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?

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
