My gtr has used Castrol Edge 10w-60 since the previous owner had the motor built by Willall Racing.

I've done 2 oil changes (with nissan filters) in the 5 months/1000km of me owning it and never had any problems.

Have you got a oil cooler yet?

Hopefully I will have mine before the drags.

40+ every day during january, sometimes hotter

holy bollocks. thats pretty hot. :) if you really wanna get an accurate answer your best bet would be to get in contact with the oil company themselves. They do rigorous testing with their oils. send them an email on what type of car it is, engine type, and they'll also wannna know the different weather patterns in your location. sometimes we do it where i work. were swapping over the oil in one of our ships which is coming over from Alaska which will now be stationed in Northern Territory and surrounding asian countries. We also have to upgrade the cooling system too.

This might be helpful for some.

Let me know if the link doesnt work..

Buying good and reliable oil can save you $$$ of engine problems and ect.

Oil just aint oil. The stuff kittles use in my car is some castrol 10-40 crap and i can chew it in 1,200k's easy driving.

What ever you do Leeboi, dont use cheap shit. Tho ive heard to use castrol edge formula R 10w60 man. Its heavyish and would decrease how much you chew. Give it a wirl. Im going to go towards Motul 300V. But im still got 3000 k's to decide :action-smiley-069:

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
