Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest place for Motul 6100?

I'm currently running Royal Purple, but since converting to E85 figured I'd use cheaper stuff and just increase the change interval.

Thanks.

You should be using oils that are e85 compatible, otherwise the ethanol can dilute your oil and thin it out.

Only one that I know is e85 compatible is Penrite 10 Tenths range. Im sure Royal purple would have something suitable as well but I havent really had a good look around. Atm I'm using the Penrite stuff in mine :)

Yeah that why I was going to increase the interval. I'm pretty sure I read on another thread that a Motul said 6100 was ok (at first reps were saying none of their products were, especially 300v)

RP guarantee compatibility. Maybe I'll just downgrade from XPR to their normal stuff. I'll also look into Penrite.

Thanks guys

So is that Racing 10w40 or do you go 15w50 to allow for some dilution/age of car?

As Steve said, don't under estimate the Nulon range...they do a 6 litre bottle as well.

As far as E85 friendly oils go, it really depends on how tired your engine is.

If you have a tight motor with negligent blow-by, it's not an issue....however, if you do get a lot of blow-by, no oil is safe against E85.....or against any other fuel for that matter.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
