Copy cat Steve! :P I too use 300V (10W 40 or 15w 50) and Pureone oil filters.

I've been using 300V for 4.5yrs. While it won't stop your ringlands from cracking it sure as hell keeps the rest of the internals in excellent shape! Having been un/lucky enough to view my engine internals I can vouch for 300V. As does my engine builder.

Oh yeah... I does smell rather nice too. I wonder how it would go for cooking fish and chips? :rolleyes:

I think I might try the Motul this time..  

Just got off the phone with Motul, and although they suggested either:

300V 15W-50 or the 300V Chrono 10W-40..

They recommended the 10-40.. bugger only comes in 2litre bottles. How many litres do you need for a GTR RB26?

You use to be able to get it in 5L containers (well 15W 50 300V did anyway) and even 100+L drums! I'm not sure about the RB26DETT but the RB25DET takes 4.7L with filter if I remember correctly. So 3 x 2L containers.

I also use to get a 300V 10W40 2L container for $19.95 - isn't it amazing how the prices rise when a product becomes popular :P .

Castrol Formula R synthetic, 10W60 in the engine.

Castrol Syntrax, 75W90 in the gearbox

Castrol Transmax Z in the transfer case

Castrol SAF-SA, in the differentials

Castrol Anti Freeze Ati Boil in the radiator

Castrol PS Fluid in the Power Steering

Boring aren't we? :Pimp2:

hmmmm...

affiliated with castrol in any way?

Sorry to hijack, meshmesh, but I asked this a while ago and no one responded.

Do you have to use a different oil in the transfer case, because I intended to use Redline Lighweight Shockproof (Blue) in:

*Gearbox

*Front Diff

*Rear Diff

*Transfer case

in my 32GTR... or should I use heavyweight shockproof in the rear diff?

You use to be able to get it in 5L containers (well 15W 50 300V did anyway) and even 100+L drums! I'm not sure about the RB26DETT but the RB25DET takes 4.7L with filter if I remember correctly. So 3 x 2L containers.

4.7L???? Can anyone verify this. I put in about 4L and the dipstick is about halfway. Should you measure the height of oil in the dipstick when engine's warm after letting the oil settle for a few minutes or right after you turn the engine off????

so in the rear diff just use redline 75w 90 not shockproof light...

whats the reason emre for not using shockproof in the rear diff..???

also i used redline mt90 in my r34 gtr gearbox .. works great...

i would keep using nissan matic d or castrol trans z in the transfer case to match the oil in the 4wd pump system...in a gtr of course...

cheers..

Hi Mark,

Purely, it's not recommended by Redline themselves. I don't know how Shockproof would perform in an LSD. 75w90 for normal use or 80w140 for race use is recommended.

It's not recommended to use Shockproof in the R34 GTR gearboxes, as the Getrag doesn't like it. MT90 is meant to be quite good for it, but Snowman did his 3rd gear syncro on the circuit using the MT90.

The oil in the transfer case and the ATESSA pump are not mixed. Nissan Matic D is what's recommended from factory. I've heard the usual Dexron III type ATF wouldn't be very good but that's what i've been using for near on 4 years.

used to have mobil 1 and they are great, just want to try something new and hope it's better.

now using motul and nismo oil filter

15208RN020_shohin2.jpg

in the site nismo claim:

Compare to original filter;

21% less oil pressure (resistance)

24% more filtering

10% more strength

37% longer life

already spend shit load on the car, don't care another $15-$20 if they can make "a little bit" different.

I post this in every which oil thread:

I believe the best Oil you can use for GTR (and gtst) is Motul 300v series

I use chrono because its closest to the factory specs IE 10w30

A tiny bit thicker than standard but not too much.

Im not the only one who thinks its the best oil for GTR/GTSt, So does Nismo :)

Oh and that oil filter above is awesome! Where can u get them? I cant find them anywhere around here anymore.

I payed $40 per 2L can of Motul 300V Chrono at Autobahn on special order.

Its well worth it, i can honestly say that the 300V has made a difference to the behavior of my engine.. in a good way!

Hi SK, I can't find the SAF-SA; the only diff fluid listed on Castrol site is SAF-XA is this the one to go for in the diff?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
