Confused if I should go with Penrite Racing 10 10-40w or Penrite Racing 15 15-50w, Car has 81000kms on the clock with just the first stage mods, intake, front mount, exhaust, 12psi, power fc 211rwkw, thanks.

If your going to track or go for "spirited runs" in the hills i would go 15-50w.

I personally use Nulon 10w-60

No track anytime soon, but she does get quite a few "spirited runs", I thought Penrite was the way to go but just read some more and am completely confused, alot of negative for Penrite in this thread, I have been using Royal Purple 10-40, although oil pressure doesn't hold up with it, always pretty low after a nice run, also with their price hike on their oils I ain't paying $120 for a bottle of oil that I just dump every 5000kms, I'm leaning towards Nulon at the moment.

im using royal purple as well but no dramas with oil pressure, u sure its not a flakey oil pressure switch?

Ryco make a platinum filter, has to be changed after 5000 kms tho due to the super filtration. I ran one once. Seemed fine. But put full syn in and run 10,000 km intervals now so doesn't suit me

I changed to penrite 10-40w racing10 about 1000ks ago i'm happy so far good oil. I use a ryco filter not sure if they are the best, only other filter I've brought was a Drift one and it looked horrible. it had strange metal specks in it and on the thread. threw it away and got a ryco.

I genuinely am sorry but could someone please guide me to a link regarding spark plugs? I can't really seem to find anything new its all from 2006-2008 and many differences and I don't want to turn this thread into a spark plug thread aswell, thanks.

Also, just curious as to what drain plug/washers you guys use? Magnetic or OEM. Just Jap is out of stock, and my local Nissan dealer is my last resort. Where else can I source these (OEM plug+washers)? Part No.?

Lol random post is random. Get BCPR6ES-8 (~$4 each) and replace them every 30,000km.

As for everyone else confused on what oil to get, use this: Penrite PREMIUM 5 5W-60 ;)

Hey man thanks for confirming that, I was leaning towards those plugs plus I'll be replacing them every 5000 kms better than the iridium crap I'm using atm and still having to change them every 10000 kms at $160 for the set, I was just unsure of the gapping, I have yellow jacket coil packs, thanks.

Haha, Iridium crap. I can't believe I pay $20 a plug for them to be useless...

If you are fouling iridiums or melting them you have other issues, and copper plugs won't fix that, no matter how often you replace them.

There are literally pages of threads on plugs, why here?

As I mentioned before I can't really find much through search for some odd reason, iridium aren't really suited for boosted cars as their tips are thin for one and also at high heat they tend glow and that's what makes them shit themselves and also pre ignite.

My car is runs fine at 40+ psi, perhaps it's the superior fuel I use? They (NGK's) certainly aren't as shit as you make out. Perhaps you are buying them too hot for your application?

Try a google search with skylinesaustralia (then whatever you want to find.)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
