Hi all i have a R33 skyline the only mod i have is a turboback exhaust and i was wondering should i be using a octane booster?? My car only sees Shell Optimax or BP ultimate. I dont go to the track or drags. Is the 98 RON safe enough or do our cars need to have this additive also. I was also curious with oil changes and services do you guys do it based on the amount of K's the car has done or the date of your last service. thanks guys

No you don't need octane booster. 98 octane should be fine for it.

Oil changes: 5,000kms or 6 months whichever comes first. If you doing highway could stretch it to 10,000km. Use a semi synthetic at least..e.g castrol maganatec or shell helix.. If you really want to then go some full syntheticbut a bit pricey.

Gerabox/Diff oil: 100k kms..If your car came in from japan or unknown history then change them.

Coolant: Every 2 -3 years. Use Nulon or castrol

    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
