I have recently purchased some NGK G Power Platinum IX BKR6EGP for my Series 2 Stagea and thought I will share the positive experience (not affiliated in any way with the company).

They cost only $10 each (on sale), usually $12 each which is a very good price with nominal shipping charge Australia wide.

The Irridium IX NGK's are $14 each which is a very good price (Supercheap, Repco, Bursons can charge anywhere between $18-$25 each for these).

The website is www.performancelub.com or

They are Melbourne based and even pre-gapped the Platinums to 0.8mm for me at no charge!

Now that's service.

They also advertise on Ebay sometimes.

Also stock a wide variety of good oils as above.

Not affiliated in any way, just posting a good experience for all Stagea lovers.

Yep +1 for Henry's service and pricing

Pickup is also an option if you are local (or willing to drive)

'tis the only place I would buy Redline from as retail outlets have ridiculous prices and generally crap service

don't want to burst your bubble, but the plugs come pre-gapped at 0.8mm (unless they have -11 on the end of the part number which means they are the 1.1mm gap), so they didn't really do a thing.

They only advertise as stocking single quarts of oil I think what's with that?

At a guess, they would get their stock from the USA

I'm planning on buying some Redline from these guys eventually, heard nothing but good stuff about them.

Easier to bring into the country

i see that makes sense, even still at $14 a quart/litre for 10-40 royal purple it would cost $70 to fill the old girl with a little left for top ups, that's an awesome price over here in perth most so called "performance" shops want like $110 bucks at least so you would still be ahead even with paying the postage.

Yes had -11 at the end so factory gap of 1.1mm regapped to 0.8mm.

Agreed: GreenGhost (Myles) uses nothing but Royal Purple, and pays around $115 from a local supplier every time...

Meh... I change my oil every 3000-5000km, or 6 months: whatever comes first. That said, I am stressing the engine very close to its limit in stock form, so I prefer to err on the side of caution...

Haha whoops meant 5000, I don't think the nulon syn is that great so it's 5000 for me, so you

reakon royal purple is good for 20,000?

im still rocking the gulf western sougi s6000

$60-$70 for 5 litres depending on your distributer - some will even bring it to your door for no charge

its the same group as royal purple too (group 5 ester syn), nulon is a group 3 which is modified mineral oil

      R34 power steering

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
