You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I was behind GTRRKT on the way up. And that was fast enought for me.

But I drive like a grandma :D

Oil temp went up to 125-130c on the run up though. Was getting a little worried...

Your oil weight is too thin.

Go for 10/50 or 10/60 at next oil change and better do it ASAP cos real summer's coming shortly.

Mine is approx 85-95 degrees (factory gauges are useless compared to Nismo units *sighs* more thing I miss...).

Which number is the weight the lower or the higher one? I can't remember?

I run 5w 40 Motul 8100 fully synthetic.

What sort of oil temps should I be worried with the rb25? And what are the consequences on the engine if the oil temp is high?

Just did an oil change :(

Weight is higher.

5 is good for quick warming up. That is what Nissan recommend. 40 is bit too thin for summer climate, I'd go 50 or 60 though.

I went home via the Esplanade again, get held up by Subaru Outback for 4 minutes, aargh! Luckily he/she pulled over to some spot.

My oil temp was only on 86c on the way up.

Yep, I was hidden in amongst the three white boys I had in my car.

Last night was good fun. Great organising Tony and great turnout.

The only problem is now I want a R34 GTR so I can go fasssssttttteerrrrr...

The uphill was awesome and the drive home was heaps of fun. Great to see the Ae86 starting sideways at the lights...

the 50/60 is the protection of the engine or highest operating temp

and i think the 0-15w is the cold operating temp or something like that

I forget, its been a while lol.. but my uncle is a lube specialist at Mobil and has previously said anyone from SAU can call him anytime to ask questions if you like :)

the 'weight' of the oil is for the lower operating temperature, as the other number represents the part of the oil with the higher kinematic viscosity at the same temp

edit: im a dipshit, must read all posts before replying >_>

Indeed. Was chasing him, he can drive that is for sure.

If Michael (miguelone) doesn't slow both of us up, Chris would kill me both in Esplanade and Arthurs Seat.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
