pretty sure it's the sport.

If you're running E85 i believe edge sport is the one you should really run (SN spec), otherwise i don't think it matters too much as long as you have the correct weight/viscosity.

Given your username and you said GTR, i'd go with the 10w60 Edge.

mmmm I don't use castrol so I can't distinguish between the two. but you don't wanna cut corners on oil.

For what its worth I only put Motul in my car, its int the same ~$80/5L price bracket unless you get the 300V variant.

Use royal purple 10/40 the best

Don't know whats best man!!

I used that exact one, was told to change to edge as oil pressure wasn't high enough or something like that during dyno tuning, this was years ago now can't exactky remember. I'm not saying this is the best, it's just what iv been advised to use by my workshop for gtr's. There's definitely lots of oils to choose from, don't wanna turn this into an oil debate, plenty of those on this forum.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
