Hello again

 

I'm about to drop my freshly built motor in and would like to know what oil to use to break the engine in and what oil to use after and what sort of mileage should I use the break in oil for before changing...

Some specs

Forged internals

Forward facing plenum

Gt35 garret turbo on high mount

800cc injectors

Nistune to be tuned

Brand new head

Turbosmart wastegate

Hoping to run 12-15psi

Fuel pressure regulator bla bla bla

All the other bits I can't think of

Hoping to get 400hp from her, would like more but will see how I go.

 

So what sort of oil do you guys think?

Use a mineral oil (not a synthetic). Push it hard without going OTT and watch for overheating and leaks. Do not baby it. Most of the running in should be done on the dyno with the initial tune. Dump the oil and keep using mineral oil for the first 10,000 and then switch to a quality synthetic.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
