krishy: after doing some searching around it does seem that the active LSD halfshafts are fractionally shorter then a normal set.. meaning they would have been pulling on the half shafts :( what a PITA.

sounds like it would be easier if Krishy just sold it to me :whistling:

good work Brendan keep your eyes fixed on your goal and thats a degree in 4 years time

thanks mate - and a rewarding career working with highend technology to help the everyday person who is sick/unwell or injured/in-pain

I know how debilitating chronic pain is & how much it effects you and your surroundings, so if I can forge a career out of helping others Id be over the moon.

"The path to greatness is neither easy nor predictable".

My goals are: preparing for Uni by covering the 3-main text books used for the first two years, get thru 1st semester, 1st year then 2nd year & start the clinical placement, get the degree & accreditation in radiation science, get work in the diagnostic imaging field, finally get some income & buy a house again, and reward myself with a Blue R35 by around 2018. Step by step, little by little, I really want to work towards my goals. If I find its beyond me then so be it, but its nice to dream (again)

SR20DET heavy duty carbotic button clutch kit $440 inc gst

if you would like to order PM me as this is my price not a random ring up price

We rate this clutch to 330 rwkw. It has 5 puks with a sprung center.

Mobil 1 gold 0w40 any good for RB26? or should I just go with the ever popular Motul 300v 10w40 or 15w50?

Your opinion?

Don't ever run a 0W** oil in Aust Andz......the 10W40 is what you need bud.......15W50 if you track it.

Nulon has received some negative feedback in the past from mainly those that have no idea, but they actually do a good product and have a 6L bottle of 10W40 full synthetic that's every bit as good as the Motul product

just a note.

neither the 300V OR the nulon oil is compatiable with E85. both will go milky after a very short period of time.

Roadmaster RM500 from Anglomoil is aussie made, full syn, suits e85 and is a really good oil. been using it a lot lately. Garage 7 stock it.

Mobil 1 is good stuff, I use Redline in everything. that 0 weight is a bit too light for the hot weather coming up IMO, thats what the lower number means, the flow rate during cold weather.

I used Mobil 1 in my RX7 and the car made it nearly 400,000 MILES , of hardcore racing road racing and daily driving on a bridgeport 12A before it broke a rotor gear siezed , it still ran on one rotor for months as a daily..haha 1 rotor on a alloy flywheel is shocking amount of torque to move a car by the way. ..lol

and used it on my old R31 thats still ticking over 500,000km on it never had more then a valve cover off , purrrrs still

Had to laugh like a 12yr old little boy when I saw this:

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
