Just wondering if this oil is any good? I know you all recommend much more expensive oils but things are tight for me at the moment. The guy at the shop did say this oil was recently compared to Mobil 1 Synthetic and was superior.

Has anyone heard anything bad about this OIL concerning Skylines??

I am draining the shit oil out tomorrow. I have blown no smoke and cant see any leaking anywhere but on the dipstick it is getting lower. I have heard this means the motor does not like the oil it currently contains.

Also what is the model number of the NGK sparkplugs ( the normal plugs) for the 'line and what should I gap them at (I have stocker except for air filter)

Thanks people.

number for plugs is BCPR6E from memory but u should recheck

u can get it from Marlows / Repco and get a gapping tool as well ($2) and gap them to 0.8 coz they come gapped at 1.2

just under 4 bucks for one and havent had any issues with it so far (no misfiring) seems to be doing well

yeah my plugs were changed just recently - nissan come out with platinums and a few mechanics will recomend them to u but normal $4 do just as well. :D

Ive got Redline in the Skyline but my 300ZX has Visco in it and i havent had any probs with that oil :)

Mobil 1 is tried and tested amongst us so it is the go. Others have their preferences but all go for the well known brand name stuff... So there is something in that.

Plantiums are a matter of opinion. If I change normal NGK R's every 20,000 I am still saving from buying the Platiums.

Your choice.

I just bought 5L of visco 5000. The specs look good on paper (https://www.distributor.bp.com.au/wls/servl...?cid=13&scid=14), but the true test is how it works out in real life use.

I've had enough of paying $50+ for Mobil 1, so I'm switching if this stuff delivers the goods. (Unless Strich9ine can get us all a piece of that $35 Mobil action :P ).

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
