My gtr has used Castrol Edge 10w-60 since the previous owner had the motor built by Willall Racing.

I've done 2 oil changes (with nissan filters) in the 5 months/1000km of me owning it and never had any problems.

Have you got a oil cooler yet?

Hopefully I will have mine before the drags.

40+ every day during january, sometimes hotter

holy bollocks. thats pretty hot. :) if you really wanna get an accurate answer your best bet would be to get in contact with the oil company themselves. They do rigorous testing with their oils. send them an email on what type of car it is, engine type, and they'll also wannna know the different weather patterns in your location. sometimes we do it where i work. were swapping over the oil in one of our ships which is coming over from Alaska which will now be stationed in Northern Territory and surrounding asian countries. We also have to upgrade the cooling system too.

This might be helpful for some.

Let me know if the link doesnt work..

Buying good and reliable oil can save you $$$ of engine problems and ect.

Oil just aint oil. The stuff kittles use in my car is some castrol 10-40 crap and i can chew it in 1,200k's easy driving.

What ever you do Leeboi, dont use cheap shit. Tho ive heard to use castrol edge formula R 10w60 man. Its heavyish and would decrease how much you chew. Give it a wirl. Im going to go towards Motul 300V. But im still got 3000 k's to decide :action-smiley-069:

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
