Hey. Just a few questions, I think its about time to do a service on my 33. It's the first service it will have had since ive owned it and so I just want to ask about what oils you guys swear by and what plugs would be best to use in a stock 93 GTST. Im planing on changing the engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant and brake fluid.If ive left anything out let me know :) I'm not the best at mechanical things but between me and a mechanic friend and little help from you guys i'm sure I can muddle through it

And yes I know theres a maintenance section but I just want to hear what some other victorians have got to add to it all :P

i use:

oil: penrite HPR10 (10w50)

coolant: anyhting thats anti-freeze/anti-boil and at 50:50 ratio with water

plugs: NGK coppers BCPR6ES (coppers are fine at $3 each and change them every 10,000kms or so)

i agree with all that except oil, i use OWS or Castrol 10w-60

than again a 33 and 32 are much different age-wise, would the japs have used synthetic oils on 32s ? as its REAL bad i heard to use synthetic in an engine that has previously used non-sythetic

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
