Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

yea, someone spotted a black 33 on the side of the parkway, I figured it would have been you.. not to many black 33 with chromies on... sorry to hear that man

[B-rice]

Finally gearbox is in and everything bolted back to where it was. It was late so couldn't take it for a test drive. Big thanks to 5hiv and Eiji for helping out.

Thats what we are here for help each other out

now i need to fix mine slowly

SkyWagon Rego Re-inspect PASSED! (cost $14.40 for a guy to walk out, shine a torch thru a rear wheel and say yep)

Also Wheel alignment done. Toe out was way out on both sides. More than 2mm on drivers side and nearly 5mm on passengers side.

Belco Jane Bob.

jacked the car up, about to drop the oil out, just making sure is Castrol edge titanium 0w-40 full synthetic all good to go in the 33? have a bottle left over form an oil chance on the fpv a couple of months ago

Too Thin....Espesially in Summer

[Got a Pulsar]

10W40 or higher.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I wont be driving it to often, timing belt needs to be retention, will it be ok ? I have no idea when the last oil change was, it has a Japanese oil filter in it (imported in 05)

from everyone's comments its way to thin yea?

I use... Ryco Z145A Oil Filter and Nulon 10w40 Synthetic oil. Nulon 20w50 in the Wags cooz it's old...

some say to go higher for Hot weather and Track. (as in 50 or 60)

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

yea I just got the z145a oil filter, I literally had the spanner on the sump plug, then thought I would double check... the only real how wether driving ill be doing in this sat... and no track days till I get my ps, it will be up for an oil change by then..

[dontyellpl0x]

Well the hot viscosity, 40, is good. It's the cold viscosity, 0, which is too thin.

[zebra]

a 10w-40 is a thicker oil than 0w-40 even when hot

[B-rice]

Nissan recommends 7.5w 30/40. Use 5w 40 or 10w 40, if its a shittier oil 10w 40, but if its like Motul etc you can probably get away with 5W 40. You need to examine your engine and see how much wear you have.Not all engines are the same. Check your compression and how much blow by you have to see what thickness of oil you should run. More blow by means your oil is too thin for your worn piston rings you will also get a lower compression reading. i use 10w 40 summer 5w 30 winter.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Pulling it apart, no cruises or track days for a while.

Might as well do it while its so hot.

So ill see you's when its done.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I have to get around to do my plugs, its just a little to hot

[5hiv]

Started fixing my car and found out that the air con belt was smoking and i think the air con compressor is seized thats why when the engine tries to turn the compressor it smokes.

Have to change my fuel pump on the 33 me thinks..
Car seems to be chugging a lot and missfires these days.
Had a look over my notes and I haven't ever changed the fuel filter (last change was by dvs jez when the car was tuned)

[Anfanee]

When does the 34 arrive?
