Servicing

Hey guys just curious I'm going to be doing a service on my car (R33 gtst, closing in on 145xxx K's), changing all the fluids and oils so I know 100% what's been done with and to my car. My question is how do I know what viscosity the oil's should be and what?

What have you guys used and seen responds well with your car?

I'll be doing the Engine oil, Coolant, Diff oil, Clutch fluid, Brake fluid/flush, Transmission oil. 

Sorry to be a big noob and a bother, but cheers in advance :)

Most owners use 10w-40 viscosity.

You can check out the lube guides they tell you what you need.

Yeah there is a thread in this section I believe (think it is stickied at the top) called 'the goods on oils' that is a pretty good guide to engine oils. Im using penrite 10 tenths 10w-40 engine oil, redline lightweight shockproof in the gearbox (manual), castrol syntrax (i think) in the diff, kenworth all-cool coolant (because its free for me) and have wilwood brake oil in the brake and clutch im pretty sure

And you can use royal purple or motul or any fancy oil you want...........but it is unlikely that you or your car will notice any difference from a good quality oil from penrite/castrol/etc etc

But its a personal choice.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
