I can't really say what is best for the VR30 as I don't have one, but I know plenty of people have said things about oil weights in the past without a whole lot of evidence, so I would be wanting some empirical evidence that 0W-20 is causing problems before I go with a different oil weight. Plenty of people have told me the recommended 5W-30 oil is too thin for the VQ35 in our warmer environment, yet I have been using it in a V35 skyline in North Queensland since 2011 without issue. Based on the manual you posted, it looks like 5W-40 will be ok, but no idea if it would be 'a better choice'.

Yeah look, after going crazy wondering why my LS1 made 280kw, and every other LS1 in Australia made under that for the mods I had done (260-280kw) and in the USA the cars with the same mods made 300-320rwkw this R34 GTR making about 40KW more than it would in Australia really rings true. GTR's do easily run a little more boost than advertised with restrictors etc that can be removed. They're one of the rare cars where you can just turn up the boost a little and the ECU and other things are mapped and handle it. Perhaps this has already been done in this instance, stock GTR's can also be mapped up to about ~280kw without any hardware changes yeah? (forum please correct me) Could have already been done in the past. Take it to the strip to confirm because MPH will be the same no matter what continent you're on.

This is a car that should not be being driven around. Also, an untuned car running rich due to mods is... never a thing. Also, driving an untuned car long enough that you're inspecting the oil is all sorts of wrong. You are speedrunning the Car-Darwin awards here dude. I get it, you want to have fun and be cool in shiny toy.

These engines are in the 400z not 370z. 0w20 was used to passed emissions and also provide a lower fuel consumption. I am personally using 5w30 in my Q60s as the 0w20 is too thin for my liking and I drive with a heavy foot.
