Hey everyone,

I got a '93 r32 skyline done 150,000 kms and was just wondering what kind of oil to use. Been looking through here about the oil kinds and ive come to conclusion that i need to get fully synthetic oil. Anyone know if this is right or could recommend any brand of oil as I am reletively new to this all.

Depends how much you want to spend max, Motul is probably the best of the full synthetics, though overkill for a tired 150,000km RB20 I would say. Others run Nulon 10w-40 full synth and Castrol Edge full synth with success, Motul 4100 Turbolight is popular with skyline owners, even though it's labelled as a semi-synth (french company) but really qualifies to be a full synth here in Australia.

try a few types and see for urself..... and keep in mind for next time..... the oil that turns BLACK the fastest, is the best oil.....

reason being is the two purposes of oil are to lubricate and CLEAN, so the oil that is the blackest if obviously picking up all the carbon n crap and sending it to the filter

Oil that turns black the quickest is the worst oil money can buy.   Cheap oil has less and cheaper detergents that deteriorate the oil quicker.

Put cheap oil in your car and it will be black within 2 weeks, buy decent oil and the detergents which protect the oil from blackening(deteriorating) are far superior and will keep your oil cleaner for longer.   The statement oils aint oils wasnt a salesman line.  You get what u pay for.  Oil purpose is also to cool

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
