Any brand will work fine, some just last longer than others. I still believe you are better off using a cheaper ($50) oil and changing it every 5k rather than spending twice that and trying to strin

Royal Purple 10W-50, warm it between your hands for a few seconds then apply it to the area at the base of your shaft between your balls ..about as valid as any other opinion in this thread

F1 still use monograde 10 weight oils, hence the need to get the engine warm before starting it. Nothing stone age about it...

I was using Motul xcess 5w-40 before i tried the gulf, basically in a nutshell.

Pressure would build up quicker with the motul oil

The gulf western made the car feel "lethargic", almost like it was slower to rev up

Otherwise that was it, it just felt different to drive....I mean I could be crazy and it could all be placebo, but there was definitely a difference in the way the car revved.

Ill see how i go with the Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40.

It's a different grade, of course it would feel different. How often would it be at hot oil temps this time of year...

Do you have an oil temp gauge?

Pouring new 10w40 into an engine today it was like honey...

Well both grades were rated the same, 5w-40 - is that what you are referring too scott?

The R33 GTR has the stock oil temp gauge, once the oil gets up to temp, it seemed to feel the same as the motul (100degree's). Just at lower temps it felt like i described. Where the motul was different at lower temps.

Its been a while since I had the motul in it, so looking forward to seeing how the Shell stacks up against the two, as its priced somewhat in between them both.

Sorry Booki, I just checked and you are correct, the GW synx 6000 is indeed 5W40, I checked the old Sougi 6000 accidentally which is a 10w40 and the Synx 3000 which is also a 10w40.

I haven't had any issues with any of these grades feeling lethargic, although I suspect the VQ's run a higher oil temp as standard.

Penrite make it clear on their website that the '10 Tenths Racing 10 (10W-40)' is a synthetic mixed of group 4 and 5 which is great, but my local doesn't stock it!

So I've got to settle for the HPR 10 (10W-50). I've tried searching this thread but can't find an answer as to what group Penrite HPR is.

Anyone know?

I bought some Penrite Enviro+ 5W40 to try next change, full synth and SN rated so it should be fine with ethanol. 10 Tenths is hard to find.

Really most autobahns stock it regularly. I swapped from 10 tenths to royal purple and found it ran pretty well in the 33.

There is also Premium 5 (5W-60)

If you local store doesn't have it, go to another one (if you can).

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
