Hey guyz, im finally getting the oil changed in my car and have a decided to use Motul Turbolight 4100... Well i use it for everyday use but my car will be seeing the track in few days and that is the main reason im changing the oil now... But i need it for all round performance which would be track as well as Day to day!!

So what vicosity oil would u guyz recommend?? I was a little confused with the 0w40 and 10w40 when the mechanic asked me today!! Or should i be using some other vicosity!!

And what sort of oil filter should i pick up and from where...

BTW i have a R34 GTT pulling 180KW at the Rear...

And what brake fluid should i buy , will just top that up as its a little low...

Hey all.I am currently using Penrite 10W 40 full synthetic.Seems to be ok.Decent price.Do you think Motul 4100 turbolite is better, worse, or about on par with this oil?I change my oil every 5000 kms and most of this is highway driving.

Put the motul 8100 in it, more expensive but better oil.

I'm useing the same and I just changed it after 4 months and about 2500ks all short journeys and it seemed a bit shagged which surprised me , may have just been appearance though the oil pressure and general running still seemed good how is yours on changing ?

I noticed the price has gone up a bit as well I paid $48.00 for it 3 months ago and it was $63.00 at Autobarn a week ago. (5lt)

FFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRkit. :)

Yeh changed it yesterday and seemed as thick as i would expect.Like u said, oil pressure was good the whole time i had it in the engine for 5000kms.Maybe its just doing a good job of removing contaminates to look so shagged.I really want to stick to a 10W40 as i think this is a good viscosity for our engines so im just seeing if there is anything in this price range thats better.A lot of people rate 4100 turbolite so i would like to know whether this so called penrite full synthetic is as good as the Motul.As for the price,i still paid around the $50 mark or else i would have gone something else.

Just got mobil 1 0w40, haven't put it in yet..

anyone read the back down the bottom on the right....can't remember what it says

but it says "Nissan GTR"

just thought i'd tell everyone

maybe cause the 35 GTR uses mobil 1 0-40 as factory oil?

this may be obvious to some due to the turbo- non turbo factor. but why is it I'm told by tuners etc that oil temp around or above 120 degrees is time to start easing off and cooling down, even with top of the range motul.. I know couple of guys with ford F6, and 6.2 maloo, that run at up to 120-130 with normal driving and up to 150 when given a bit, and hsv dealer said up to 150 is fine...

whats the diff

I contacted the Australian distributor of Motul recently about my R32 GTR and using 8100 X-Cess (100% synthetic) at the track. Basically said 130c is safe but not for prolonged periods of time. Tuners are correct, above 120 you want to back off. Typical Australian performance cars, can't handle the conditions of the country they were built in. What oil do HSV+FPR recommend? 150c would be hilarius recommendation from that HSV dealer if they're running on shitty oil like magnatec, GTX etc.

I put in Pennrite 10-40 to try in the car when I bought it last month. Engine temp was around 80-90 but it was winter at the time when driving. Think I'll try Motul next, Repsol for sure is great stuff and obviously Elf as we and all other teams use all three brands in our bikes which are always on the limiter. Not sure how easy it is to get repsol in oz but will look into this. Might try caltex havoline one day too as I heard its not bad.

Can anyone tell me how much oil my skyline r33 gts-turbo will need gonna let it drain over now then fill it up with motul turbolight 4100 will it need the full 5 litres or more???

Also is there any recommendations for the gearbox oil whilst i am at it??

i can get a fully synthetic mazda oil that is pretty good quality 5-40 viscousity, should i use this? or stick with valvoline durablend which i think is 15-50,

i have a 32 gtst

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
