+1 my brother at the age of 24 has lost jobs, friends, everything he's ever earnt since he's been working, was declared bankrupt and has the tax department chasing him because he owes a lot of tax. He also owes plenty of other people money. Gambling has torn my family completely apart and continues to do so. Pokies being the main culprit.

Maybe

It's a strange thing considering EL have threatened legal action on other forums I'm on for bad words said about them but they haven't found this section of SAU it would seem.

You'll get the best vantage point as a volunteer. Sorry, won't be making it up to this one. First one I've missed in years

Oh that's pretty young, it shouldn't be losing oil like that! Maybe a full synth seeing as it's still a young engine? If it's in your budget that is: http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/motor-oil/sin/sin_engine_oil_10

I was in a bit of a hurry to get my car back so I didn't search but Nissan were damn expensive I agree.

Whole rear drivers side hub, Nissan had one in stock in the country at the time. It wasn't cheap, at all. Stupid ripple strip, it ruined my sideways.

That's the funny thing, so many people find it disappears on their SR but people keep buying it 'cause it's got 'turbo' in the name, and turbo must mean it's better. Try the Penrite Semi Synthetic 15W60 I recommended and report back on how the car runs and how the oil situation is going. It improved not just my SR but others I know considerably. Ignore it's blurb on the website but this is the one I'm referring to: http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/motor-oil/hpr/hpr_15 - it doesn't really sell itself with 'older engines/pre-97 family cars' but it's not very expensive so it's not going to hurt to try. I ran it on the track and on the street. It'll give your SR plenty of protection going into a hot summer. They've got nice full synthetics too but they're not really that necessary unless you're making massive power or it's a newer engine.

Wheel bearings make a humming noise on acceleration/deceleration (think a plane taking off) when they go, and you'd be able to move the wheel side-to side with a shake and hear the noise when you spin it with the wheel off the ground. I have had many a wheel bearing replaced (5 on the Pulsar and 1 on the R34.)

With Turbolight - if I ever left as long as 5,000km and didn't top it up between changes (think I only did that once) I lost nearly 2L. Considering that's more than half the SR's capacity that's terrible. And it never noticeably burnt it so yeah...needless to say I started checking the oil more and eventually decided the oil just didn't suit my car. My ex's SR S15 was exactly the same, though his seemed to disappear even quicker. With Penrite you'd nearly drain as much as you put in. As I mentioned my RB lost Turbolight as well (although not quite as much), but again, not suited to that engine. Tappets were very noisy running Turbolight. Too many bad experiences with Turbolight in my corner.

6.95% for me with BankWest because of my LVR. Hasn't dropped...

Agreed, Turbolight 10W40 was like water. Used to disappear on my SR20DET and RB25DET, both of which were healthy engines (the SR reasonably stressed and the RB babied but getting on in km's.) Wouldn't ever use it again. Both my SR and RB loved Penrite Semi Synthetic 15W60, both ran quieter, smoother, idled better, temps and pressures remained better. And you would drain basically what you put into it, no dissapearing acts here. I'd definitely use it again on a highly stressed or slightly older engine. Tried running the Cube on it, engines too young and tolerances are too good so it was far too heavy and consequently made the engine noisy and sluggish. It would also have trouble starting on a cold morning, splutter and carry on like a bitch. Switched to Penrite Synthetic 5W60 and it runs like a dream. Quiet, revs better, starts instantly. Amazing how much a different oil effects the way a car runs. No harm in trying a different oil for a short period to see what works for you.

Hi Bec, could you please remove me from the list? Not coming up now.

Yeah I'm not going to do that.

It's not the first one either. However the rest of us weren't hired on looks lol

I believe she was hired on looks because she likes sitting on Facebook, doing her makeup and sleeping at her desk. Actual ability? Not a lot.

Ah no. My mum would be taking care of it if ever I'm away.

An accounts girl we employed doesn't know how to use Excel...fark.

I'm not going to be one of those irresponsible cat owners that let their cat roam.

Wanting to adopt a cat, shelters aren't replying to my voicemails and emails. What's with that? I'm trying to do something good

Two R34 sedans (one white, one silver) at Caltex on Princes Hwy/Browns Road this afternoon.

Bec competing? Yay! Shall volunteer as per usual
