Spark a bit of Satdee' convo because I'm stuck at work...

What oils are you guys running in your cars atm? Due to change the oil in my 200sx whats good and what weights? Standard motor not built.

Also; what must have cars would you have in your garage..

For me, genuine RX3 savanna & neat as f**k hachi roku.

in regards to oil I use RP 10/40 on my GTR, great oil and the ability to use it with any ethanol fuel. only $99 for 5 litres too.

When I was a kid I wanted a Countach or an F40, till I got past the age of 6 and figured out how expensive they were... still wouldn't pass one up if I won the lotto, newer cars be damned.

Growing up in woomera there was a dude who lived close who drove a lime green and black SLR5000.... it was the most impressive thing I'd seen at the time, still got a soft place for toranas. Them and 67-73 mustangs. As well as the AC Shelby Cobra - for looks alone, let alone the power.

Modern Cars? Audi R8 or anything by Pagani. Too bad I ain't a millionaire.

I'd start with an Audi/Porsche RS2, and go from there. If money were no object, it'd find itself parked next to an F40, a Huayra and an Agera.

    • Timing map only tells part of the story, I've seen a few cars where the CAS has been adjusted so you might see 12 at the ECU but at the motor you could be seeing 8 kind of thing. A S15 I converted from PowerFC to Nistune had just that, CAS was turned back to have less timing than the ignition map itself lol... "Choonered".
    • But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?
    • swaybar swaybar swaybar swaybar swaybar anyway OP, what is currently in your car, are they factory shocks and sway bar? Any sign anything else has been changed under there over the years? And as Murray said....what are effect you looking to change
    • Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
