shockproof lightweight is excellent for gear boxes.

My fave for engine is motul 300v 15W50, the turbolite 8000 is good too. I havent seen any over here. It is a bit thicker than mobil 1, which is an advantage with RB25 as it does tend to get a bit of blow by. It also has a very strong detergent action.

300V is around $86 for 5 litres.

An R33 GTS-t will take 5litres of engine oil. Mobil 1 is good stuff, even if somewhat expensive.

Hi Paul

What about the oil company that sponsors SAU? And is good enough for BMW/AUDI/MERCEDES BENZ in Germany?

This particular oil company also supplies oil to Australias Fastest/Most Powerfull Drag car, Approx 8000hp!

Their products are also used in all Porsche Carrera Cup cars. Their 0w/20 Product is used in several V8 supercars!

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
