Hey all i've done a few searches and couldn't find anything on changing the oil for a GTR34.

Few questions is it the same as changing other car oils ? i use to do my Evo 8

Simply remove 1 bolt flush oil replace oil filter + get new oil

does anyone know which side of the GTR is the filter located at is it under the car ?

i was thinking of using 10-40w royal purple oil

thanks !

prados are right next to the oil filler cap... and they have a little well with a drain tube that comes out next to the sump plug..

i think the worst oil filter location is on old 4wd hiluxs... its upside down, but right above one of the steering links... so you cant get a claw and a ratchet on it... there isnt enough room to use a filter strap.. and not enough room to get both hands on it.

the only way to do it is with a claw, jammed in on a funny angle, which pierces the bottom of the filter, causing dirty black diesel oil to drain down you ratchet and your arm and into your armpit before youve even got the filter loose... then the oil drips down onto all the steering links and muck covered front diff housing, which then starts to splatter as it hits. and run from one side to the other, dripping a nice black mess all over the floor.

after doing them day in day out.... any filter seems good!! :)

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
