yep search the forums bro. it all comes down to how much u can spend. Use oil no higher than these ranges (no higher than)10W-XXW for the lowest rating and no higher than XXW-50W.

The Nissan guide recommends at 7.5-30w rating for the oil since its for a new motor its also hard to get some most people are running 5-40w, 5-30w -0-30w 0-40w 5-50w. Your choice. Check the thread buy the search button. You will find over 50pages of stuff to read. Also check google on oil myths good info if u have time to read it.

Hi all just thought i might add my 2 cents

I have used nearly every oil under the sun Mobil, Penrite, Shell,AGIP,Motul,Caltex.... the list goes on.

I think that the best way too check if an oil works for you is check the state of the oil when you change it...Colour, rub it between ur finger etc...

I have noticed that the racing oils like AGIP and Motul that i have used are only good for sorter periods then 5000KM, like a track day/weekend and then change it. But they do work really well for that time!!!

Till now i have noticed that Mobile 1 is the only oil that has kept its original characteristics...well closer than any of the others over the 5000KM.

So i use Mobil1 most off the time and then put in some Motul if im doing some track/skidpan time.

  • 2 weeks later...

i use mobil 1 / motul 6100. Ive recently heard that the motul is a higher "grade" oil than the mobil stuff. I dont know exactly what that means but... Also was told the new mobil 1 super syn isnt worth the dollars.

havent done any tests, just what ive heard. But with most of us changing every 5000kms its prob not that important.

mobil 1 is over priced for what it is and how it is made...advertising and everything costs money where else can it go. Motul oil refering to the 8100 model 5-40w rating is reasonably priced and preforms like a top oil for a good price...motul have another branded model which is 300v which is made specifically for race and indurance races track work/drag etc... this is a specific oil for this purpose motul 5w-40w is a good all rounder. The 8100 model is as close as u will get to the best motul oil (300V) without paying 40bucks for 2 litres(300v) motlu 8100 cost about $55 and is priced quite good for how it is designed and created compaired to the competitors..

Because Magnatec is a mineral oil and breaks down a lot easier than synthetics in turbo engines. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. All of its virtues of "sticking" to upper engine parts are also apparent in any other good quality oil. "Magnatec" is pure marketing!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
