Changed SkyWagz' Diff Oil. The old was OLD! and definately a little low.

Nulon SAE 90 took it's place. (glad I bought a 4L bottle when I did the 33) :)

I wonder if the diff will whine a little less now? I'll let you know. ;)

Spent alot of time (Fiddly F**ker!!!) replacing upper and lower trailing arm bushes on the Wagz today.

Old ones were fairly goosed so Nolathane went in.

Was going to do the Panhard rod bushes too but meh... I'm over it. Another day.

Feels alot more solid and steady in the rear and yes the Diff Whine is still there but definitely better since the oil change yesterday.

Guess the new bushes may not help with the whine though. :rolleyes:

Rob,

Squirt in 60-80 mls of Pro-ma. Must be someone in CBR sells it.

magic stuff (unless it's a LSD then not a good idea)

This stuff? --->> http://www.fueloiltreatments.com.au/technical/MBL8_oil_additive.html

Sounds pretty good. Thanks Scott. :thumbsup:

I may try some Nulon G70 --->> http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Specialty_Products/Manual_Gearbox_and_Diff_Treatment/#.U28voIGSyuk

but The Nulon oil I've put in is definitely an improvement. It actually sounded a little bit better again today.

I put nulon g70 in my transmission a little while ago and it definitely reduced some of the cold 2nd gear crunch.

Realised after putting it in that I'd only put in half the amount I was supposed too as well. I presume it would only be better with the correct ratio

I got that result ^^^ in the 33 just by putting in Nulon Gbox oil.

Haven't tried the G70 in the 33 Gbox or Diff yet.

Today I resoldered a dodge connection on the Drivers Front Speaker in the Wagz and put the charger on the 33's battery for some love.

Pulled the Whole Steering column out of the Wagz today and replaced the old Bushing with a Fresh SuperPro Bush.

Steering is much more direct. :thumbsup:

Found where the Immobiliser unit is hidden, tightened up the accelerator pedal bracket as it was quite loose and took some Slack out of the cable with a couple of Zip Ties. :)

Also hit the Grey Interior Rearview mirror with some Black as I did on the 33.

Much Nicer.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
