wowsers. very interesting test.

seems ill try something else next time, royal purple seems the go!

but only a few of the full synthetics seem to actually look different. the rest is all very much the same with a different pretty pattern. funny how some of the cheaper oils are much better than the exy ones of the same brand.

so acording to that if i were to buy penrite it would and could only be the fully Syn....which is funny cause i used all the expensive SIN oils in my box and diff......and they blow. it was a bit nicer for about a month then back to a sticky 1-2 change on cold winter mornings (only the first change or 2). and the noise and feel are back to exactly as they were. will be trying the Redline next time on those.

nice!! decided you needed more to fill your time??

anyone here have a windscreen squirter motor for an R33, mines dead. the rear one works fine so hope fully i can just find the motor for the front one >_<

We needed a motor for the ute so instead of just buying a motor and box we decided it was better to just grab a whole car. Should keep us fairly busy :thumbsup:

Morning Mangs

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(. But last week of work :).

Finished 24 hours of le mans last night, epic. Just nurburgring to go now...

that sounds like an interesting oil you running there smity. hows the oil pressure? im still vary wary of penrite.

I noticed low pressure earlier this week, but to be fair it is quite old and I did accidentally top it up with the oil I use for the XF before happy laps... so that probably didn't help. I changed the oil and filter that arvo (using the penrite SIN again) and it has been all good since then. No issues with pressure other than that.

I am guessing mine is the same as the full synthetic penrite in that, just marketed under the "SIN" branding. Seemed to do pretty good in the test.

I use SIN in the diff - no complaints. Also use SIN brake fluid and it is good too.

Redline LW shockproof for the gearbox, that stuff is magic. Although, Noel, Gervase, and ERD Dan all seem to have had some issues with it forcing its way out of the breather, this has not been a problem for me so far.

Mangs,

That is all.

What a sh*tbox! :P

Yeah it's a heap of shit lol. But it has some gauges and a pretty steering wheel and a brand new loom apparently so should be good. :thumbsup:

Yeah same mang. Trying to achieve as little as possible this week. It's 8:30 and I havent left the office yet. Great success.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
