I wish people would put up their budget on how much they're willing to spend, would make it so much easier to recommend an oil. Any $ figures I put in ()'s are approximations.

Good (Group 3 semi-synths): Motul 4100 Turbolight ($50), Gulf Western Syn-X 3000 ($35), Royal Purple ($50)

Better (Group 4 PAO full synths): Motul 8100 X-Cess/X-Max ($70), GW Syn-X 6000 ($60), Royal Purple XPR ($120), Mobil 1 0w40 ($70)

Best (Group 5 Ester full synths): Motul 300V Chrono ($150), Redline ($120)

My apologies I forgot to put how much I was willing to spend basically it doesn't worry me I want what's best for the engine Redline or Motul 300V Chrono seem like the best sort of option am I correct ? :)

As long as the oil is changed at 5,000km or every 6 months (whatever comes first) anything I listed or others have listed are perfectly fine. Motul 300V and Redline are the best and you said you wanted the best (comes at a big price).

Personally anything I listed in the good or better category I would use on my GTR when doing street driving. Better or Best I would use at the track, it's overkill for a street driven car.

As far as my quick google check, HPR is a full synthetic by marketing (containing the minimum percent of mixed PAO synthetic), not a true Group IV oil. Which means it belongs in amongst the Group III oils, but the 10 Tenths range is a true synthetic (mix of PAO and esters )

Nulon Full synthetic is another example, not a true group IV synthetic, but it meets the minimum percent of synthetic stock to be marketed as such.

the turbolight or hpr is more than enough, I use them for my track car. I dont see the point of 150 for oil on street car.

Exactly

OP needs to say what the car is mainly going to be used for. If its just around town nothing wrong with motul turbolight. I use 8100 x-cess which is pretty good

the turbolight or hpr is more than enough, I use them for my track car. I dont see the point of 150 for oil on street car.

my two reccomendations exactly... unless the motor is making big power and is tracked then there is no point spending more coin. as it's just a waste.

I would add to this castrol edge 10w60 though if the car is going to be spending long periods on the limiter

    • Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on 
    • You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump. 
    • Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
