Redline is better cos its ester based group 5 oil. Mobile 1 is synthetic too but belongs to group IV as it does not have ester.

Mind you I might try Mobile 1 myself at the next service... i just cant convince to spend over 200 bucks for an oil change when my car does not see the track and is stock.

whooah! why you spending $200?? redline from performancelub should be around the $100 mark delivered for 5 quarts.

Hey thanks for that.

Redline Synthetic Oil 5w-40 from performanceclub.com is about 17 bucks per 950 ML. So thats 6 * 17 which is around 114 dollars. How much is the delivery charge from them as it does not say?

Cheers!

Why don't you just ask Harold from performancelub.com about the shipping charge?

^^yep yep he links to the aussie post calculator, but will give you a proper quote quick smart if you email him the order.

how come you're getting 6 quarts tho??? i doubt a skyline would need 6 to be honest. even with a filter change

Dont we need 5 litres of oil for the engine? So if you only buy 5 * 0.950 ML thats like 4.75 litres. Is that enough or do we need 5 litres exactly?

Also if the car is stock, sees no track and seldomly gets floored on the streets, can I just service it every 10,000 KMs?

hmmm today i went into Auto one and i also read the oil review that was attatched to this topic...mmm the guy was telling me that Penrite Synthetic "SIN" 5 5w60 is way better then the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5w30? and also the oil review also had better results from the Penrite...im talking about the one that was using the bearings and showing the marks etc etc....so the question is keep using MOBIL 1 or try Penrite? any help would be sweet :D

dont care which gay test results some shows you, M1 is better oil. Get it and you will be happy.

which one tho? the M1 5w30 or the 0w40? :D

Cheers

depends on how you feel. Generally people have been going with the 0W40. In asutarlia we are scared of "thin" oils. If its for street use, thin is great to reduce startup wear. However if ur gonna see some track 40-50 weight be better. Generally for a mixture of booting it around racing excels and honda accords, 0W40 would be fine (M1 of course...)

hey everyone, read about 90% of this thread, but still having troubles gettin my head around oils and fluids, so i was wondering if anyone can help me out as im going down to autobarn later today to get evrything, i drive an rb20det r32 1993 done just 120,000 clicks, i use the car the putt around in but i do give it some every now and then and plans for hitting the track in the future as well,

Engine - Motul Xcess8100 5w-40w

I havnt been happy with shockproof and went for MT-90 instead and been quite happy with its shifting ever since!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
