Hi Guys,

Just wondering which oil is better for my R32GTR. Motul 300v Chrono 10w40 or the 4100 turbolight. My cars only mods are exhaust and coilover suspension and will stay this way for a while and running stock boost. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

300V is great oil but probably overkill on a street car (others would beg to differ :dry:)

4100 is only a semi-synthetic, which means it's about 15% synthetic and 85% dino juice.

I would go for the Motul 8100 5W-40 myself, either that or the 300V and do an oil analysis at 5000km to find out what it's like. You would probably find the 300V will last for extended oil change intervals if you're not being hard on it (track work).

For what it's worth, I've read that the 4100 is better for the older motors. It was something about the detergents in the full synthetics cleaning too much of the gunk accumulated in the bores and suffering blow-by as a result.

Considering you have a stock motor, you might aswell go between the two products. The 8100 would do a good job. 300V is overkill and the 4100 is nothing out of the ordinary.

cowie165, thats an old wives tale. Its like saying you should warm your car up for 10 minutes each morning.

i've been using the motul 4100 10w40 for a while, no complaints here. Though i'm thinking of moving to a higher weight 10w50 or something, so might give mobil1 a shot.

hard to compare 4100 to 300v chrono, because the 300v is more than double the price or something...

I found this link ...Although it dosent relate totaly to motul its very interesting the differences between the ratings ...

Maybe we all should be running Diesel Synthets :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
