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:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)?
