right getting it down.. mobil 1 castrol syntrax OEM filters just gotta confirm gearbox oil. I was told to do an oil flush? Does this mean a specific product to flush out all the old oil build up? Or is it just using more Mobil 1 to do the flush? cheers, daniel

apologies, shitty day yesterday

^ what's the point of that? if what ash say is right, (new laws, even a stock GTR can't pass) ok, we'll now rev to 5100rpm oh ok, let me just set that on my fancy shmancy rev limited, there you go 5100rpm right o.... fail. next. are you saying that they won't be able to rev it passed 4K? that will be pointless as they will know there is a restriction somewhere, find it, disable, and continue with the test. kyoto is waste of time without everyone involved. don't wait for stuff like that, do it yourself. Join green fleet, change your light bulbs, get solar panels, use more public transport, car pool when you can. Plant craploads of trees. Don't chop down ones you have. Turn off any appliance you don't need on, standby modes use almost as much power as machines being on, etc, etc... sad fact is, without countries like china/india involved, kyoto is worthless EDIT: so Dr Drift ECU tune is illegal?

^ give me $26K and i'll find you a 1/24 model, and deliver to you express post, at MY expense deal of the century!! want my account details?

which one would you be choosing?

ooooooook i guess he likes the Mobil 1. That's good, because i've chose that as my next oil as well although, prob heading 0w40 anywho... i'm finally narrowing everything down for my BIG service.... Engine: Mobil 1 0w40 (might try 0w30 is they have it) Diff: Castrol Syntrax Filters: OEM Nissan (oil/fuel/air) Now, gearbox. I was going to go with Redline Lightweight Shockproof but was wondering what are my other options? Are there any other gearbox oils that are comparable to the quality of Redline Lightweight? If none, what's the next step down? Because Redline is $$$$$ For those that reckon Redline is over-priced, what do you think does just as good a job as the Lightweight Shockproof? Car does not at the moment see any track time. One other thing. When i was told to do an oil "flush", would this be referring to a specific product to use to flush out the old oil and oil build-up, or is this just using more of the Mobil 1 to flush it? cheers, daniel

cool, that's good to hear. Wasn't that keen running around chasing 3 different brands I rang Brighton Nissan, nice and helpful over the phone. And they have the stuff in stock. The guy said they suit quite a few models, so shouldn't much drama with supply. (03) 9563 9977 i'd imagine prices would be much of a muchness, regardless of dealership.

too busy! must get around to this... anywho... I gave Nissan a call, do these prices sound ok? (these are OEM Nissan filters) - Oil: $16 - Fuel: $33 (are fuel filters generally more expensive?) - Air: $18 Would i be ok just to go down and pick all the filters in one hit? Is genuine Nissan stuff good enough? cheers, daniel

maybe groper's referring to the fact that he either has one of the 'factory' steel wheel turbo's or he's had the ceramic ones replaced with steel wheels... possibly...

^ sounds tough!! PICSORBAN

thought he'd be able to advise on rims sizes and offsets? out of curiosity... what were the size/offset of the rims you chose?

you have 1, and 1 only task once you get underway at your new job.... teh new... G T R! mate, that is beyond cool! Now make your Evo faster than them all!

so there is a difference between spacers and hub rings? i was always under the impression that spacers are a) illegal, b) dangerous... hub rings illegal as well but not as dangerous?

4 door gtr's, only R33, not R34. And technically, it's Autech, not Nissan, that made the 4 door r33 gtr.

hole or no-hole better/worse is still up in the air a little. If it works good on your car, great. Go with it but don't write it off just because there is no hole. Try it first.

It's definitely a twin turbo V6, don't know capacity for sure. Somewhere between 3.2 and 3.6 litres.

i thought you said the holed one was slightly more responsive, but more erratic at high end rpm? and no-hole was a touch laggier, but more stable?

phising = "fishing" for information. eg, and email sent out asking you to update your account details with your bank. So you follow a link, update your account numbers, passwords, date of birth, blah blah, all along thinking you are putting these details in the real website of your bank. But it's just a fake website and all your details were just captured. A lot of scams floating around were based/originated from Nigeria.

besides hand timed evidence at laguna sec yes i know, not very accurate... but to be honest, 997 911 turbo is a monster of a car, possibly the best performance car you can buy (minus the ultra exotic, or small volume boutique makers), even if it's on par with the 911 Turbo, that's good enough considering it will be significantly cheaper.

u trying one with or without the hole, in your GTR?

same old "over seas" story.. although this person's english is quite good

thank you captain obvious, but it's listed as MP2, so just spotting, what i think, is actually MP3 and yet another reason why this is a fake ad wow... just.... wow

isn't that MP3 paint? looks like there's some decent "flip" in the close up pic of the driver side front quarter

something you want to tell us mate?

i got a reply just yesterday, but he's totally swamped with a new container that's arrived. i've actually dealt with him once before, great guy to work with. i wasn't fussed, just wondering if he might have been on holiday or something. it's not like containers are little things
