I never said anything bad about NGK it's the only brand I'd use to be honest, just saying that iridiums aren't what they all claim them to be, I'm yet to see a set that actually last their 100000 kms as they all state.

Anyways back on topic before the admins kick my bum, I'm gonna try the Penrite Racing 10 and I will post how I go with it and what I think about it compared to Royal Purple, 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.?

last time I bought washers was from here.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160648840409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I just go down to my local AB nuts and bolts, bring my sump plug with me and match up a crush washer. Doesn't have to be copper, long as its a crush type.

Copper has a bonus though, as you can anneal it in a pinch.

Up to you if you want to bother for 30 cents each from A and B

Cheers fellas!

Okay guys, just wondering if you could shed some light in this. It's most definitely been covered but every answer I find is different.. I don't want to know exactly what to put in but will these be alright?

R32 Gtst 93

This is what I've found so far

Engine oil - 5w40 HPR 100% synthetic OR ?????

2Litres Gearbox (Manual) - Redline shockproof lightweight OR a decent brand 75w90 100% synthetic

1.5Litres Diff - Motul/Shell/Castrol 100% synthetic LSD OR ?????

Thanks in advance guys!

I'd personally run Premium 5 engine oil (just bought a bottle yesterday for $70, bit hard to find these days, Racing 10 and 15 are everywhere though).

Yeah I went and bought HPR 15.

So Premium 5 - 5w40 full synthetic?

Those other fluids I mentioned would be fine?

See, so many people recommend different viscosity & weights.. I keep changing my mind....

5W40 is the perfect oil for the street. It gives you free-flowing oil when cold, and enough viscosity to handle a bit of load (street/enthusiast driving). You cannot possibly need a 50 or 60 weight oil for the street, they are too thick.

On the track, a 50 or 60 weight will act as cheap insurance for your motor in case you do several hard laps on a modified motor and your oil temps get high. Oil gets thinner when it gets hot, and a thicker oil will maintain lubrication under these adverse conditions. Really you should be running an oil cooler if your oil gets this hot, but it's cheap insurance.

I've been running 15w-50 Penrite HPR Diesel in my (street driven) RB20 all summer, but will probably switch the 10W-40 in the winter.

Have absolutely no complaints about the 15W-50, slight bump in pressure and the motor runs very quiet, it revs and spools the same as the lighter oils.

5w60 is a bit thick for a street car imho.

I'd stick to 10w40-10w50

On a 200,000+km engine?

I used SIN 5 for ~one year on my GT-R with no issues, engine became slightly quieter compared to 10W-50 (HPR10 one service only, ~9,000km). I service my cars every 10,000km, and rather have the GT-R running 50 (hot) oil than a 40 (even though Racing 10 worked fine on track). It's more for my peace of mind knowing an old motor is running a slightly thicker oil when temps are hitting 100°C , although there may not be much difference between 50 and 60. 40 I feel is a bit too thin, especially for summer.

I'm just gonna put in this Penrite HPR 15 5w40 full synthetic..

Also herd Redline shockproof makes a noisey diff a little quieter?

To be honest, I doubt you'll notice anything different between HPR5 and Premium 5 or Racing 10.

FYI HPR15 is 15W60, which is what I use in my R31 :P

You can buy an additive which apparently quietens the diff, think it's made by Nulon, can't say for sure.

Yeah, my mistake.. This is the oil I purchased.. (Not off the site, mind you..)

ill doing changeover from royal purple 10w-40 to penrite racing 15w-50 this wknd, will report back,

easier to source and can be bought on sale unlike royal purple if it all goes according to plan

im dumping oil every 5k or so but do drive it hard

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
