I'm using Motul Turbolight 4100 ATM in my 33 (same engine) but am going to start using Elf's 10W-50 full synthetic oil. A friend of mine changed his 200SX over to the stuff from the motul & he won't go back. Not much dearer than the 4100 which is only a semi-synthetic, but well worth the little extra.

15000 Km's is a bit far for 1 lot of oil on a turbo car, you should always change your oil at 5000 km if u want your turbo to last a reasonable amount of time, not to mention protecting hydraulic lifters & the variable valve timing gear amoungst other things too.

i know 5 thou is wat it should be changed at, and yea but that 15 thou is wat my mechanic recomended and they would talk shit to me, im goin to monitor the oil and keep trach of it all arond the 3K km through to 5K km though, so im no way known gonna let it f**k anything up, He uses royal purple in every thing he knows, i guess ill let u all know, cheers

Oil servicing is more dependant on the type and condition of the car (or more specifically the engine) than the type of oil that's stuck in the thing. It may start off as a better oil, but none of them will magically hold their original properties for 10,000 klicks more than another oil.

I'd say maybe at best you may squeeze an extra 1000 kays out of the better oil simply because it (allegedly) starts off as a higher grade of oil. All oil gets carbon deposits and other contaminants that the engine produces in it just as fast, & this more than anything is why it needs changing regularly anyway.

I haven't heard of Royal Purple myself, I'm dreading what you're spending on the stuff!!

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
