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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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 :)

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • 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
