Any sn rated oil I'm using what we use at work which is caltex 5-40 full synthetic most new quality oils have a sn rating

And your oil most proberly didn't change cause you will proberly need it in long term to have side effects like 8-10000kms which your car doesn't see before a oil change

Mines the same I change mine every 5000kms

Better safe than sorry especially on a engine you spent big on

Bit of an update.

Done about 500 kms and used upto boost setting two. It has no problems coming out of a second gear corner at 5000 RPM, get on it and turn tyres. Can't wait to try setting 3 :D.

Car is going back to get the shims readjusted after it's cam and retainer change. It seems to have all settled now and it has one or two noisy ones. Bastard! Rear diff is booked into get its rear diff sorted on the 27th.

Wheels have just been finished. Repainted and touched up like brand new :D.

Just heading out now to pick it up. Had the bucket to cam clearences redone as they everything has settled after the springs were changed.

Rear diff goes in Monday. No more three wheel drive GTR when it wants to be!

Who reco's your wheels?

They look very nice

Bought them through Aaron at Import Monster. Took AGES to find a set. He brought them over and got them touched up. I'll find out but they would have been in Melbourne.

Them wheels are awesome. Let me no when u want to sell them ; D

Never. Never for sale :D

What a nightmare this V spec/mechanical diff conversion is. Car is still out there, got the diff in and my shafts are A) too short and B) the bolt pattern on the flanges are different!!!! Why do Nissan make stuff like this all different!!! I've also put in alloy diff bushes. My original ones were flogged out pretty bad. No more diff floating around now!!!!

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
