Trip out to the Riff today ( I survived- phew :whistling: )

Came back with this in the back of the Wagon-

7940974378_86c0984f81.jpg

6000 for the Stagea, and 3000 for the Nugget.

Nugget won't know what hit it after doing 100k kms on Castrol Magnashit.

Good prices- $4.47 and $6.83 a litre before GST. Better than $100 a bottle of that purple stuff.

Noice! Check your boot for stowaways...

Do they do a 10W40 SynX 6000? Or is the difference so minor it's not worth worrying about?

I'm running the 5w40 Syn X 6000; it's perfect in ours.

+1

Oem is 7.5-30w, so is just a jump in the other direction to 10w.

Not putting it in for a little while, but will post thoughts when I do.

And if it's good enough to keep scottys motor together after all the abuse, should be fine in my lil tractor.

Carried 30 plastic/steel stackable chairs in the back of mine on Saturday to be transported to my sister's wedding ceremony, and it's the first time in almost 6 years of ownership that someone (other than my old man) has driven my car without me in it.

Forgot to get a photo.

I put a treadmill in the back of mine the other day - needed both front seats as forward as possible to make it fit! But it just squeezed in.

Today I put my partners old work toolbox in the back of the stag since he got a sexy new black Snap-On toolbox for work..

So now we have to remove all stickers and give her a good old high pressure wash off and make it look like its original red..

Had to take the wheels off to fit it... but it fit! :D

Riding low with that in there?

haha not really, My car is almost as stock as they come.. I can't really lower it because all my dogs total about 150kg so if I do, I won't get in the drive way :(

but it did feel nice with the weight in the back :P I will eventually get some sort of suspension but for now money is tied up elsewhere

It's still in there, and it looks like my car is actually HIGHER.. lol

(pardon the bird poop, I haven't washed it since the stag cruise the other day)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
