Hey guys, I will be holidaying over there later this month and was just wondering what the availability of Optimax or similar was like in the country areas of Vic, NSW and QLD. It's not even available here in Tas. Am looking forward to getting over there and trying it out, but once there I want to keep using it for the duration of my trip. Thanks for any info.

I have done a fair bit of driving recently with my skyline up to qld, down to Wagga Wagga and up around Mudgee and didnt have any trouble finding Optimax. I think any town with with more than 5000 people seems to have a Shell servo that has Optimax. The main thing you will have to worry about is how to get the bugs off your car.

It depends on which way you will be travelling.....

If you are heading north through vic, nsw, qld you will most likely go inland or along the coast. On either route you can travell for many km's without finding any decent 98.

:D

Remember that the fuel in country areas is probably replenished at a slower rate than in the city servos (who have much higher volume). The fuel starts to go "off" after sitting around for a few days, so you may not get the full benefits of Optimax (or any other uprated fuel for that matter).

gR33ddy that is the madest signature, been watching it for like 10 mins now, nice drift action...lol

Gotta admit tho, I flogged it from someone on NS.com - I had to have it!! :)

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
