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.)

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
