Hey,

As everyone says "search and you shall find" but in a ruder tone. All this info has been covered its just a matter of finding it. Anyways i did mine about a week or 2 ago and it went like this:

Oil: Motul 4100 turbolight 10W/40, 5L $49.99 @ autobarn.

Oil filter: Ryco Z145 $15.80 @ autobarn (i think i got 10% off).

As for the filter you can get a nissan genuine filter, $15 i think.

After alot of research thats what i ended up using and in future will use the motul oil and genuine nissan filter. Theres no point in using motul 300v unless your heading for the tracks.

Incase your going to ask i bought genuine coolant from nissan and bought spark plugs and a fuel filter from autobarn so if you want to know the numbers for them let me know.

CASTROL EDGE 10w60 as recomended to me by a Drift Mechanic I run it in my RB25DET R34 last couple off services and used to always in my old S14A Silvia SR20DET try to stick to a genuine Nissan oil filter if you can!!!! Also my girlfriend has a DC5 Type R Integra had some V-Tec trouble changed the oil with this and fixed it.

Usually you only have VTEC trouble when the oil gets low :)

Seems to me like the old oil/filter combo comes down to personal preference. What works for you is fine.

Iv always used Magnatec in my cars, previous DC2 Type R, regularly tracked. And i never had any problems of pressure loss due to heat etc etc. So i continue to use it in my R33 GTS25t. So far so good. I read so many things bout people saying it is shit, but its always what the person has "heard" or "read". Never actually had any hard evidence of it being shit. Haha

Regular 5000km changes of oil.filter = :D

Preferbley find an oil that works well and stick to it.

I had to find an oil that as not too think / too thin.

I have tried Martini Full Synthetic 10W 40 (Bit too thin and burned off too easily) / Valvaline 20W 50 (TOO THICK!!... no go) Shell Helex 15W 50, OK but in the long run no good.

Final Mobil Sythetic S 10W 40 which was a semi sythetic oil and the car runs very smooth.

A 10w-60 is good for the track but to thick for street driven cars you should be looking at a 10w-40 or lower.

Any synthetic - Motul, Redline, Royal purple, Mobil 1, Castrol, Penrite.

i use the nw DRIFT oil filters, $19 magnet, nut on end for easy removal etc.. best filter around.

oh never use penrite sin stuff sucks in rb's.... used in customer cars when they supplied it excessive pressure drop and excess noise after 2000kms when other oils are fine, i stick to redline 10w40 and motul 10w-40 300v

^^^ 3/4 sounds right.

Ryco Z145a Filters. ~10$

Mobil 1 5w-50w fully syn. ~68$

Usually dont need to buy the expensive filters as most likely u will change them every 5000kms. But if u want to keep them longer then go for it :happy:

I was running Apexi UFO's (~$15-$20 USD) on my ER34 RB25DET(Neo) and BCNR33 RB26DETT. Now I have these Sard Sports Mag+ Filters SMF00(~$15-$20 USD). Hopefully they'll fit and workout alright.

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15w-50 Extended Performance $8 USD a liter.

Running German Castrol 5w-40 in an R32 GTR, filter oem

Still trying to figure out why people use a 10-20w in thier cars unless your racing? The most engine damage is done starting the engine cold the lower the first digit the better. A 10w oil is thicker at startup compared to a 0w or 5w. No oil gives total lubrication when cold but hence the oil companies are leaning towards lower first digit oils now e.g 0w. The second number is the viscosity of the oil at operating temps, 40 is good for skylines unless racing in hot conditions. Also its better to use an API rating of SL or SM rather than SJ which is stated in the oem manual as the SL and SM are a better oil using the latest technology and wernt around when SJ was popular. You will get better results in regards to maximum cam plus lifter wear, sludge build up, high temperature volatility amongst alot of other things with an API rating of SL or SM over SJ. SM should be better than SL

Motor oil that is labeled for RACING ONLY is not usable for every day driving. Often these have more additives that are toxic to your catalytic converters and the environment. These oils generally do not have detergents. Use these oils if you plan on taking your engine apart and cleaning it every few weeks

This site is very helpul explaining oils

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
