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

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
