The only real problem I've ever found with them (overheating wise) is if you use aftermarket seals. Then they leak oil, and then get too hot because they don't have enough oil to keep them cool.

Insufficent lubrication. Never good.

GL to you john but all my years of not owning an aircooled engine built for northern european climate only convinced me I did the right thing by avoiding them.

I dont think I ever saw one that wasnt either just rebuilt or needed rebuilding.

spoken like a true skeptic there Noel :domokun:

if unloved and just trashed any car is terrible. with a little love and some extra oil they are quite happy cruising around in the heat. plus a basic long block rebuild costs less than 1400 bucks, thats a win :cheers:

as for the rotary idea, that was/is still my plan for when i ever break my VW motor (as it will never be a daily...or need to be overly reliable again). and supercharged ones hanging out the back of a low bug does look pretty phat.

Spoken like a true "i've never owned a vw, but i've heard others complain about them, so i'll make the same complaints" man. A close relative of the "i've never owned a 300z, but i hear things about engine removals..." man.

You're cluless John, Have i owned one, Hell no. too smart for that but i bet there have been more of the f**ken things in my family than you've probbly even seen. From stock woosty's to fastbacks to manx buggys. The buggy was a tunna fun till we flipped it with 8 blokes hangin off it.

If you want to nurse them around they are fine to a point but they will never outlive a watercooled engine in a tropical clime.

You start moddin the fokkas and they're more trouble than a rb.

      Red Line 75W90NS in rear diff R34 GTT

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Great to know! The guys from The Skyline Shed are going to sort it out and send what I ordered anyway. Turns out their supplier sent them the wrong stock.  But it's good to know I "can" put this in if needed

      You do not need an LSD oil in any stock (non-GTR) diff, even if it is an "LSD". This because none of the (non-GTR) LSDs are clutch/friction type LSDs. Either viscous or helical - neither of which require an LSD oil.

      Red Line 75W90NS in rear diff R34 GTT

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I bought the Redline diff oil and the seller has sent me Redline 75W90NS even though that’s not what’s pictured.  I’ve already booked a hoist to go and change my diff tomorrow but I’m not sure if the NS is ok for the rear diff in a R34 GTT I think the NS does not have any slip modifiers so would that be an issue?    thanks in advance

      M35 Stagea intake suction pipe

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not easy to find pics from 15 years ago, but here is a partial one. Keep in mind that it curved immediately from the airbox, then kept a straight line for the MAF to read correctly, followed by a 45 degree bend straight down to the turbo. This connection was the most difficult as it had to twist as well as bend to meet the almost vertical straight section of the intake.

      Yes, well, wrt a wheel alignment, there are two types. Either: You have very little added adjustables, in which case the alignment can be done by anyone in any tyre shop or equivalent, and will only take 30 minutes, and so there is no reason to even consider leaving the car there. OR: The alignment is a major exercise because you have adjustables everywhere and so you will need to be taking it to a shop that is skilled and experienced at setting up race cars and the like, and you won't need to worry about leaving the car there.
