That's a straight 80. Too thin when warmed up IMO & a bit too thick when cold. Tried it on my AW11 SC before.

Yeah fair enough
It's all I could buy the sae 80 smooth shift so ill replace it soon

But anyways so my car got broken into last night by some little low life scum
And all they stole was my CD player face?
And my ash tray :0 it had a few dollars in there but it was a mint ash tray :(((
But they left the 400$ leather jacket behind the seat...
It was locked In pretty sure and had a car cover on it..
Anyways anyone going to Wakefield that has a spare sw20 ash tray I could have/buy please?
Thanks guys
Ethan

Man that's pretty bad luck you have there! If you're taking your car on the track, I'd change the transmission fluid.

"high performance"
For separate diffs maybe, but not for trans/diff combos like our cars.

Anyone going to Wakefield that could be so kind
Is anyone able to bring me some gl4 gearbox oil
That's 75-90/95 only nothing else
Amsoil is preferred obviously but cannot get any
And cannot get anything close to 75-90/95 here that's gl4 been everywhere today looking no luck
Only nulon 80 smooth shift but I want 75-95
Will pay upon receiving it.
Thanks Ethan

And nope no alarm/immobiliser
Will be investing in one now tho.. I have a dog and thought that would be a fine deterrent but he didn't even wake up :(

Worst luck
That bloody ash tray :(
And now I have no music for the trip down

Bad luck about your car being broken into, unfortunately it happens all too often. 
 
Too late for the MR2 challenge, but  in future if you want Amsoil GL4 75W-90 (Product code MTG) you can get it at Lubrication Management in Dandenong Vic. They have an online shop at:
http://www.lubricationman...nfo.php?products_id=56
That page will give also you the full specs of the oil.

You can buy GL4 fluid from ANY store like Repco, Bursons etc.
 
They will all be open saturday mornings too. Do a run around, unless you have a LSD you do not need "x" brand of fluid. Something that people have mentioned is all that is needed.

Its coming down to crunch time! Can't wait to see everyone lined up in their garages ready for a few days of thrashing their cars.
Mine needs a few issues fixed before I can get on track but its almost ready. Expect to be back from the Elvis festival by 12pm Sunday then pack and leave Sydney by 3pm at the latest. Should be in Wakefield in two hours later.
