I always been using Motul Chrono 100% Synthetic oil for my R34 GTt, But alot of people are recommending the Royal Purple including performance shops. Price wise you can't go wrong Royal purple is about $80 for 5 litres and Motul Chrono is about $99 for 4litres . I just wana know if any of you guys use it, and wat do u think of it?

I just used it for the first time in my car last week, no complaints at all from me, engine runs nice and smoothly. Where have you seen it for $80 as I paid $100 for mine from AutoBarn :wub:

My mate got it for me from AutoBarn aswell, Im pretty sure he got it from the 1 in Hinchinbrook, next to the police station.

They stock Royal Purple oils in the performance section of Autobarn, not where the oils are kept usually. I've been using it in my RB25DET for a while now, no issues at all find it to be quite a good oil.

Autobarn sells them for normally $100 for 5L thats in Brisbane at least anyways, but I've found a local guy who stocks them for $75 so not too bad. I reccomend Royal Purple ;)

Ok just a couple of things. The Royal Purple that you get for under $100 is a Group IV oil, so compare that to the Motul 8100 which is also Group IV.

If you want to compare the 300V then you can only compare that to the Royal Purple racing oil which is around the same price as 300V, im pretty sure it is a Group V oil, but not 100% sure on that one, will have to speak to the Royal Purple rep next time i see him.

Problem with Royal Purple is that it started getting a great name for it self when Street Commodores did a test on all the oils in the country and Royal Purple won it be a mile stone, all the other brands including Motul performed horribly. Suddenly they got the attention of all the oil companies and they went "Hang on a sec, wtf is going on here!", so they investigated it and a law suit became of it. The problem was Street Commodores used a machine that didn't simulate engine loads on bearings (i believe it was a gearbox load simulator from memory) and that's why all the oils performed so badly. They published a big apology but not many people saw that one, they just remembered Royal Purple dominating it, hence their great reputation began in Aus :D

Nice history lesson for ya.

Nothing wrong with Royal Purple, i sell heaps of it and it's a great oil. If i couldn't buy 300V at my work i would go the Royal Purple 10W40 because Motul don't make a 10W40 in a Group IV oil.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
