R32 Gts-t Generaly Maintenance Questions

[123456]

hey i recently bought a 1990 skyline r32 gts-t and im trying to service the thing but unfortunately it didnt come with a service manual of any type. i was hoping you guys could help me out with a few questions

How much oil does it take? (as in how much to put in after ive drained the old stuff out)

What are the spark plug gaps?

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

can't remember spark plug gaps off the top of my head

it takes a bit under 4 litres of oil from memory. Just stick 3 litres in, and keep adding until you get somewhere between E and F on the dipstick (btw, there is 1 litre of oil between E and F), then start the motor for 30 seconds or so, turn it off, let it sit for 10 mins and top it up to F.

4.2L oil from memory

spark plugs: BCPR6ES-11 (1.1mm) or BCPR6ES (0.8mm)

you can get 1.1mm gap if you are running around stock boost

if you are running 12psi+ go for the BCPR6ES

the are NGK coppers

good luck with the service

This is what i use and it seems to be working A.O.K:

Oil: Motul Turbolight 4100

Oil Filter: Cooper Z145A

Fuel Filter: Ryco Z201

Plugs: NGK BCPR6ES

The two used filters I compared (chopped up) I would have a cooper over a ryco.

The ryco looked as if some of the pletes blew out, if that makes sense, not blow out as in dissapear but a few had wide spaces between the pleates while others were very closely packed.

Basically this is how I would rate oil filters.

Nissan

Purolator PureOne

Purolator Premium

K&N

Cooper

Ryco

I havent chopped up a genuine nissan filter yet.. But will do soon to check it out.
