If you wouldn't put chrome wheels on your car then why would you want chrome badges everywhere. Sticker is going dont worry about that. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

But that oil cant be any better than Red Line or Amsoil etc they are as good an oil as you can buy- all those companies buy up the same basestocks. And you can get mobil 1 at Halfords for 38quid for 5 litres. I recently saw and SAE paper and they tested the oil and measured cam wear etc in a 350Z engine and found a widely available PAO based oil was the best and not the ester based everyone presumes is the best. |

Was just saying there is no point paying that for oil. If you want to pay 120 for what others pay 40, its up to you. I have found lots of useful information and help on this board, just thought i could give some back as have knowledge in that area. The paper i referred to was produced by Nissan- not the only oil approved for the GTR is mobil 1. You have no way of knowing whether the 120 pound oil is better than the 40 quid stuff. |

I'm not sure, too scared to try any other oil than Rich approves. And not too keen on White wheels on a china. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Been a while since I've wrote anything on this thread, it's been a few hectic and very expensive months. It all started with what I thought was a gearbox failure in the month I was off to Magaluf for two weeks. While I was going to change the gearbox I might as well get a new clutch cable and a lightened flywheel ![]() ![]() Gearbox out ![]() New flywheel. Shiny ![]() Old vs New ![]() Fitting ![]() A bacon roll and lovely burger later as well as about 15 hours ![]() The culprit: ![]() Gearboxes ![]() Would like to add a massive thanks to Royston for helping as a gearbox change was defiantly out if my mechanical skills range, nice to learn new stuff on cars as well so i should be able to change one myself now ![]() At about 12am we fired the car up with a horrible sound. Right we will leave that and see if it's to do with the car being jacked up all day :fingerscrossed got it home safely. Next couple of days the car got worse and eventually didn't start, Rich then realised I'd missed a locating dowel out of the starter. There should be 3, two for the box and one for the starter. Not to worry new starter motor and away we go. Still a small problem though, car struggled to start and was overheating. By this time I'd given up and let Rich and Nick sort this problem. It turned out to be a bad earth and corroded wires that stopped the coolant system working and the car starting. Ah well all in the fun of owning a 6. So a happy owner once again!
