    Lunch at the top of the Mountain.

    I went there for the race in 2002, the view from McPhillamy Park up the top is spectacular and the television coverage doesn't do any justice to how steep it is both up and down the mountain. You're lucky to have it literally on your doorstep Shannow, that's cool. Jason.

    I'm pretty sure at least one of the V8 supercar teams (I won't mention which one but it's fair to say they do ok) here in Aus uses the same Torco SR-5r that anyone can buy as I know a couple of guys that work for the local distributor that supplies it to them. Having said that it retails for...

    Lighter oils, lower zinc, et al

    Spot on MolaKule, definitely an ad for Penrite products (one of their sponsors no doubt) thinly disguised as a "technical article". Unfortunately this happens way to often in all forms of media these days, occasionally there's good info but you have to go through a lot of garbage to get it...

    overfilled is overhyped

    Interesting thread, it started out a bit wayward in my opinion but I'm glad I read on, even though the original topic got a bit derailed and there was a little bit of argy bargy which the young bloke helped straighten out, some of the BITOG big guns as I consider them have been involved at...

    Big W Australia Valvoline Clearance sale

    In Autobarn the other day and the hallowed Mobil 1 0W40 is a lazy $105 for 5 litres, Castrol Edge is usually between $70 and $90, you've got to love the oil prices over here. As for the PC being better than the U.S, sorry everyone but don't plan on moving to Australia if that's your reason...

    Shell Helix Sport 50 - datasheet ?

    I was only doing a bit of good old fashioned Aussie stirring but they certainly weren't well regarded in their day, that's for sure. What about the upmarket, sporty model, the SJ I think it was called, if I remember correctly the advertising slogan was "you're mother will hate it", hilarious...

    Shell Helix Sport 50 - datasheet ?

    G'day Shannow, I didn't realise it was an old thread bumped to start with. I wasn't concerned about your oil viscosity choice, more that you openly admitted in a public forum that you own a Camira, I thought uh oh, the Aussie members are going to give it to him for this one for sure. Best...

    Bearings...how they work.

    You realise that this is a waste of time because it's not solving the RP against the rest of the world contest. Seriously though, these technical threads are fantastic even if some of it's over my head, there's plenty to learn from them, great stuff, many thanks Shannow. Best wishes, Jason.

    Positive crankcase ventilation - Commercial catch

    Try Mighty Mouse solutions, he has a website you can look up. I'm not sure if they're what you would call reasonably priced, that's up to your individual finances but he has a good name from what I can see and makes quality products. He has a few standard set ups and can custom make catch cans...

    Mobil 1 Racing 0w50 versus RedLine 5w50

    G'day from Australia Christian, I'm familiar with your builds through the LS1 Tech and Corvette forums, monster engines and car by the way, much respect and it doesn't look like finance is a problem. If you're looking for a racing oil and aren't worried about cost, what about something from the...
