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.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
