what weight are you running?

10w40 would be the go, Gulf western oils are pretty detergent heavy so running some of that at 5000km intervals should eventually free it up

otherwise you can do what i did to my 31

4 litres of cheapy GW 20w50 (~$13)

2 x Nulon engine oil flush

Dump current oil (save it if you want and put it back in after)

Insert cheap oil + both oil flush bottles

Run for 5 mins at idle, do not drive it!!!

lift the revs to 2-3000 rpm for 20-30 seconds

idle for 5 mins

lift the revs

etc... do it so its running for around 20 mins

dump the flushing oil, change the filter, put new/previous oil back in

party

Nulon make a tappet quieting product

The retail version is different to the one supplied to mechanics tho, if the 31 needs it I go to an ultra tune and ask them to get a bottle in for me, usually works out at about $10 anyway but the bottle says "not for retail sale" or something like that

Glad to hear you got it sorted tho

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
