Generally for a GTR, you'd want the 300V Chrono variant of Motul, theres the regular 10w40 for road use and the 15w50 competition version for occasional track use. the best place for general consumers is Repco when they have their 20% off sales on Motul fluids.

Judging from your car description, perhaps ask your tuner what oil is best for the mods and power your car is running

Hi mate, I'm from Motul Australia, if you want to send through the specs of your GT-R and the type of use, happy to advise which type of Motul oil would be best for your car. Send via PM if you prefer.

I just put Motul Chrono 300v 10w40 for my R32 GTR - on the weekend. I think it's great stuff. It would want to be for $150. Got it from repco - 6 litres. I chose this as its a group 5 Oil, full synthetic, cool bottle etc etc ;-)

I would use the 15w 50 for more track /harsher driving in the motul.

Some info from the "goods on oils" sticky

Basic explanation of ratings

Group I - mineral

Group II/II+ - hydrocrak (VI below 120)

Group III - hydrocrack (VI above 120, mineral derive "Fake Synthetic")

Group IV - polyalphaolefin (man made Synthetic)

Group V - Ester & other un-group fluid (Ester or Polyolester, super high grade Synthetic, good for aircraft jet engine).

Common products and their ratings.

Redline (Group V Polyester)

Motul 300V (Group V)

Motul 8100 E-Tech 0W40 (Group IV/V Blend)

Mobil 1 (Group IV)

Motul 8100 xcess 5w40 (Group IV) ~$59 - one of the best value

Castrol SynTec 0w30 (Group IV) [A minor mistake in the front page, Castrol SynTec 0w30, the German castrol is group IV. The American 5w40 or similar is group III (sometimes written as III/IV but not true group IV).]

Castrol Edge Sport 5w30 or 10w60 (Group III)

Motul 4100 Turbolight (Group II?)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
