As BB says, horses for courses. I am more regularly at 120-130 degrees towards the end of a session whereas he is more around the 105-115 I'm guessing.

spot on. On track I'm up around the 115 mark at max, but oil pressure is still a steady 6 bar at anything above 3,000rpm (which is all the time).

I wouldn't worry too much about winter oil/summer oil your car pretty much runs the same temps summer or winter, maybe water temp get's up a bit in summer traffic. but even startup temps would only be 10degrees difference at most.

maybe try the 10W40 one trackday and see what the oil pressure is like?

Sorry I meant 15w50. It's the 300v Competition. I have been thinking about using the Chrono for winter but my car has always run fairly hot so I appreciate the extra thickness at high temp. I probably should use a better quality oil cooler but the one I have works ok and the 15w50 gives me the protection I need.

I do notice quite high oil pressure when cold and am particularly careful when warming up the car because when using a thicker oil like this I think the turbo is more suseptible to damage due to lack of oil flow. I never boost at all before the water is up to temp and would be lucky to hit 0.3bar before the oil temp has risen.

Thanks for the explaination.

I do use the 15w50 300v Competion oil, for my R32 GTR. Just Jap use it for thier GTR's that run in Targa and seems to be good.

I spoke the guy at Green Goanna and he said that he does not stock the Motul brand oil. But he suggested to use Shell Helix Ultra 15w50 for $205 incl GST for 20L. The Shell oil is used in alot of the rally cars.

Has anyone used this oil?

Cheers

Guys try Harold at performancelub.com.... Royal purple is 10.90$ for a quart (946ml)... this guy imports his stuff form America.

he is located in Melbourne, but even with postage he is cheaper then most places.

Cheers.

I picked up some Mobil 1 0w40 for 54$ (i picked it up though).

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
