Hi all i bought a r32 not long back and have only done the oil change, as i do most servicing and repairs myself could somebody give me some info on servicing details.

Im currently running motul turbo lite 4100 oil, is this the correct oil to use? The 32 has 110,00k's on it and has alot of lifter noise, sounds like a sticky lifter, ive tryed some of that lifter solution you add with the oil but still ticking away.

Also i need spark plug numbers as when i went to grab some today the book at autobarn recommends platinum plugs, do i really need platinums?

Basically just need advice on engine oil and plugs as the rest is straight forward, i have read up on oils but keep getting different info.

As im picky and change my oil before 5000 k's i dont want to run the premium stuff that will cost me $80 - $90 each hit.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers Andy

I doubt id get a response as im sure its been covered but 86 pages or so of peoples opinions is abit confusing, one says this is good another says another thing. Ive figured out the plugs so can anyone give some insight into which oil would be best for my car or should i add another post to the oil section in the sticky above?

My car feels like it has a loss of power accelarating throughout the rev range ever since i chucked in this 4100 turbo lite, i tryed 3 different oils in a 3 week period thats why im asking so i can get it spot on next time instead of trying different, i tryed a penrite 10w-40, nulon 10w-40, penrite 15w-50...

yeh cheers guys, i got the spark plugs, just took a guess at it, as in the sticky area it doesnt specify which spark plugs are for a r32 or 33 etc... how many members on this forum? about 20 - 30 time more than my previous rides forum. Nothing like the vr4 forums, every guy is more than keen to help wether it be a simple question or a complicated one.

same as that sivilansw forum!!!!

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
