First of all Welcome to SAU...

Both these oils are one of the best on the market, however Red Line in my opinion and the opinion of other mech/tuners I have spoken to, is over priced and not nearly as good as RP...

I just bought a 5L jug of RP 10W40 for my oil change and have found them at the following outlets:

Peps Auto - $75

Autobarn - $89 (will price match)

Your onto the hi end synthetics there >_<. I run the Redline System right through and it has been Excellent. Car runs slightly lower temps under same conditions.

At about 135 dollars from Bursons for 5 litres because of odd size imperial packaging you need to think about it though.

For a skyline you need 1 x 4litre pack and a 1 x 1 litre pack.

Hi Bro,

I know I could get Redline from burson for about $27.00/quart. Me find it rather expensive, so trying to find out from experience forumers if they knew of any other supplier that could supply at a lower price, or the lowest price. Tryin to get a bang for my bucks.

Thank you for your feedback & help. Cheers !

redline is a better oil than royal purple it is composed of a more expensive base which partially explains its more expensive price. it is the best oil you can buy. search for the goods on oils thread for more info, but i would say that you can get a similar performance oil to royal purple for less money.

HOw about Kendall Racing oil? It is made from pure Pensylvanian Crude and is one of the best oils around. There is actually a warning on the packaging stating that it must not be used to run an engine in as the engine wont run in due to the oil having such good lubricating properties.

Kendall is made by Conoco, pretty cheap and good. Mostly group III oil though.

Ok guys... this morning i put some Royal Purple 10W40 with a new cooper oil filter and this is what i have noticed after 100km/s of driving:

- Car idles MUCH smoother and quieter than when using Castrol R and Nuon (comparing to when oil was first changed with both brands)

- Car warms up much quicker on cold starts than before

- Car starts quicker and easier

- Exhaust note on idle is more deep and is not lumpy/poppy anymore

- Acceleration feels 100 times smoother and responsive than Casrtol R and Nulon

In conclusion, I recommend RP for any RB motor.. over any other oil i have ever used!

ROYAL PURPLE

A+++

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
