I think I will do the same and finally put some full synth oil in the R

I'll put in the stuff Zane bought, but because it's different to the stuff we used to use I have no idea what it is :closedeyes: I haven't had to pay any attention, it's usually magically already at home when I need it :yes: I have an oil supply fairy, his name is Zane... And if I do go to buy it then he gets it off the shelf and I just pay because otherwise I get distracted and we never leave haha!

Haha well we used to use Motul 4100 Turbolite (at least that's the one I think it was), but then it was hard to get as most places stopped stocking it so changed recently. Which is why I don't know this one :) I think it's a Nulon oil that we have atm but I am pretty sure the next stuff will be Penrite... All I know is this stash has to be used first so Zane will be glad I am doing my oil this weekend so he can buy the Penrite next time :P

Yeah, there are so many and everyone will tell you something different about each one! I remember when I went in to a store in Canberra looking for some of the Motul and the filter I needed, couldn't find it, told them what I wanted then snapped my biscuit because they tried to convince me I was an idiot and it was the wrong oil, they looked at the commodore outside and assumed that's what I wanted it for and I was like you f**king tool it's for my damn skyline now do you have the oil I want or not?

cAndy! The only place I seem to be able to get an x181 is online. Are they that good that I can take the risk without trying one out?

Just googled it. Jeebus! Look at the meat on them!!! It's like the old MRF bats.

I too am a penrite lover. When I can't get royal purple that is.

Turbo lite sux balls

Didn't have any issues with it, until it became difficult to buy.

I went to superlap a few years ago and one of the royal purple promo girls scarred me for life, it was horrible to see... So, so, horrible!!! Should not have worn that outfit and to make matters worse, should not have gone commando in that outfit! I pointed it out to the boys to share the burden and I think they were also scarred for life... The other one on the other hand could have sold it to me if it wasn't for her oompa looma sidekick... That right there is what I am reminded of every time I see royal purple...

Did you just turn the topic onto cricket bats?

that depends - if you keep punching holes through engine blocks no amount of oil is gonna help you :P

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
