what weight are you running?

10w40 would be the go, Gulf western oils are pretty detergent heavy so running some of that at 5000km intervals should eventually free it up

otherwise you can do what i did to my 31

4 litres of cheapy GW 20w50 (~$13)

2 x Nulon engine oil flush

Dump current oil (save it if you want and put it back in after)

Insert cheap oil + both oil flush bottles

Run for 5 mins at idle, do not drive it!!!

lift the revs to 2-3000 rpm for 20-30 seconds

idle for 5 mins

lift the revs

etc... do it so its running for around 20 mins

dump the flushing oil, change the filter, put new/previous oil back in

party

Nulon make a tappet quieting product

The retail version is different to the one supplied to mechanics tho, if the 31 needs it I go to an ultra tune and ask them to get a bottle in for me, usually works out at about $10 anyway but the bottle says "not for retail sale" or something like that

Glad to hear you got it sorted tho

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
