The mechanics filled the engine oil to just over the "H" on the dipstick but below the indent on the stick its self. After getting the rear main and the gasket's done, I've emptied about 500ml to get the oil level spot on the top of the cross-hatch below the "H' letter. Where abouts do you guys fill it to?

Cheers,

Gavin.

5L of fully synthetic, same quantity as my L28ET & FJ20ET (but different viscosity).

The oil type and quality I'm not worried about, just the level on the dipstick.

I put 4.8L incl filter in to it and it was over the cross-hatch and just over the H aswell. Mine's a 2.5L non-turbo. I think it's got about 4.5L in it now to cover the cross-hatch on the stick. Just wondered why most mechanics always fill the oil to over the cross-hatch and just over the full marker, they must really me back for another $500 rear main job.

I haven't gone fully synthetic as it's already got near 100,000K's and magnatec seems to stick well to the camshaft so I'm happy before I turn on the key for the extra little savings.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
