track use? just use something thin like 5w40 mobil 1 and replace it after each day. brake fluid motul rbf 600 is the thing. coolant use any high glycol coolant they are all similar maybe look into water wetter if you have temp problems. for a gtr use any synthetic atf for transfer case. and any old PSF for ATTESA, power steer and clutch.

Well im currently using Motul 300V 5-30, it worked great even after doing 30laps or so on the last track day..just thinking should i go with the 10-40 instead or maybe consider royal purple or redline...i just read the thread "the goods on oils" in the general maintainence section and yeah it has given me great insight into engine oils...im already using RBF600 and yeah it is awesome..the other brake fluid i was recommended was castrol xrf, but apprarently RBF600 has the highest dry n wet boiling point in the market. Gearbox oil im running redline shockproof and no complains abt it at all...

I'm more of searching into coolant, clutch fluid and yeah fer the transfer case...my temps were very healthy on the track as i run almost all cooling components like oil cooler and alum GT radiator etc...was looking into getting a transmission cooler fer the gearbox though..any insight on that?

I dont quite get wot u mean by old PSF fer attesa, clutch and power steer though...

I'd stay with the Motul 300V. That stuff was designed for track use and is a very good choice. I'd probably go with the 10W40 next time to keep the viscosity loss at bay when the oil gets real hot and also for added protection.

For coolant you could just run straight demineralised water with Redline Water Wetter. Corrosion protection, highest thermal transfer.

For the transfer you could go synthetic like Redline ATF or Castrol's Transmax Z if the transfer case spec's Dexrol III (which I believe it is)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
