Im running 10W 40 redline in a standard R33, did find it interesting that after doing about 5500 kms oil pressure is not as healthy and stable as it was (at higher engine temps) . Its goin to be an expensive thing to run though cause its clocked that in just under 3 months of running. Was goin to do the change over the weekend.

  • 3 weeks later...

When i had my old 33gts, i changed oil every 5k to 8k and always change oil filter and also use lighter weight oil.

Now i have my gtr, it make power therefore i ALWAYS change oil and genuine Nisan filter every 5K. There are two type of Genunie Nisan filter, the big one made in Thailand which to me is a no no, the small one that made in Japan i use.

Then every now and then i used engine oil flush product (GERMAN) to give that extra clean, i'm not anal about my car but i dont want to give it any reason to f*k it self as i can't afford to rebuild it.

fully synthetic oils these days last much longer than mineral or semi synth oils. I don't recommend it, but you can probably leave it longer than 10,000 and still be protecting your engine properly.

I change my oil every 4,000kms or 6 months in a car that sees mostly track work these days. I also use genuine nissan oil filters, they are like $12-13

So are you saying you do multiple track day's on one oil change?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
