I just bought an R33 GTR V Spec that just got imported from Japan and i'm wanting to do an oil change but was unsure what synthetic oil to use.

Have been looking at using Nulon hi tech fast flowing synthetic 10w 40 on the advise of a mate but just wanted confirmation.

Nulon 10w40 is a decent oil but way over-priced for a semi-synthetic. Spend the extra 10-15 and go with motul 8100 xcess, or whatever the new one is, or royal purple fully synth for the same price (if you can find it).

Edited by Galois

Nulon 10w40 "high tech whatever" shit states on the back that it's 100% synth, not "fully synth"

that being said, the waxes and shit in there are classed as synthetic, so it may be one of the 100% but actually 75% synthetics. Either way, I'm running it and there's been no issues, I'm yet to see how it comes out though.

Haven't personally but all my workshop customers love it, they use it in every car they can. Should go well in your car, do let us know :)

thats good to hear, $32 and in stock at autobarn :)

will be going in tmrw

Nice to hear, give us a report in 5000km :)

It should run much thesame as Sougi, it's all the same viscosities and some of the additives...plus some that Sougi didn't have.

Sougi is very deceptive, it looks like regular $5 XMP (XTR whatever) shite. I've been running Sougi S6000 full synth in my GTR for acouple weeks and for all intents and purposes it feels like just like my old oil (Motul X-Cess 5w-40) but interested to see the condition of the oil is (compared to the Motul changes) when it comes to changing the oil.

gw oil lol we sell that at Woolworths. I thought its some cheap shit stuff.

Going Motul 300v for my next oil change. Been on Royal Purple for too long, want something new!

lol yes and quite rightly...I'll never forgive GW for doing that to the brand. That Woolworths spec oil is good at what it does, i.e keep old pieces of shite running into the ground, obviously a different drop of oil to the more expensive GW oils :)

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
