o.k before anyone tells me off i just want to say that i jsut want this question of mine answered simply as i just want to know if these oils will be the correct to buy for my r32 gtst. i knwo theres a eleventy billion ppage thread about oils but seriously cannot be bothered reading it all especially with specific individuals and their application. i want to knwo if these oils will be alright for my application.

now i just passed 100000kms and did my water pump and tmiing belt kit. in the next 1000kms or so i wanna do my engine, gearbox and diff oil to be changed especially with my gearbox as its getting pretty notchy.

i drive my 92 r32 gtst daily and it is as stock as a rock besides catback and pod. Never gonna be tracked and i usually just granny it around 80% of the time and boost it the rest.

went to super cheap and found these oils:

engine: Castrol Edge "Fully synthetic" 5w-40 for like 38.99 on sale but its gone back up to 50.00 or so

Mobil 2000 "semi synthetic" 10w-40 for about 34.99

Gearbox: Nulon "semi synthetic" 75w-90 43.99 i think.

Diff: haven't found anything.

alright jsut want to know if these will be o.k for a "DAILY" driver. I know there is alot of talk about castrol edge being really crappy but its gotta be better then what some people are putting into their car with fully synthetic on it and being the most expensive in the castrol range in super cheap?

now diff oil if the same as gearbox? can i use that nulon stuff? can someone suggest better oils that are under $50 for engine, gear and diff?

and how many litres of the oils do i need to top up the engine, gear and diff?

pls just straight answers and no flaming lolz.. thanks.

at work we use vmx80 gear oil for gearboxes and lsx90 for diffs. these go in everything from navaras to 350Zs, so im thinking it might be ok for you

cant be sure what amount for each... we pump them straight out of the barrel...

theres probably gonna be better and cheaper options for you though

edit- keep in mind im vague as at work though, i could be wrong

any other recommendations? i'm more worried about the gear box and diff oils then engine oil as i've made up my mind about getting the castrol edge sport 5W-30.

the nulon stuff sounds good?

also for the r32 owners how much oil is needed for engine, gearbox and diff?

go to ur nearest autobahn and check out the motul oils..get an assistant to help ya if u need it

in my '93 R32 GTS4 i only use motul oils.

Edited by vinnie32GTS4

any details on the oils...motuls engine oils are abit pricey especially for semi synth turbolight and group ii oil? haven't really seen motuls gear aand diff oils though.

75w-90 semi synth good for my gear box? can anyone at all tell me what to get for my diff?

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
