R33 Questions

[Jay_R33]

hi all

i just have a couple of quick silly questions as im still a fresh noob, all questions relate to my R33 GTS-T

1. I have a switch on my console that says Power, A/T, Snow...what exactly does the snow one do, i would imagine it would stop sudden bursts of boost...others have told me it could mean it turns the turbo's off...(would be good if you were next to cops lol)

2. what engine oil would you recommend to put into these babies, i kno thin oil like 5w or 10w but what brand and what ratio?

Thank you in advance people

Hey dude,

-the power switch holds gears for a bit longer before changing; try it from a standstill and you will know what i mean.

-The normal mode changes nice and smoothly but you can always give a little more pedal to make the car hold the gear.

-The snow mode starts the car off in second gear which is a safer in slippery conditions but technically you wouldnt use it in aus. There is no way to turn off the turbos

for oil i would use 5w40 or 10w40. Full synthetics are definitely the best like from mobil1 or castrol and motul make a very nice oil called turbolight which is very good for the price at about 50bux.

If your insane and paranoid like me you can use motul chrono 300v at like 150bux

just a bit of something i've learnt driving my car around. you can make it go into power if you hit the accelerator fast. say if you were at a standstill and you suddenly mash the pedal. or if you are cruising, quickly lift off and mash. it happens even if you are trying to take off slow, and hit the accelerator fast but lightly. in essence it depends on how quickly you get on the pedal not really how far you push it down
