Hey guys, i got some new oil to trial on my r33 gtst today, some mobil 1 0w40.....thing is they only sell in 4l packs......from what i hear after fully draining the oil these skylines need up to 4.5 litres!.....do i need to buy another one or not???

By the way, i usually remove filter, drain oil, add filter, then do up the the sump and re-add new oil (all 4l at the same time)

is this a good way to do it or not?, also does the engine need to idle for awhile after adding new oil.....

I will get a 20 ltr drum if i were you. It works out to be much cheaper. I got a 20ltr drum straight from the depot.

check you oil level on the dipstick in the morning before you start your engine. And if its below the full mark top it up. dont pour all at once pur in bit by bit and check the dip stick. Good choice in using mobil

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
