I was desperate to get a change done today so I just got the HPR 10. My oil reeked of fuel :(

niZmO_Man my (local) Autobarn had 10 Tenths Premium but unfortunately not the Premium 0W-50 which is what Penrite was recommending for me.

I’ll be getting some Racing 10 (10W-40) from Repco as per the suggestions above.

Thanks guys!

i use 10/40 tens racing with no oil control mods, car is regular daily and gets limiter bashing on the track days

picked up 4 bottles at repco for 55

try 10/40, then try 0-5w-50 on your next oil changed after that and note how much oil has been consumed

went from castrol to everyday penrite with the same grade on sisters daily and has fixed the power band issues it had

I use pretty much same have 250rwkw on my 34GTT and use 5w-40 even when taking out to track for drifting. I am going to put the 10w-50 when I head out to matsuri as it will be hotter then and a lot more track time seen than usual

Engine : Nulon hi tech fast flowing 10W40 synthetic + one bottle of Nulon E20. - Very smooth.

Gearbox : Nulon Semi-Synthetic 75W-90 Smooth Shift. - Tightened the box + easier cold shift / less crunch.

Diff : Nulon SAE 90. - Tightened up and stopped a reversing clunk.

Probably posted this before but all of these have improved my car. (Daily Driven)

Very Happy. :yes:

i cant say i know much but as far as going thicker grade with no oil control mods it might leave you with more oil in the head not draining back to bottom end due to thickness

others may have actual answers to this.

Can anyone tell me what is a safe oil temp for my r32 gtst? its a drift car with basic mods like a r34 neo turbo, hks intercooler, turbo back exhaust and a good cold air intake... also has some cooling mods such as a triple core alloy radiator, r34 viscous fan with shroud and large trust oil cooler with earls braided lines etc.

The oil is getting to 100 degrees very quickly, I always stop around then and let the car cool down but would be nice if I stay on the track for longer :) I was using penrite hpr 10 (synthetic 10w50) but have tried hpr 15 (15w60) and that made no difference.

Is there oils that are safe to use at say 120 degrees? Or could I possibly have an oil pump thats getting tired or some other issue?

any help would be appreciated :)

THanks

Oil temp of around 100 is pretty safe/normal I would have thought? My car sits on 80* day to day, and gets up to 90-95 quite quickly if I take if for a bit of a blast, and also comes down quite quickly once its been driven normally. I have a oil cooler in the front right guard that gets decent airflow

Im looking at using Penrite for my next oil change, seems to be quite popular

I haven't tried the 10 tenths range yet, would a different oil actually lower the temps? or just safe to use at higher temps? will a thinner oil cause less friction thus lowering the temp? I also change the oil about every 4 drift events...

I would be happy if it stayed at 100 degrees but it will keep climbing unless I go into the pits :( hottest I've let it get was 120

That's actually a pretty good point didn't even think of that. I may be better keeping my thinner oil since I don't have issues with burning of the oil or blow by

Yeah give Racing 10 (10W-40) a go. I think they have a thicker oil in that product line. These are $75/bottle, but they should be more stable when running at 100deg.

My car is street driven, but switching from HPR to SIN I found the temps stayed a little bit lower (barely detectable).

Still using nulon 10 40,near enough to 430000 ks now,fantastick stuff.

:thumbsup:

Genelle, try the Nulon Semi-Synthetic 75W-90 Smooth Shift (Gearbox) and Nulon SAE 90 (Diff).

Fantastick Stuff Indeeds. :wave:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
