I just found this

e-monitor

I will be giving this a go after my next oil change and post up some results.

I was running 300v but just can't justify it with the all the daily commuting I do. I have just changed to Nulon 10-40 Fast flowing stuff, will see how it goes in 5000km.

How did you go with the Nulon mate?

/\ hmmm sounds interesting it would be cool if a group off skyline owners got this and posted there results so that ppl can compare oils and also find out if there is anything wrong with there car

im going 2 call them 2moro and see what the deal with this thing is

Hmm, this post clears alot of the air about oils.

Note: The guys at Autobahn don't know jack.

Note: You are generalising and don't know how to spell.

Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40 and K&N Filters here.

Seems to be doing the job fine. I don't seem to be losing any oil, which is a plus!

I haven't yet, it's been in the car for a couple of changes now but haven't done the UOA yet

I put Nulon in my latest change...

Reading the bottle, it achieves a API rating of SM (highest current rating) and a ACEA rating of A3/B4 which is right up there... and yes it is definately 100% synthetic

let me know how u go

I just did my first oil change since I bought my car. (5,000ish km's)

Put Motul 300V Chrono 10W40 in it.

The oil smells bubblegum flavoured! And the car smells like it when it's running too, it's cool!

Jay Leno, world renown car guy and collector talk about his using top quality Redline gear oil for his car and bike collection. Very interesting video.

I've been using Nulon 10/40 Synthjetic Hi Flow for the last 3 oil changes , this time around it cost me $60.00 from Cheaper Auto, if it goes up again in price I'm going to be looking round for an alternative at that price I may as well go the few extra bucks and go for something from Motul.

I'm also finding the Nulon seems to apear to age quickly I'd only done 2500ks & 5 months since my last change and if I hadn't known I would have the oil at twice that age, the engine is tight (80000ks) so I doubt theres any excesive internal wear to contribute extra crap--mind you I'm a bit fussy when it comes to oil-- :)

Im doing an oil change tommorrow on my wifes Stagea.

Just read the manual, says oil should be 5-30W.

Bit of a bugger cause I stocked up on some Castrol Magnatec 10-40W while it was cheap (Might start feeding it to my R31).

Think the guys doing the 10,000KM service have been using Castrol Magnatec Professional 5-40W. After 5000KMs the oil still has a bit of browny colour in it but engine only done 82K. The oil in my R31 goes black pretty quickly but its done closer to 400K.

The oil looked a bit browny on the dip stick. But when drained it looked very black.

I bought some Penrite HPR 5 semi synthetic 5W-40. 5L cost me around $45 from SuperCheap, Thought id give it a try and Penrite is Australian Owned yay!

my stag has been apparently running on the sin5 but i'll be changing to the nulon this week i think

penrite seems to have done well but its pretty dark and only about 4 months old i think

i had nulon in my 32 and it seemed good

Hey guys,

We all know that Motul 300V is grade V and its one of the "best" but at over $120 per oil change, I just cant afford it.

So, I've since used Nulon Fast Flow 10W-40... and it seemed okay.

I've been reading this shit so much and could never make up my mind... there was just too much hearsay.

So I took the liberty to call some oil manufacturers to get some facts:

Nulon - all their fast flow oils are group III and they dont make any group IV's, so its not a "real" synthetic

Castrol Edge 5W30 is a group III, the 0W40 is the only group IV in their range

So Nulon 10W40 was $68 for 5L (group III)

Castrol Edge 0W40 $68 for 5L also (group IV)

I think i know which one i'll be buying... anyways, just my oppinion, backed up by some facts from the manufactuer

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
