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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
