yes, a coopers filter

Jst wanna say that 2-3days now and the oil pressure is perfect only a second after startup (even cold) compared to the drift filters 2-3seconds.

Ill try knn and/or greddy next time as well, but until the ill stick with my 'coopers' for 7bux

I know my car and the engine feels much more smooth when it wants to rev up..

About half way down the page.

Hey,

Which site are you quoting there? Could definitely use that more detailed info to go into the oil sticky thread, the summary page is a little short of detail at the moment....could do with a detailed second post or similar...

problem with the real cheap filters can be that the insides of them colapse, or they just don't filter as fine. I have the Drift one in and don't have the issues with the pressure that Johnny has. Also the magnet in there adds that little bit of piece of mind.

Each to their own I guess though. Use what ever you think works best with your car :blink:

Interesting i did a wear check ages ago on a customers engine when testing the drift/ coopers/ kn filters and the drift came up with a far better filtration /vs startup pressure. i wonder if you were unlucky and got a "bad" one. Ive used nearly 75 odd drift filters now with zero issues and only warrant my "built" engines if they are used at every service.

Its funny as i just had to swap over a ryco Z411 (i didnt have a drift one left and could not get one there and then) on a customers Jzx100 as it was doing the same thing... fitted a drift one and problem fixed..... i think there is always a chance of getting a "problem" filter no matter the brand.

I always use 8100 in my 33, but think i might change to the Chrono. Use the DRIFT filters too and never had a problem, always slightly fill and soak the filter before i put it on.

You think Motul would give us shares or something with how many times they've been mentioned in this thread!

Hmmm it was really weird man, i was quite excited at the drift filter with the magnet and locknut at the top for easy fitting and removal but the oil pressure thing really got to me......i hope that it was only a bad one but i dont want to risk my engine on trial and error filters which may be good or bad.

Ive always bought heaps of drift gear in the past and everthing has broken: Gauges etc

Just to say that its not just a misunderstanding, creatd ms even told me it took too long for the light to turn off.

Im glad you've used over 75 now without issue but i just cant risk it again, knn or greddy for me in future.

Just finished putting in motul 300v chrono!

Picked up a couple of bottles from Status Tuning.

The engine idles so smoothly and quietly now! Cant hear anything, well worth the money.

Status Tuning is having a group buy for 300v (only for victoria), have a look in the groupbuy section; i think they selling for $89 for 4ltrs

I did my first (on this car) oil change on my R33 GTSt today and used Motul 8100 5-40 and a Drift magnetic filter as recommended in this here thread. Now my oil pressure is a little lower than it was previous to the oil change.

Can anybody confirm if the below (lifted from skylineowners.com) is correct (I searched this forum to no avail)?

If so, then I don't have a problem now and it just means my oil pressure was a little on the high side before.

According to the manual (in kg/cm2 same as the dash gauge) they are:-

RB20E is 1.0 at idle, 3.8@2000RPM and 4.8@6000RPM

RB25DE is 1.0 at idle, 3.3@2000RPM and 5.3@6000RPM

RB25DET is 1.0 at idle, 3.5@2000RPM and 5.6@6000RPM

RB26DETT is 1.5 at idle, 3.0@2000RPM and 4.6@6000RPM

The oil you had in it was probably thicker than the 8100 you put in (and probably old). It will be fine. Climate and viscosity's of oils will affect oil pressures, don't worry about what the manual says.

Some good news on the Mobil oil front - for those in Sydney .

There is a place at Legarno in southern Sydney that is planning to stock bulk supplies of Mobil 4T 15W50 synthetic and that's great news for me .

In time you should be able to rock up there with a clean oil container and buy 5 liters or whatever of this direct from I expect 44 gal drums .

Normally you can only buy this oil , if you can find it , in 4 or 1 liter containers which isn't price friendly for car use .

People I trust tell me that HRT used to use this stuff in their V8's and I think Porka specify it as well in some cases .

Stay tuned in a couple of weeks , cheers Adrian .

15w50 = too thick for a street car

i get all the fluids i need from...

www.performancelub.com - surpised it's not more well known.

where to people get their UOA's done and how much?

if that's edge sport, then it's even worse at it's not even synthetic. If you car saw the track all the time, maybe, but 10w60 is silly for the street.

I change between 0w30 and 5w30, 85K car with no changes to oil cooling (Most likely more) - You buy a real good oil like, Motul 300V, Redline, etc.. you choose a nice close number (the larger the difference, the more the oil is compromised from the start, to a small extent) For a street car where do you want the most protection? At start up and cold temps. So why run something as thick as 15w50? Oil theories have changed a lot since our cars were made and it doesn't mean we can't take advantages of those advances even if our cars are on the older side.

if anyone needs motul chrono 300V in syd I'm doing a group buy. and I'll even do 5 ltire lots of it too if you bring a container so you don't have to buy 6 or 8 litre like usual. prices are very good, a little better than the vic buy even I think. :D thread will be up shortly, but if you're in need send me pm.

hi was wondering who ever runs e85 have you changed you oil to a thicker oil since it thinins it out. or keep t the same?? would it make much difference

Who told U that?

Petrol thins out oil if diluted in much the same way. I'm not sure of the boiling points of both but I know they're both lower than water.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
