter .

My Skyline at 125K doesn't burn any and it doesn't come out smelling of ethanol after 6000k .

My take on lube oil is viscosity additives and price . The viscosity relates to cold and running oil temps and oil pressure soon tells you if the viscosity is inadequate . At over 100000 ks I don't expect to have as new bearing clearances so I don't use 30 weight oils .

The right anti wear additives look after the valve train and turbo running surfaces .

I don't think price is a good indicator of lube oil quality so if you find a good oil that isn't expensive - compared to some ....

Oh and by the way T6 significantly reduces the "lifter" , hydraulic rocker pivot actually , tick in my Evo 6 . It was bad at times using Mobil 1 4T Racing 10W40 which is quite high in ZDDP and better IMO than any of the available car M1 oils .

Been using Penrite 10tenths 15W-50 in my 340,000km RB30 pushing 350+ kw for the last 2 years on E85. Its used for daily/drifting and i don't have an oil cooler and at places like QR it cops 2 full days (probably 12ish hours of actual driving) up to 40+deg outside temp and i have never had any oil problems at all. Change it before every drift day and it never looks too bad (classic E85 smells/discolouration)

I know no scientific evidence but i will not run anything else after how well it has treated me for so long.

I use penrite hpr 10w-50 full synthetic .

Penrite says its e85 compatible but recommended that the oil be changed more frequently. They dont specify what frequently is but id say every 3000-5000 km is frequent enough or after a track day.

 

I recently converted to e85 in my r34 gtt, and on the first day the oil already smells like E85.

Car is a daily driver with 360 killerwasps

When i do a oil change ill take a picture.

 

That new nulon racing oil is f**king pricey when you need 10l of it for an oil change.

 

I just buy 4 bottles of Penrite racing when supercrap/repco have their big discounts racq etc. Ducted setrab oil cooler means 10w40 is enough for a 4 /5 lap sprint.

Has Castrol Edge (Supercar Engine Oil 10W-60) changed there formula ? or just relabeled it ? is still safe to use on e85 or should i move to
Penrite 10 TENTHS RACING 15W-50 ?


Has any one used ULX110 ?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
