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

-D

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.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
