Does anyone know where to get one of these? http://www.amazon.com/Plastics-Group-W78-Drain-Container/dp/B000HEBYYU It's basically a screw top drain pan so you can store it until you make a trip to the tip, no mess no fuss. It doesn't have to be this exact one but the only other one I saw in Australia seems like absolute shit. I first saw this at a friends house in Brisbane where he said he got it at a local Repco but I've been all around town here and cant find it for the life of me so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out

Im not to sure how accurate that would be, I use load cells at work and they cost thousands and need to be calibrated every 12 mths, not sure this would be monies well spent, better of getting a quality manual one, might cost a bit more but you know its going to be accurate.

Why dont you just save your old oil bottles to use, cost nothing.

I originally saw this at Total Tools and its the guys there that recommended it to me and got me on to them but they were 100 bucks there so I found that when I was looking for the drain pan and the main reason for the pan is because I live in a uni I only have a car port not a garage having to wash up everytime I do an oil change is disgusting not to mention I have to wash my food in the same sink. I store my oil in 10L coles water jugs but I just want something that's sealable so I can leave it in my store room or even outside in my car port without having traces of oil in it and making everything disgusting.

Thanks for the in advice though

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
