The recommended nissan oil grade is - 7.5W30 I do believe (off the top of my head, you can check the service manual for this) Speaking to nissan guys - they recommend either 10W40 or 5W30.. if your driving it hard - think a couple of the guys on here recommend 10W40.. plenty of posts on it - do a search - but advanced - and make it all topics including those >6 months..

default search is newer than 6 months - you miss alot..

My mechanic recommend i use a 10w-40 oil. It sound too thin for me... does anyone use this grade(rb25det)

Yep...

And after the rebuild and still running in I was using it (after running in oil) Motul Turbolight as it is semi.

Now cause of the moly rings I go full synthetic, Pennzoil as I get it almost for free and its the shiz, better than when I used Mobil 1 etc.

Oh and use the search this subject has the most threads on it I reckon :soap:

use what they use in the JGTC MOTUL 8100 turbolite it was developed for the rb engines.

no offence mate, but I don't know where you heard that. no way would ANY JGTC team use 'turbo light' when motul make much higher spec, proper synthetic oils. as for it being 'developed for RB engines' i must say i do detect a hint of bullshit in that claim too.

BTW I'm not knocking motul oils (I use motul oil).

I'm sure whatever they put in the car they probably called "Turbolight": the fact its got the same product family name doesn't mean its the same stuff.

You know the Shell Helix in Ferrari F1 cars is the same stuff in my local servo. Honest. They say so on the ad :)

You Guys Are All Mad!!!!! (and Get Paid Far Too Much!!!)  Valvoline Xld 10-50 Is The Go.....(get It At Kmart For Less Than $15 For 5 Litres). Change It & The Oil Filter Every 5000klm & The Engine & Turbo Will Last For 300,000 Klms........

You run a mineral based oil? Ok then......

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
