You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

So Ex demo car 7K saving + 1 month earlier v New car

How much do they go for 2nd hand? Aren't ex-demo's generally thrashed? Correct me if Im wrong.

Also make sure the 'new car' price is the driveaway price, and does not have other hidden charges.

Do you have alot of time off work during the x-mas period and thats why you want it before then?

Not entirely sure on full price but they are around 70 new. Yeh I duno about ex demos that's why I'm asking for advice :P but I guess your right they have probably been thrashed.

No time off work until jan but yeh I just want one :P I think I'll just talk to a few dealers see what they say see if I can find a honest salesman if they exist

you put a brake line clamp on the soft line near the caliper to stop air get in/oil getting out, less of the system will need rebleeding when you reattach the calipers.

haha yes I am winnar.. all you Westies/Northsiders = FAIL

Im using 10W40 Motul Turbolight in both cars atm and I think its burning off like a mutha :< GRR

as soon as I figure out htf to get the oil filter off the S15 (kjghgfhjgff!!).. I'm gonna change it.. again :<

I think the 8100 used to be better but then thats 0W40! Have been told at Nats that Turbolight is like water..

Agreed, Turbolight 10W40 was like water. Used to disappear on my SR20DET and RB25DET, both of which were healthy engines (the SR reasonably stressed and the RB babied but getting on in km's.) Wouldn't ever use it again. Both my SR and RB loved Penrite Semi Synthetic 15W60, both ran quieter, smoother, idled better, temps and pressures remained better. And you would drain basically what you put into it, no dissapearing acts here. I'd definitely use it again on a highly stressed or slightly older engine. Tried running the Cube on it, engines too young and tolerances are too good so it was far too heavy and consequently made the engine noisy and sluggish. It would also have trouble starting on a cold morning, splutter and carry on like a bitch. Switched to Penrite Synthetic 5W60 and it runs like a dream. Quiet, revs better, starts instantly.

Amazing how much a different oil effects the way a car runs. No harm in trying a different oil for a short period to see what works for you.

Yeah talk to the dealers but don't get sucked in on the day. Some of the car dealers are pretty full on...

Not just any Accountant, the best. Your welcome to come into my boardroom office, and we can sit around drinking bourbon liek a baws.

With Turbolight - if I ever left as long as 5,000km and didn't top it up between changes (think I only did that once) I lost nearly 2L. Considering that's more than half the SR's capacity that's terrible. And it never noticeably burnt it so yeah...needless to say I started checking the oil more and eventually decided the oil just didn't suit my car. My ex's SR S15 was exactly the same, though his seemed to disappear even quicker.

With Penrite you'd nearly drain as much as you put in.

As I mentioned my RB lost Turbolight as well (although not quite as much), but again, not suited to that engine. Tappets were very noisy running Turbolight.

Too many bad experiences with Turbolight in my corner.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
