If you want the very best, NEO synthetic oil is the go. It's the only oil the public can buy which is derived from a fully synthetic diester. Their gear oil is specified by Hewland. Club racers & motorsport pro's use this stuff. Amsoil is also very good. It used to be derived from a full synthetic diester, but they changed the recipe. Then you've got your regular oil companies (Shell, Castrol, Mobil etc).

Nissan specify 7.5w-50 or 40 (can't remember which) in the Jap owner manual. Don't use cheap sh1t oil...

NEO is awesome stuff, if you've got plenty of $$$ ~$175 for 5L :eek:

Any of the good quality synthetics are fine, ie Castrol R, Mobil 1, Shell Helix Ultra & so on. Most importantly change oil & filter every 5k. If you do track days etc probably worth doing changes more often.

I use Motul 300V CHRONO 10W/40 . I just did an oil change, 5L cost me $85.

Redline is another very good, costly, choice.

I have always used Pennzoil but Shell bought it out and now they are mixing in their blends.....:rolleyes: Will start using a new brand that has a base so pure that it is totally clear infact the oil is sooo good they don't make synthetic as it doesn't compare to the normal stuff.

Hey... they have 2 road tracks now!

But they call up different drivers to race on the road circuits LOL!... NASCAR sucks as-s. I'll take my rally and GT enduro thank you.

As for oil... Mobil 1 is good and relatively cheap, but Amsoil is the best for the buck IMO.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
