Guys I was wondering what motor oil some of you use in your GTR's and perhaps what you could recommend for a GTR that doesn't see any track work.

I normally use the Mobile Super Synthetic, but remembered some of you use the Motul stuff... which of the Motul oils should I use considering I don't do any track work?

Oh.. and is there any difference in oild filters? or just the standard RYCO stuff? I can't find the thread, but someone was using some brand other than RYCO and said it seemed much better.

I have used Mobil 1 5W-50 ever since the engine was built (10,000kms ago), seems to be ok but the lifters are noisier than most of gtr's ive heard so might change soon.

I used to usually use a Valvoline oil filter, but got a Ryco this time and it seems to hold oil pressure a bit better (with the Valvoline filter it would drop pretty low on idle).

Normally just strain the old oil through a stocking and reuse it.  

When it gets too thick to go through the funnel, I replace it with Big W Super - $10 for 4 litres.

Too hard and messy to get to the oil filter on a GTR, so don't replace it.

:) Thats some funny shit.

AFAIK, its what Nismo use.

meshmesh, if it has a W rating, it has been tested to flow at 0degC. The W means its suitable for use in winter. The winter viscosity is tested differently than the weight. It is a little thicker than say Mobil 1, which is like water. The winter testing involves seeing how much oil will flow throught a specific sized hole at 0 deg. Basically how well the oil pours.

The weight of the oil (50 in this case) is tested at 100deg celcius. The higher the number the thicker the oil at that temp.

Ronin 09, I know what you mean, sort of a honey smell:)

Snappy google search turned up this

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
