i gotta get some castrol synthetic R 10w-60 and some plugs (possibly plaitnums or iridiums (NGK) for the 33, where's a cheap placew to get them ? i usually get the oil/filter etc from autobarn, oil is usually about $70 and the filter is $9-11, thats fine if there's nowhere else cheaper just thought i'd see if anyone knew somewhere cheaper or somewhere having a special atm, its kinda urgent, i wanna get this service over so i can start fanging the shit outta the car again :P can anyone say calder ?

i get ALL my stuff from supercheap...

filter: $4 (valvoline one is $8 but there's another brand that's got a black and white box and theirs is $4. its just an oil filter and it gets changed every 5000kms so who cares that its not a brand?)

oil: penrite 10w50 for $40

plugs: BCPR6ES NGK copper (don't waste your money on platinums!) $3 each

cheers,

Warren.

Ever heard the saying that a $2 part always caused the problem? :P

5000km is alot for a high strung engine, so you are better off spending the extra $5 for filters like ryco rather than have to spend $2000 on an engine rebuild after using cheap filters and oil

coppers produce a better spark than platinums etc dont they ? but how often do they require changing ? every 20 thou ?

i think ill grab the motul oil and a ryco filter (only $10 who cares dun wanna risk it with the other stuff coz i know these work) and ill go to supercheap and grab some coppers

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
