Your going to get different answers from everyone... I personally use only Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. It ranges from about $70-$90 from your local auto shop.

A quality, fully synthetic at around the 5-40 weight for stock (I think Nissan uses 0-30 but not sure, too thin for my liking).

Personally, I run Valvoline Synpower 10W-50 in my built 30 and Neo in my Stag.

GW get their oils off shell and put some additives in it and re-sell it, ive run castrol in most of my cars (5w30) has served me very well, performed better than mobil1 5w50 in my gtr actually, kept oil temps below 90 always where as the mobil1 would get abit hotter even if i wasnt driving the car 'hard'.

where is your proof of castrol "sucking ass"

well after using i didn't develop toxic sludge but if i used it again i probably would and oil pressure dropped off allot at temp. i have no proof, im no big oil company and i cant afford to test hundreds of samples to get a definitive result not many ppl can. but the main reason i said it sucks ass it so that ppl would try alternatives because castrol is advertised heaps and ppl instantly go for it when there are better and or cheaper alternatives.

I believe oil sampling kits are only $26 from CAT, maybe try some Castrol and then get a sample tested and THEN, if appropriate, say it sucks ass, with evidence.

      Just get rid of the orignal low impedance injectors, replace with modern high impedance injectors, and you won't need the resistors. Wire direct, as per any other engine.

      Tao, we're not talking about the ECU boost ref. We're talking about the wastegate signal source.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Flapping up and down is a consequence of the varying pull on the belt. When the engine speed is suddenly increased, the tension in the belt increases too. When that engine accel changes to decel, the tension is reduced and turns up as a little extra length of beltes between the pulling and dragging pulleys. That extra length flaps up, then down. There's all sorts of other harmonic stuff going on too.

      RB26 swapped gtst

      By r33.antwone · Posted

      hello ladies and gentlemen so i’ve swapped a rb26dett into my r33 gtst and ive come across many speed bumps but its nearly over what im having issues with is the injector resistor box that are normally on the RB26 fuse box but im still using my rb25 fuse box and as a result my injectors aren’t getting power and is the last thing i need to figure out so the car can start. can anyone help me out on where i can find a wiring diagram for the rb26 harness to see where the injectors are supposed to receive power

      The boost pressure at the compressor cover will be higher than at inlet manifold. lets say, trying to hold 20 psi flat at 7000 RPM. If your wastegate opens at 20 psi measured at the compressor cover, the engine may only be seeing 16 psi. Your base pressure reading at engine would be 20psi by 4K and 16psi by 7K while your MAP at compressor housing still reads 20psi at 7K. For this reason your ECU's MAP source is never on the compressor cover. This difference isn't a major concern if you're using an electronic boost controller (EBC).
