Hey ppl.

Happy new owner of a r34 manual 4 door with 70 000km.

So far have changed pads to bendix, oil change with 10-40w penrite fully synthetic and bosch filter.

Getting a power run Friday, wondering what it should make. I use mobile 8000.

With sump and filter they should take 5 litres of oil?

What oil pressure should they sit on (factory gauge)? Mine is just below 4 when driving. and bit over when boosting.

Also oil temp seem to be on 92 when fully warmed after 12 mins or so.

Are these figures normal?

Any noobie hints and tips with making the car last as a non thrashed daily?

Hi Samuel,

Welcome to SAU... :whistling:

All the figures you've quoted are OK. Oil temp can go to 97 up a hill at throttle.

Cheers, T

Tips?

If your car is just outta Japan, I'd change all coolant fluid and get the Jap H2O outta there lest it affect radiator, heater core etc.

Check for spot rust on rails, damaged areas (that have been presumably fixed OK).

Change oil every 5000Km. Keep logs/receipts to maintain value of your car (if one day you sell it).

Detail ie clay bar/polish/wax your car if there's any acid rain damage from Nippon

If it's a genuine 70,000 Km with Jap logs, everything is sweet: but if there's no logs that you can trust, you might think about changing timing belt/water pump.

as per your technical questions:

* Oil capacity is 4.5L for Rb25DE and DET for oil + oil filter change...

* as for oil pressure.. according to workshop manual, it depends on your Revs.

For Rb25DE 2000Rpm is 3.3 and 6000rpm is 5.3

for Rb25det 2000rpm is 3.5 and 6000rpm is 5.6

so what your displaying sounds about right for regular driving.

ill get back to you on the exact Oil temperature, shortly....

oil pressure sounds the same as mine. at first it is over 4 until the car gets to operating temps.

and as for the tips for keeping it in shape for a daily id say just service it regulary and only use the best fuel and it should be fine.

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
