hks make an oil, i think its 15w40 so that would give us an idea to what redline would be making. changing oil is very important, we just retuned a tx3 turbo only to realise the oil was gone (only bout 3000kms) n it sounded like a tug boat. so we put it up on the hoist, changed it. sounded like gold again moral : change ur oil all the time, its almost as important as insurance btw stirlo i think u hit the nail on the head 0w50 is prob better than 15w50 hmmm wheres sydneykid when u need him?

where would u find the vinyl reinforced pipe? also u got any pics of ur final product?

but the other side of the argument is how much strain a thicker oil will put on an engine compared to a thinner oil obviously an older engine will need thicker oil because it will just blow too much by the rings a thicker oil will put more strain on bearings, piston rings etc. but if ur fine with that then go ahead. i think a balance between the 2 would be more justified. thats prob y nissan suggests using a 7.5w30 oil the 30 being due to the colder conditions in japan tho

franks the reason higher powered cars or circuit cars need higher viscosity oil is due to needed oil to be there when its needed eg when the oil gets damn hot. having a higher viscosity will mean the oil will be there instead of not being there if the oil was too thin generally as far as my knowledge goes, to worry about that u should be looking at the last number, a higher number will give greater protection when its needed u can run something like what IanH has, i did and my car ran like a dog cos it was too thick, would take longer to start and forever to get goin just my thoughts

oh n just change the bearings on the rb30 aswell

jayson i picked up a good rb30 unbored for $100, give that a clean n a little balance if u want n there isnt much else to it, u can sell the extra parts u have left off the rb26 (conrods, crank etc) n ull prob come out on top just keep the oil n water pump off the rb26

nice, looks like u have abs n maybe a boost controller?

just as a note microtechs r car specific eg a s13 turbo m/t wont work in a s14 turbo

that 350 looks awsome side on it sorta looks like a 966

wouldnt a bearing sieze it? btw he should go out n buy a rb30 bottom end, put the forgies in that n have it cleaned up - cheap gains... easy to do while the engine is out

bass how did u find these wanli tyres? ive got a new set of 18s n havent used them yet

what time should u go? n what time do they open? is calder on every friday? also how much $$ to run? ill be down in a week or 2 to run

damn straight leigh u need to change ur heading

no as it is a t25 turbo it is also smaller than the t3 we have on the r33 gtst
