True but it soooo cheap compared to others and I thought how bad can it be! Oh well back to the mobil 1 - might drop the old owner a message and see what grade he was using as it was working really well !

Ok guys... this morning i put some Royal Purple 10W40 with a new cooper oil filter and this is what i have noticed after 100km/s of driving:

- Car idles MUCH smoother and quieter than when using Castrol R and Nuon (comparing to when oil was first changed with both brands)

- Car warms up much quicker on cold starts than before

- Car starts quicker and easier

- Exhaust note on idle is more deep and is not lumpy/poppy anymore

- Acceleration feels 100 times smoother and responsive than Casrtol R and Nulon

In conclusion, I recommend RP for any RB motor.. over any other oil i have ever used!

ROYAL PURPLE

A+++

Sounds like a good choice you made in the end Sarkis, wat mods you running on your 33 and how many kms? The RP is sounding good, now to check on prices of this in Vic.. only one place that is remotely close.

Hey Mark, i just hit 70k and my mods are:

- 3" Split dump ---> Hiflow 4" Steel CAT ----> 3" CAT back with resonator ----> 4" cannon

Dyno'ed 165rw/kw with every thing else STOCK! (7psi) and misfiring coils...

since my dyno i have:

- Replaced coil packs

- Turbotech set to 9psi

it feels that i have gained easily another 10 - 20 rw/kw with the extra boost and fresh coil packs...

Next step:

- FMIC

- APEXi PFC + tune

- Pod with CAI

I will always use RP for every service... highly recommended! Car feels brand new! Its unbelievable the difference it made...

Sarkis

Yep use a mineral oil for run-in, definitely. During run-in you actually WANT the engine to wear, and grind off all the high points so it turns smoothly. After a while switch to synth so it doesn't wear out :nuke:

Yea the Castrol 5W30 will be fine, another decent mid level oil is Valvoline SynPower... just make sure you do regular changes every 5000kms or 3 months which ever comes first... personally i would be using a higher quality full synthetic in any turbo motor such as Royal Purple, Mobil 1, Redline and Motul...

Cheers

hey guyss

i got a R32 GTS-T

mild mods, not much

will see how it performs on dyno in 2 weeeks :laugh:>_<:laugh:

not sure wat oil previous owner had as im first owner since japan arrival.

but i get my car tuned by bel garage in syd and they advise elf 10w50

so ive been using this since

its pretty damnn good, havnt had any troubles with it at all.

tell me wat u guys think bout it

Hey Guys,

Just wondering what oil i should be running now that its warming up :)

I think i used to use Castrol Type R synth around this time last year, from memory... does anyone know the weight and viscosity of the Castrol Type R?

I think the mechanic used Penrite 10w60 or 10w70 when he did the timing belt change 5,000km's ago...

10w60 - does that sound ok for summer in a 140,000km+ engine?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
