never been to Northlands??? lol

Where the hell is ROXBUEGH PARK

Metro..... lol!!!!! Stay AWAY from QBH or you're likely to be stabbed

I'll keep an eye out. I'm in Melton but have mates in st albans and altona. I've seen the car once just near watergardens. It's definitely not going to blend in like a camry!! f*ken bastards!!!! I'd keep an eye out for it at the on ramp from the ring road onto the westgate city bound, just to teh left down teh hill, there is a park. I have seen a few cars down there all stripped down to the shells. Saw a WRX there once when I drove to work, was there for probab;y a week before it was stripped.

WTF!!! Parked on the nature strip on lwr heidelberg road and it STILL had rims!!! black 34GTT at watergardens today, I was turning in with you. Black 32GTR with green P's yesterday on Calder Fwy. You took the turn off with me and we cruised a bit up Melton Hwy before you turned into watergardens. Dude you got balls driving a turbo on your P's!!

Agreed, if you want to drive a beat up looking white 33 with a shitty looking black bonnet and burnout wheels on the back and look like a tool, then do it, it's youi porogative... Jks dude. just making a point. Saw a red Hyundai Excel on melton hwy tonight with a fricken GT wing on the back that must have been from off a Hummer it was so wide!! I lol'd so hard I nearly dropped my smoke on my balls!! It's peanut butter jelly time!

Dodge Mopar oil is 0w20!!! And it gets used in all their cars!!

All good to recommend Bilstein but they command greater amounts of the plastic stuff ($$$$) Rears for my 32R were roughly $550 each!! Front weren't much better at around the $450 mark. KYB and Koni are great and a damn sight cheaper than the billy's. Tein are also fine, I think of them as BilsTEIN without the BIL$ attached!! lol

Centreline sourced mine for the 32GTR, inner and outer on both sides, $150 each from Nissan.

Thing with high powered engines is that they usually have tighter tollerences so you would be able to use thinner oils

bumpity bump bump. got 2 emails today asking for more details and pics of interior will get onto this and post some up here.

Part number on the plug or packet will tell you what heat range. I use 7's so number for me is BCPR7ES

All colours. I know of one in SA that is wine red, mine is spark silver.

Yeah was on too tight, tried all the tricks to get it off too: 1. bare hands and muscle 2. windex on hands, let dry so sticky, then step 1 3. Mechanix wear gloves with grip palm 4. Latex rubber glove 5. normal rubber gloves Could have put a scredriver through it but couldn't be assed with the mess. I'll get a proper filter wrench and get it off in 10,000kms. The olny reason the mineral was in there was because we were flushing the engine of all the shit in it after the upper engine clean. PM me the details of this "wonder oil" I am curious now, I'll try most things at least once

yeah cool, I understand your logic, I was running Motul 300v 10w40 and last scheduled service at mechanics it got drained for 15w50 mineral due to it being dropped 3 times while there when doing upper engine flush to get rid of some of the carbon. I have now drained out the mineral crap and gone back to full synthetic. As I said the Mobil was cheap so I got it, to tell you the truth, it is revving a lot smoother than the mineral but probably on a par with the Motul, Oil pressure is same as usual, bout 6 and a bit when first started in morning, leveling out to between 2 and 4 while driving. temps are always around the same, high 80s while driving (mostly freeway where I live) and shooting up to bout 110 - 120 on the 40deg stinkers! Oh and F%#K ME!! That oil filter on a 32R is a bitch to get off!!! next time it's K&N filter for me, at least then I can get a spanner on the lug nut to get teh bastard off!!!

^^ While I agree in part to most of what you are saying, to say that a 5w is too thin is not entirely true. Very rarely do Aussie mornings get above the 30 degree mark and below this your oil is still going to be a 5w, it's the cold weight of the oil, it doesn't care if it's 20 or 5 degrees outside, it's not that sensitive to temperature and your engine is not going to be teh same temp as the ambient temp of teh air surrounding it. I agree that the closer the number the better as there are less modifiers in the oil but a 50 weight is not too thick when you are pushing high 30s outside and your oil temps are on the high side of the 100's. Your oil is usually flowing better than the cold weight at operating temp anyway, just look at any of the CST information and you can see that it is flowing more readily, if anything I would actually go the opposite way and increase the hot weight, not the cold weight. Only reason I got the 5w50 mobil 1 was because at $49 it's a bargain, it'll be gone in 20 thousand KMs anyway and then I might put some more 300v in if I have the cash, if not it will probably be another oil around the $50-$90 mark. Just another question, not trying to be a smart ass so don't take it like that just curious is all.... Wouldn't Top Fuel drag cars use a proper race oil that is not a multi grade, i.e. a 60wt and not a multigrade like 25w70?? They don't care about cold start protection, they gonna pull down the motor after the meet anyway and a monograde is going to offer the best protection.

Just to add to this massive thread, Mobil 1 5w50 with super syn is only $49 at Autobarn at the moment. Got myself a couple of bottles today. Have also read this entire thread and there is a lot of misinformation in it about oils and base stocks etc. What everyone has to remember is that most of the shelf bought stuff is going to be fine in your RB. Sure the Motul and other ester based oils are slightly better but at almost double the price of some other oils they are a waste of money if you are dropping the oil every 5000km or less unless you are racing or see a lot of track I wouldn't bother for a daily or street driven car, unless of course you have the money and don't mind wasting it. "full" Synthetics from Mobil, Shell, Fuchs, Penrite, Valvoline, Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, etc. are all going to do fine in your car it all depends on your individual driving style, type, engine, climate and personal preference. Same as fuel, most people I know (me included) won't run Shell V-Power in their cars for various reasons, same goes with your oil. Find one you like and use it, or try different ones, who cares, they are all going to protect your engine, just some have better marketing, sorry, protection. My 2 cents anyway. *puts on nomex suit and prepares for flaming*

that is true. I suppose the only illegal thing that was done was the occasional crossing of the white line. Can't really say speeding was involved unless you wanna count how fast the broken white line was goin under the car and work it out from that. Maybe the video was "sped up"

^^^^ Wrong. The police can't just take your car from your home if you're not there. That is basically stealing. The Police are not above the law. When I had the cops come to my house those many years ago I should just have not answered the door. I had 4 cops come to the front door to give me a card to call another cop. Thats right, 4 cops in 2 cars to drop of a business card! I was young and stupid and answered the door. If I had of left them there I could have never called that cop because hey the card magically disapeared. You live and learn. Oh and yes Hamish, I'm sure you do know why they came, bloody Mazda and it's wicked little ways, kept me on my P plates for 6 years!!!

black 34 GTT in melton earlier today (older guy driving) gave him a flash of the lights and got a wave in return, then saw the same guy again about 10 mins ago going the opposite way on same rd

Knowing now what I didn't about 5 years ago, the guy that got the cops to his front door should have said he wasn't driving at all that night and the car was at home with him, nothing they can do about it. Unless they have footage of his car somehow.

make sure you have Quicktime installed on your PC then it should load once it's downloaded. Until it's downloaded you will just have the Quicktime symbol

nice, if I had of known you were taking 32's I would have put up the VSpecII for you. Ah well, looks like you got a good turn out anyways

Except GOM!! Video was good but just a tip for any budding in car camera men out there... Try not to turn the camera to compensate for a corner like you would with your head (eg. lean it like a motorbike) It looks so much better to keep it flat, we all know there is a corner there but the leaning just gives you the shits after a while. But yeah that was a good stretch of road and such a nice day for it too!

+1. VLC or GOM will play all the files you can throw at them. If GOM can't play it, it will shoot you to the web to download the correct codec.
