i take my hat off to you for having the balls to open the bonnet, and the common sense to ask for help on here. we all start somewhere and im going to resist the temptation to poke fun, although you did make me smile.

theres some PDF files floating round the internet which have allthe service info nthe various skyline engines. find one of those and start there. everything is simple if you have the instructions infront of you.......

glad you got it sorted without damage to the engine, and happy motoring.

dude, you have to completely drain the old oil out before you put the new stuff in.

ie. take care for a drive so oil is warm.

jack up the front. place drip tray under the sump.

take off top oil cap

undo sump plug bolt

let oil drain out the bottom for 10 mins or so

then put sump plug back in

fill up from the top to the appropriate level. each car takes a different amount of oil. make sure you know how much your car needs

replace oil cap.

start car, run for a minute or two.

turn car off and check oil level. top up or drain as needed.

now enjoy.

also, personally I would go with a better oil than turbolight. it's cheap rubbish really. sure it may be 'ok' but there are many better oils out there. if you want something that is actually good, go with motul chrono 300V. very good oil for your skyline to live a long happy life. :)

you forgot to add, while the oil is being/has drained remove and replace oil filter! note when u change oil filter make sure you put oil In the filter before hand, by adding oil to the filter and letting it soak in then adding more till its half full of oil, ALSO make sure you put oil on the rubber O ring this will help the filter ring slide on instead of grabbing and breaking the O ring!!

in sayng that i hope you have redone the oil change (including filter) not just drain a bit out!

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
