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.

Cheers

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?)

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
