Hey. Just a few questions, I think its about time to do a service on my 33. It's the first service it will have had since ive owned it and so I just want to ask about what oils you guys swear by and what plugs would be best to use in a stock 93 GTST. Im planing on changing the engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant and brake fluid.If ive left anything out let me know :) I'm not the best at mechanical things but between me and a mechanic friend and little help from you guys i'm sure I can muddle through it

And yes I know theres a maintenance section but I just want to hear what some other victorians have got to add to it all :P

i use:

oil: penrite HPR10 (10w50)

coolant: anyhting thats anti-freeze/anti-boil and at 50:50 ratio with water

plugs: NGK coppers BCPR6ES (coppers are fine at $3 each and change them every 10,000kms or so)

i agree with all that except oil, i use OWS or Castrol 10w-60

than again a 33 and 32 are much different age-wise, would the japs have used synthetic oils on 32s ? as its REAL bad i heard to use synthetic in an engine that has previously used non-sythetic

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
