I just bought an R33 GTR V Spec that just got imported from Japan and i'm wanting to do an oil change but was unsure what synthetic oil to use.

Have been looking at using Nulon hi tech fast flowing synthetic 10w 40 on the advise of a mate but just wanted confirmation.

Nulon 10w40 is a decent oil but way over-priced for a semi-synthetic. Spend the extra 10-15 and go with motul 8100 xcess, or whatever the new one is, or royal purple fully synth for the same price (if you can find it).

Edited by Galois

Nulon 10w40 "high tech whatever" shit states on the back that it's 100% synth, not "fully synth"

that being said, the waxes and shit in there are classed as synthetic, so it may be one of the 100% but actually 75% synthetics. Either way, I'm running it and there's been no issues, I'm yet to see how it comes out though.

Haven't personally but all my workshop customers love it, they use it in every car they can. Should go well in your car, do let us know :)

thats good to hear, $32 and in stock at autobarn :)

will be going in tmrw

Nice to hear, give us a report in 5000km :)

It should run much thesame as Sougi, it's all the same viscosities and some of the additives...plus some that Sougi didn't have.

Sougi is very deceptive, it looks like regular $5 XMP (XTR whatever) shite. I've been running Sougi S6000 full synth in my GTR for acouple weeks and for all intents and purposes it feels like just like my old oil (Motul X-Cess 5w-40) but interested to see the condition of the oil is (compared to the Motul changes) when it comes to changing the oil.

gw oil lol we sell that at Woolworths. I thought its some cheap shit stuff.

Going Motul 300v for my next oil change. Been on Royal Purple for too long, want something new!

lol yes and quite rightly...I'll never forgive GW for doing that to the brand. That Woolworths spec oil is good at what it does, i.e keep old pieces of shite running into the ground, obviously a different drop of oil to the more expensive GW oils :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
