Gtr Performance Q's

320awkw

WOW so with these I could safely run 14-16psi quite happily with the right support systems. 300 would be the most I'd ever go for, the bottom end is good for that right?

[andz]

so r u getting the gtr or u're just yapping

but its good info for us to read

[No Crust Racing]

This Fri/Sat is the pickup day depending on how quick the banks move with cheques (gotta cash the one for my car then get the other cheque for the R)

I'll put up pics n so forth when I get it. 3 cars worth of mates are coming down road trip style to get it, lol.

Look foward to seeing some pics, good luck with the purchase.

Well the banks are a pack of useless.... you get me... I finally collected the car and had no issues bringing it home from Melbourne (bout 3.5hrs from me). Will get some pics up soon!

Got a few maintenance style questions now...

-Is the Nissan 7.5-30w oil sufficient for a car that's basically stock other than a turbo back exhaust and an air filter?

- Does anyone have a problem with the standard Nissan Fuel Filter?

- What fluid are people using in the Diff's (mine is a V-Spec so Active LSD if that matters) Box has just had redline put in it so not worried about that ATM.

- Are standard copper NGK's (as listed on the website) sufficient if I'm happy to change them with the oil every 5,000k's? I read that some people gap them to .8 regardless of mods level.

Anything else I should be thinking of doin in my first fluid flush/inspection etc beyond (odometer reads 35xxxk's)

- Air, Oil and Fuel Filter

- Engine, Diff, Brake/Clutch/Power Steer Fluid/Oil Check Replacement?

Cheers

Quick Edit: What is used in the transfer case?

Quick answers:

Yes, but just go & buy some Mobil 1 5W50.

- Does anyone have a problem with the standard Nissan Fuel Filter?

No. A Ryco one is ok too.

- What fluid are people using in the Diff's (mine is a V-Spec so Active LSD if that matters) Box has just had redline put in it so not worried about that ATM.

- Are standard copper NGK's (as listed on the website) sufficient if I'm happy to change them with the oil every 5,000k's? I read that some people gap them to .8 regardless of mods level.

Why change them every 5000kms? Good plugs should last much, much longer than that. So buy some decent ones & then you can largely forget about them for a long while. If it is stock, gap them to what Nissan recommends.

Replace the coolant...

I've posed these questions to UAS also, this is the response.

-Are standard NGK copper plugs fine if I’m planning on changing them with the oil every 5,000k’s? - Yes OK although Nissan Platinum and NGK Iridium are better.

-Is the standard 7.5-30w Nissan Oil fine for a car with an air filter and turbo back exhaust? Odometer reads 35xxx - 10w 40 or 50 weight for bigger hp and for racing.

-Same goes for the fuel filter, is the standard Nissan one a good enough choice? - We use Bosch fuel filter.

-What fluid is best to use in the LSD’s? The gearbox already has Redline Lightweight Shockproof in it, mine is a V-Spec model so has the Active LSD in the rear. -Redline synthetic cant’ remember the exact type off hand need to check with our mechs.

- Since I don't have big HP is a 50w oil a bit over the top and how much is the mobile 1 stuff mentioned?

- At almost $20 a plug for the nissan platinums and similar value for the NGK iridiums they don't seem to represent great value, my previous skyline had them and after 13,000k's they showed fairly standard signs of deterioration - what should expect to get from them?

- Any object to using a bosch/ryco fuel filter?

- Anyone have further info regarding the diff oils?

Disagree with Mobil1 5w50.

Just go with a fully synthetic 0w30, 5w30 or 10w30 whatever you can find. I wouldn't change to a thicker oil unless you find you are burning a shit load of it and then you know somethings up anyway.

Did the guy who sold it to you tell you what kind of oil he'd been using?

[gun32gtr]

where are ya pics want to see your gtr

[No Crust Racing]

I was using Fuchs SuperSyn in my last Skyline, it's 5-40w full synthetic I think but it's not cheap at around $75 for 5L

Atm all I have are the classified pics and they don't do the car justice so I'll take some this weekend =D

[No Crust Racing]

Any info on LSD oil guys?

I've noticed, that on full boost the stock boost guage gets pretty close to 7, if not actually on 7, I was under the impression that would be about 13.5psi... but I also though stock was 9psi.. I took a quick look at the hose going into the boost solenoid and it still feels like it has the restrictor where the yellow line is. So firstly, 7 seems high right? Secondly, stock is 9psi?

Thoughts?

[andz]

maybe u dont know the rules around here

pics or ban

[No Crust Racing]

LoL, OK OK here's two of the originals, not taken at my place and not cleaned by me (There's not even any tyre shine on it!!)

I'll have pics this weekend after I give it some ActionDan car wash love and take some nice pics in the sun.

Still waiting on responses to boost and LSD fluid questions plz!

Cheers

[nizmo_freek]

Very nice!!!! post some more pics hehe

[No Crust Racing]

Cheers mate will do once I've got some good ones this weekend.

Still keen to hear back about my boost and LSD oil questions...

[TrentGTR]

I was exactly like you when i bought my 33R Vspec! Im boosting at stock 1bar but after some hurting (when the turbos get really hot) it decides to down-boost! It goes down to 0.5 bar.

Pisses you off when a cocky V8 driver pulls up next to you on a hot day!

I want new turbos!! arghhh

[No Crust Racing]

I've opened another thread specifically related to the boost issue.

Any assistance re the LSD fluid choice and capacity would be great though.

Cheers

[No Crust Racing]

After spending some time finding a faulty AFM I'm not back to fluids (put some new IRITOP's in it so plugs are done). I've got some Fuch's SuperSyn 5w-40 to go in this weekend but would also like to do both the diff's, how much do they take and what are people using?

Cheers
