hey dude, have a look through these:

oil thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Go...ils-t22458.html

transmission + diff thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tr...ts-t205993.html

Spark plugs thread (often spark plugs need to be changed regularly)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...0&start=300

Summary,

oil: use a good quality fully synthetic 10w40, such as sougi s6000 (discontinued but some bottles are still floating around), motul 300v, motul 8100 xcess, royal purple, redline.

transmission + diff: the penrite sin stuff is good, limslip 90 for the diff, and the sin 78w85 for gearbox i think, whatevers on the last page. im putting castrol vmx-m with a bottle of nulon g90 split between the two.

spark plugs: bosch fr7dp are cheap and decent platinums, ngk bcpr6es or bkr6es are pretty good coppers. either way, heaps of people change the plugs every 5000km with oil to just keep track of them, plenty of horror stories on sau about million $$ iridiums lasting 3000km

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
