donutdavid Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Also Scotty I've noticed you've got "GTR" brake upgrade? is that late model gtr or r32? Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/56/#findComment-5900894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkist Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 i use the sougi, its a 10w40 im pretty sure.. he has the 32R brakes. you will need an adaptor sleeve to fit these. but he is upgrading to the 34R brembos soon, which bolt straight on to the fronts. so far the only bolt on for the rear i know about is the 350z brembos.

iamhe77 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up Scotty it all makes sense now. Do you think that nissans 7-30w oil is good choice, whats everyone else using? I know 300v is best which I use in gtr but 90 for 4 lt is a bit rough for frequent oil change. nissan is 55 bucks for 5 lt. Cheers Dave 300v will last you 10,000kms before you need to change it (just get a good filter). Nissan's oil is a mineral base. Unsatisfactory in this day and age IMO.

Sunkist Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 yeh they are the same size as stock aswell. especially if your doing 10,000k changes, they will definitely last the extra 5k. if your doing 5000k changes, ryco is fine. jus whack a magnet on it lol. it works suprisingly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/56/#findComment-5901350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is the same thing mate, you need to take into account the flow pattern of the filter so sticking a magnet "anywhere" is not that great an idea IMO The reason the PE/HKS/Greddy magnets are the size/shape and positioned where they are is so the oil flows over and around the magnet with as little disruption as possible and without the chance of clogging up one area of the filter.

bigkevracer Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Damn. Just ordered a new HKS filter on ebay. Ah well, just buy the Greddy ones next time if they're heaps cheaper.

You should be okay with a semi for 5000kms.... BUT considering the power level and previous issues with turbo failure, why would you skimp on the life blood of your engine? Oh, and oil is not there to extract power from your engine, it is there to lubricate and clean. Whom have you been talking to that measure how good an oil is by the kw +/-???

Whom have you been talking to that measure how good an oil is by the kw +/-??? no i meant as in maybe 1kw less.. as its quality isnt up there with sougi.. im not using it, just voicing what i was told. im really dreading the day i have to go back to buying $120 worth of 300v, or whatever the rediculously stupid price is.

Yeah, well the GW "oil engineer" recommended a 20w50 mineral oil for my 170hp GSXR1000; Worst. Oil. EVER. I argued the toss with him, as I was face to face in their head office in Penrith, and he assured me HEAPS of other GSXR owners were using it, and loved it. Well either they, or him are stupid wankers. Bike wouldn't idle, wouldn't rev out; felt about 30hp down. Threw that shit away, never again. Silkolene 10w40 full synth; back to normal. Bad advice; shit oil. Edited July 7, 2011 by Daleo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185569-m35-info/page/56/#findComment-5901467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to feed me all manner of bunkum about how a mineral was WAAAY better for my situation than a Semi or even Full Synth. Explained the engine, and the fact it was turboed, told him that cost wasn't an issue but he still pushed it. I asked if he was a salesman, but he assured me he was one of their engineering staff.
