oil huh, there is a huge thread and every man and his dog has an opinion.

for me, 5w40 for winter. protecting the engine with the thinner oil with the cooler startup. 10w40 in summer, hotter weather allows for the ticker oil on start up and wont burn off with the warmer weather.

10w50 if you run it off the rev limiter or track it one a month / hills.

had a great time last night, again so many people to talk to. couple of faces I hadn't seen in a while.

felt no motivation to leave home. so i jumped in bed at like 10 and stared at the ceiling for ages domokun.gif

If Kaz could drive from the west side then I'm sure you could have as well instead of being at home foreveralone.

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..

Grant you can pick me up :D I'm GTR-less

pic related, its me :(

If you're ok with at least 70rwkw down in power!

And not keen on taking your crotch rocket out?

Indeed. Was chasing him, he can drive that is for sure.

If Michael (miguelone) doesn't slow both of us up, Chris would kill me both in Esplanade and Arthurs Seat.

Give it till after I get my tax return next year, I'll have a turbo manual 2 door 31.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
