    Rear arms polyurethane bushings

    My advice, replace to poly if you are unable to get OEM rubbers. If you go for poly, go for the softer shore. And when you get the bushings, measure the inner tube inner and outer diameter.

    How is HTHS measured?

    Iirc these 5W50 has a ton of VII in it to meet the 50 grade, so at 150C and high shear conditions, the polymers undergo temporary shear thats why you get 3.7cP. Some blenders build in temporary shear so that their oils will give good fuel economy.

    Lubegard Gear Oil Additive - Any BITOG User Experience?

    I just added it to my new diff fluid, about 10% treat rate , the rest of the 1.3L are Lucas 75W-140. I was hoping for a miracle. I have this faint whooping sound from 60 to 70kmh , and the new oil with lubegard did quiet it down but only by a tiny bit. The first 10km it was noisier but it went...

    Are calculators still a thing?

    I bought a cheap made in china calculator when I was rebuilding my diff, to calculate the left and right bearing shims thickness for preload .and also to minus the backlash readings that sometimes goes to below or above 0. Saves me from unlocking my cellphone screen with my oily fingers.

    LubeGard Platinum instructions

    The instructions state that it needs to be poured in the trans while the engine is idling. What is the logic of this. Why can't I just add it to my drain and fill while engine is off ?

    Valvoline R&P Where to buy in EU

    I am a fan of VRP, but Rislone is not a flush. What I meant was it will clean in one OCI compared to 4 Oci for VRP. Plus Rislone is easily available in Europe.

    Lets see the cars!!!!

    The only thing I changed are the wheels. OEM wheels were 15x6, these are 16x7. And I added side skirts and rear spoiler, custom made but mimics the OEM optional skirts and spoiler. Everything else is stock. Yes, the Infiniti M30 was also known as the Nissan Leopard in Japan, it was the arch...
