Hey guys/gals,

I have been trying to search around. Just cant seem to find any DIRECT info on an R33 GTR for engine oil.

I just bought the 'line a day ago... so far i changed the plugsnd cleaned the filters. just looking at doing n oil change.

now it runs atm up to 20PSI. and has around 400HP.

I was thinking something along the lines of Royal Purple or Motul. Any suggestions??

Also, i will be wanting to take my GTR to a performance shop to do the 100km Service. Im located in Sydney South (Campbelltown Region)

Any shops you guys recommend for the service??

Cheers,

Elliott

Have you seen the sticky - big read but some good info in there: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Go...ils-t22458.html

Royal purple, Motul 8100, Castrol Edge (ex Formula R) etc etc - just make sure appropriate weights for the application and they should keep the dreaded bearing knock away.

I'd concentrate on the last 10 pages of that thread. Castrol Edge isn't mentioned really, so I would not have that as an option for a GTR.

It all comes down to what weight you want to run. Then go with a full synthetic, not a faux synthetic like Castrol Edge.

Options would be Motul 300V Chrono (this is 10w40), Royal Purple, Gulf Western Sougi S 6000, as well as what FUCHS and Redline offer.

You're running some serious PSI and HP in that car, so don't skimp on the oil.

Quick question guys,

Anyone know of any reputable performance shops In south-western sydney area... that will do my "100,000km service" on my GTR?? (i might be thinking CRD but it is a bit of a travel)

Only at around 80 or so thousand k's but want to get it done soon as i just bought the car. want it all done :)

Cheers

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
