you mite also try..

castrol edge 5-30, which is like around $60bucks for 5L

mobil 1 10-50? or is it 5-40?? which is lik around $60bucks for 5L

(correct if i'm wrong...)

these are the type of oils to use that are available everywer.......

but u can also get redline oil, castrol 0-30, and mobil 0-40 oil aswel

but ther gona cost ya!!!!!

but its up to you...

u need to identify.....

wat the condition of your engine?

how many k's on the engine?

wat type of driving will u be doing? -> stop/start..city...highway..drags/drift...or all as mentioned?

i have been using 5w-50 mobile 1... around $68 for 5 litres....Seems to be good...but i think 50 is a bit thick for street use... always comes out dark brown/black after 5000km which is a good sign... as it means its been cleaning out the insides of your engine...which mobil 1 is well known to do =)

Going to give mobil 1 0-40 a shot in the next few weeks, got about another 1000km before i hit 5000kms... tho its around 90$ for 5 litres i think...

Theres alot of debate over oil... most people are loyal to the ones they use... as long as u get a fully synthetic one, and change it reguarly at 5000kms... shouldnt have any problems.. Dont get anything over 50w if its for street use only.. even 50 is pushing it a bit, hence why im going down to 40. The cold weight (the lower number) doesnt really matter so much... as long as its not over 10/15... You shouldnt be pushing the car when its cold anyway...

Hope this helps!!

Best for R33 GTS / GTR or any turbo vehicles i would say viscosity of 15W50.

You get quick engine response yet you dont loose out on torque.

Im using MOTUL 300V Competition 15W50. Its good for hot engines and hot climates.

Ive tried, TORCO 5W40 and claims it gains HP.

Its true but on mid rpm range onwards i tend to loose out on torque. I feel it instantly. On the lower rpm it works great and after 3000km the TORCO oil tends to loose its characteristic.

Oils ive tried, REDLINE, TORCO, MOTUL, Q8, ROYAL PURPLE and other high performance engine oils. From my experience on road and track driving, i will go for MOTUL 300V series anytime.

Just my humble opinion and experience on engine oils.

Cheers!

    • 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)?
