call Harold from performancelub.com. I will PM you details, his place is in Fairfield or similar so not far from you.

Here is his website and products/prices.

He only has good oils, the Castol is both German Castol (0w30) and from the US for the 40wt. I always get redline from him. The M1 is from the US also, all are top shelf.

Everyone should be buying from him anyway cos its shit loads cheaper for the good stuff.

He runs the business fror his home and therefore is always there!

Cheers

hey all

thanks for the help i got some oil sorted -

im a stupid head and didnt realise the local servo would have some oil - shell premium 10w40 just cost me $70 though

for those who want a laugh

brought some new 10w40 turbolight 4100 and i dropped the sump bolt, get rid of the old oil, no worries

ripped off the old oil filter, got the new oil filter, rubbed some oil on the seal and put it onto the engine

little did i realise the old oil seal was still on the engine so when i fitted the new one they both clamped up real tight

it felt like it was going on normally so i thought it was fine - sump bolt back on - filled her up

gave it a crank good oil pressure around 3kgm2 and oil spewing out everywhere - doh!!!!!

so had to drain it all - didnt have a prefectly clean container so had to ditch the new oil didnt want to risk dirt etc

so drained it all out, refitted sump bolt, removed the filter, and lo- and be hold the old seal was there too - woopsies

anyway - an hour later - some frustration and swear but all good

:banana:

    • Yes, I know馃檮 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole馃ぃ
    • You鈥檒l be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don鈥檛 do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30掳 silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30掳 silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
