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.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
