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!! :)

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
