Kenny you gotta keep the car looking sexy all the time man! Wash her!

 

Ebay. That's why I'm asking..

 

You get what you pay for is the general rule that I follow. Also, eBay stuff is generally low quality anyway.

 

Hey guys does some one need a set of tein s techs and tokico shocks the shocks are just for the front....

 

hmmm.....as a general rule of thumb, i dont buy from ebay unless i know the product well enough to know the difference from junk and certified parts bro!! You're better off hitting up a vendor on Driver.....just my .02

 

agree

 

quick question.. What is the best kind of oil to get and what kind of filter? Its an 06 G35 coupe with 40156 miles. Thanks guys!

 

You are going to find that all synthetic oils are pretty much the same these days. I am using Castrol Edge 5W-30 and like it so far. I am going to get an analysis done after 6k miles. I was using German Castrol Oil 0W-30 and it actually was found to run a lot thicker than most all 5W-30 oil. It really is up to you. Definitely use synthetic oil. For this area 5W-30 is good for your car. I have 60k on mine and it runs great and heats up in the cold pretty quick. I dont know how much knowledge you have on oil, but there is a sticky on oil on this forum that might be beneficial to you. I know several other guys use Mobil and other types but most are so close there is not that much different in brands. Hope this helps!!

 

krock, i agree with Doc 5w-30 will be fine, i use mobile 1 5w-30

the filter you can go 2 ways, go to infiniti and get it or go to walmart and use their lil computer to tell you what you need by make an model
the nissan filter comes with a new oil pan plug gasket, others will not though it is not needed

too bad you missed out on last weekend we could have done it then

 

Mobil 1 and nissan oil filter............

 

I've taken plenty of Nissan engines apart and found that even with conventional oil changed on a regular basis the engines are clean inside. Even after 200k miles. That being said I still use Mobil 1 synthetic in my own cars. Might be a good idea for yuze gize(like the Jersey phrase) to run synthetic since the VQs are know for high oil temps.

Ryan,
Sorry I didn't have time to speak to you about the spacer you bought. That day turned a little hectic and I didn't see your posts until recently. I believe the purpose of the locktite is to seal the threads of the 6 center bolts where they go thru the plenum. The factory uses the gasket but since you use the spacers on those bolts they don't compress the gasket properly. I don't think this would be a significant vacuum leak if you didn't seal them but some of our A/F ratio sensors can be a little sensitive. Sorry to be so long winded.

 

no it makes total sense, i didnt even have some of the hardware thanks to the guy i got it from....but i ordered the hardware kit from motordyne it comes with locktite lol

i will get with you on it soon as well i need to take a look at my exhaust its buzzing on something may need to adjust it and re-torque the bolts would be real easy on a lift
