rick james never had it as good as me - this post is 4 ruby haha

may need one on the way home if my gearbox goes bang.

Your gearbox wont go bang, my gearbox crunched 3rd from the day i brought it. I worked out i just needed to shift slower. 4 years later and its still working fine :P

^^you mean from 1st to 2nd? it's normal when cold... i think double clutching is a way to get around it

Yeah from 1st to 2nd, especially at higher revs. but also going into 1st like at traffic lights etc. But it seems to have stopped crunching/grinding all together now so Im happy with that :P

Dropped the mrs of at work this morning and for some reason the car felt like it had heaps more poke than normal.... I don't know if it's just me but the car seems to behave differently (response wise) on different days lately....hmm!

Well Im off to buy some oil and a filter today for the 32. Searched SAU on what oil would be good for a RB20DET, that just confused me more lol. The car has 158k on it but its been extremely well looked after. As far as I can tell, Motul Turbolight 4100 would be good for it.

If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I'll just get that.

I spoke with some lads some time ago about the Motul oils. The 4100 is good for 10,000kms but who's going to leave the same oil in their car for 10,000kms? 8100 is half the price and is changed twice as often (every 5,000kms). The end result was: with the 8100 the two oil changes every 10,000kms (5.000kms each) mean you'll have fresher oil more often.

So I stick with the 8100 every 5,000kms. Same cost in the end.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
