Hey just got my first skyline R33 RB25 with around 150000km on it, been reading the Oil Guide above, but i cant decide, what type of oil to use iv heard Helix Ultra 5-40w is good but might be too thin.

Suggestions? Cheers

I used to use the expensive stuff then read the moderately priced stuff is just as good. Penrite 10w40 here. the ten tenth stuff.

Oil is so cheap though, you might as well use the good stuff. Costs me $16 a litre for Royal Purple 10w40, peanuts.

Penrite 10w40 diesel. Cleans protects and high in zinc. Used it for 5 years on ls2 and rb26. Change every 5000 and it will never miss a beat.

thats interesting ,I use HPR5-40 in my diesel...But I just got the penrite HPR10-50, its also high in zinc and SN rated so hopefully be ok for ethanol as well..only 40$...see how it goes..

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
