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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
