Hey All..

It's Service time for my friends Skyline(s) ...(32 and 33 GTS-t's) ..

And I thought I post it not just for him.. but for myself :)

OK, easy questions...

1. What Oil Filter is on these cars? Ie. Part number, brand etc...

2. Whats the Best Spark Plugs?

Any Other general service tips or good parts to use would be good.. We are the sorta people that prefer to do everything possible our selves (just short of rebuilding the b!tch) ... So yea..

Cheers !

i thought it was z200.. maybe thats the fuel filter :S

anyway - i think ngk plugs are fine... lots of people are using platinums, but the best are iridiums (but they will cost you)

There is a heap of info in the maintenence forum, so if you do a search, your questions will be answered :)

for the r32:

- oil filter: Z145A

- fuel filter: Z387

- spark plugs: heat range of 6 gapped to 1.1 or 0.8

- don't forget antiboil/antifreeze at a 50:50 ratio

- i don't know what oil is best but i use: penrite 15W60 semi-synthetic. apparently stands up v.good at the high temps produced by a turbo but also thin enough to flow properly.

that's my 2c. hope it helps, HOTR33. i'm sure zdenko has more info to add on top of this... plus i'm not sure if this carries for the rb25 or just teh rb20.

Waz.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
