for the street/old pac drivers. and for the track.
due to a couple of friends of mine loosing there engines from a simple lack of oil i thought id post up a easy guide on how to keep your engine from poping...
GTR OWNERS: when you change your oil, fill the carnt thing up to the hump on the dipstick.
this works out to be roughly 6 to 6.5 litres of oil.
if the oil level is on high. it will surge just acelerating in first gear. (not to mention corners)
i have done thorough testing of this and can asure you all that this quantity of oil is the MINIMUM that is required to combat oil surge in a standard sumped gtr.also a tomie baffeld one to.(makes no differance if its
baffeled or not.) (mechanical oil presure guages dont lie)
now. im not a fan of motul oils. but hey you guys love the shiet so yeah.
using a good quality synthetic oil with a cold rating of less than 15. and a hot rating of 50 or more is the go.
eg 5w60 penrite is my personal favorite. its the only one i have used that can stand up to a whole track day without "breaking down"
GTS-T OWNERS your cars have a much better sump design so you can get away with using abit less oil. 5.5-6 litres of oil is suficant. the rwd sumps still have poor bafeling anyway. so fill them to just before the hump on the dipstick.
so summing it up PUT OIL IN YOUR ENGINE its not hard to fill er up abit over full. it does no damage to the engine. it just keeps all those legs in bed.
so following this instruction it will extend the life or your RB by a long mark
the same rules aply to any RB powerd car with the standard CAPACITY sump
