Where to get decent oil for my r33 gtst from.

Up till now ive always used ELF, but i used to get someone else to do it (they were cheap) but they gone broke so figured its cheaper to do it myself.

Just dont know what type to get, is it 15w40 or something??? synthetic or semmi synthetic? brands? rough prices? where to get them from...

cheers fellow SAUers

2L when I was buying it, and was around 30 odd bucks a bottle.

when you need to buy 3 bottles (R33 GTS-t is 4.5L capacity from memory) it gets to around $100+ once you include a new filter.

Yeah 2L or 4L..

I use Royal Purple 10W-40 in my car for the moment. My last oil change cost me around $105 all up for oil and K&N Oil filter (for my extra 11ty billion spare wheel kWs y0! lol). My next change I'm going to grab a 20L drum of ELF Excellium and hope it ends up being cheaper in the long run ;)

Did you take your car to Joel at Excite Autos for service? He was pretty cheap, pity he has decided to close up shop, assuming I assume correctly :(

His warranties where through a separate company, no matter what happens with the place you bought the car from the warranty stands until it expires. Personally, I voided mine because I couldn't be bothered going to a mechanic to do something that I can do lol

Sorry to hijack the thread temporarily, has any one switched from Royal Purple to Elf, or Vice Versa that can do a direct comparison of both/// :0 thank you mighty wizards.

I went from ELF to Castrol Edge to Royal Purple... all I can say is that on two completely different days and two completely different dyno I got a 12 kW increase with the Royal Purple. Probably as accurate estimation which is the better as flipping a coin :P

friend of mine compared it in an xr6 turbo to royal purple, recons he had 3kw gain and cooler running temps than motul. Differnt days though, other variables i guess. but thats what he said....

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
