The first round is complete!! You'll notice a lot of merged and migrated forums. I havent touched Australia yet and theres some others I haven't made a decision on. Any feedback welcome. -
Welcome! Are you going to maintain it yourself?

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
PranK replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Nah just send me a photo or a drawing and I'll tell you which is better. It's a new SAU service. -
Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
PranK replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
You both need to run those mowers side by side for 10 years straight and report on oil and intervals condition. -

This has already started. Its going to take some time so we can continue to discuss in here as I get stuff done. The R35 GTR For Sale and WTB sections are now gone. I have tagged the topics with migrate-from-277-r35-gt-r-wtb and migrate-from-276-r35-gt-r-for-sale. I'm keeping a spreadsheet which I'll share at the end. If we think we made a mistake the tags will allow us to further refine the setup. -
I haven't done any of these for ages, I've been on ACC. I'll give it a go. No chance of gold for me though.

I like this, but .. I dont think 4 doors and wagoneers need their own section. I am going to be really increasing the amount of tags used in content and we can always add a 'wagon' or 'sedan' tag to existing content. Given the clubs and their activity on the forums over the years I do think the Aussie states need subsections, but maybe we do some merging - ACT and NSW, VIC & TAS, QLD and NT ? or WA & NT? I'm not sure it's intentional Shan, but are you suggesting off topic goes to the bottom? -
Der its not even a 4 door. 🤣

Yeah, watched some of my over-funded Youtubers doing their own alignments with all sorts of crazy equipment and corner scales. Was cool but shit loads of work, I'm happy with somebody else doing it so long as I can get there without eating my own tyres. That said, I do have a garage and once I clear some space from moving in (we've been here 3 years this week) I'll have the car in there on a level ground and may even invest in some quick jacks.

Welcome! S13 with an RB20 is a classic swap. Especially with you guys getting the KA24. We got no variants of the S13 in Australia so you're already better off than us. Galant VR4 is super cool too. Another of my fave 90's JDM cars. Any pics?
-
Thanks guys, I wasn't trying to dial in any kind of accurate alignment, I was just trying to stop my guard from shaving my tyre. Can't tell you how often I visually compare each side of my car. Few motorsport joints in Brookvale, I'll head down there.

So I got some fresh Kuhmo 275's on the back to replace the crap that came on this set of wheels and put them on with the front street'ers too. But man I was getting crazy rubbage on the rear passenger side which is odd as the previous crap was 275 also and was on there before I added my extra camber. The semi's are also a *fat* 265 and had no rubbing. I noticed that the camber left and right was pretty different. Very little on the passenger side. My magnetic camber tester on uneven ground showed roughly -1.75 on drivers side and less than -.5 on the passenger side. It would have been like this on the track day. :( I adjusted the passenger arms to be as close to the drivers as I could get by eye. I then used my new fender roller to make some extra space but holy crap the folds on the guards are made from battleship steel! I couldn't get much rolled at all, they were so strong. My alignment is now off with a 30 degree turn in my steering wheel. I'll find a new alignment joint I think. Not only did the last place think my speed sensor cable zip tied to the camber arm was a brake line, they didn't zip tie them back after they aligned it which was pretty poor. Happy I noticed and did it before the track. Looks like they couldn't match left and right either. Gave the old girl a bath and I'm always so happy with how she polishes up.

Duncan's V37.......race car?
PranK replied to Duncan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Damn, thats a tidy solution. Looks great! I carry a Slime repair thing with the air compressor since I ditched my run flats. It gives me a little bit of calm but in the past any blow out I've had was way worse than Slime could fix. I don't have any space under the floor at all in mine so I couldn't do what you have. Lots of folks just strap a wheel in the boot as out of the way as possible. Nice work! -
Hi and welcome! Did you buy from Japan and import yourself or is it from elsewhere in Europe?
-
That sucks. I'm looking forward to this thing running.

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
PranK replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Yeah I'm similar with Nulon but will be switching to Mobil 1 as per mechanics recommendation. I don't get near 10,000 k's a yeah but I'd prefer the yearly limit anyway. Yep. "Customer states ... " -
Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
PranK replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Yep, N54 operating temp as high as 108. Factory oil cooler in front of drivers front wheel. Bro in law and I go crazy on oil at the Supercheap sales. Need to add some crap oil now too and follow your lead! -
MLR's Bogan cruise ship

I relate to so much of what you said! -
How many people tripped over the splitter? 🤣 Well done! Great results!

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
PranK replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
That is pretty pedantic, but I love it. The N54 in my car is notorious for not coping with shit oil or shit oil change intervals. I'm tempted to adopt your strategy! -
Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

I love those vents! 😍
