Royal Purple FTW!!! I have run it in my past 3 cars and never had a problem with it what so ever. Oh and its a different coloured oil...i like colours :dry:

It walso did real well in quite a few oil tests. Royal purple and Penrite sin were up the top if i remember right.

Shell Helix Ultra - full synthetic 5w40 I beliebv the grade is.

Very good oil and well priced.

If you want to spend a little more I would go with the new refined CASTROL EDGE 0w40, also fully synthetic.

"Full synthetic engine oil recommended for the latest technology and prestige engines, including sports cars and luxury sedans."

Or if you have an older motor, you'd be best to use the CASTROL EDGE Sport 10w60.

"Full synthetic engine oil recommended for highly stressed competition engines, older technology sports cars and luxury sedans."

Dont know if we get that purple wtuff over here, put in some 5-40 fully synth, seems to have quitened down the noisy tappetts

40's too thick for running a turbo. Try sumthing like a 30 weight. 5's ok on the lower end, 0 would be better for starting. Think even the manual for an RB recommends a 30, sumone may be able to confirm.

There's also a sticky up top on oils.

contact royal pruple Australia directly (www.royalpurple.com.au) and if they don't have a stockist near by, they'll sell to you directly (they did so with me). I actually had my car sitting in my driveway for 10 months, and no one had started it up (despite the fact I had asked a mate to do just that!) and I got home, connected the battery, put a small amount of royal purple into the engine as a top up, on kick and it's all sweet!

It has not missed a beat or leaked while running RP.

Highly recommend.

Plenty of people say redline is better, and that may very well be true for high end applications, but if Royal Purple can be used in hot rods and drag cars (i.e. chip foose's machines) I don't see a problem with it handling my dear old RB20. Plus Royal Purple is cheaper.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
