my car's running Penzoil 10w40, runs alright. (i think it's called GT performance or some sh1t)

If you don't wanna spend $60 on mobile1, it's a good alternative, for around $35 (from repco).

If the car starts to burn oil, try for a higher hot weight oil (eg 10w50). Choose a cold weight between 5-15 and you should be fine, don't go higher than 15 for turbos.

Hey SK

On a new (18,000 Km RB30DET) engine. Currently using Genuine Nissan oil

Wich oil would you be using The 10-60 or the 0-40?

Daily Driver. Rarely reved over 4.5K. Sometimes a few blasts just for fun. Hoping to take it to the Drag strip in the future.

I've always used Castrol 15/40 semi synthetic, no complaints from me ( or the motor ) after 3 years of using it (I change oil + oil filter every 6 months though).

Where i get my car dyno'd swears by Penrite HPR 40. Thats what he uses on everything! including his 7sec RX drag car.

so many people have so many opinions and preferences. It's really up to yourself and your price range. Generally anything in the lower numbers form 0-15 is fine, and in the higher about 30-40 area, in both semi-synthetic blend and full synthetic oils.

my 2 cents

;)

Just read the blurb on the back of the container......if it mentions its ok for performance/turbo charged cars....its ok

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
