The engine is 1996

My friend at my local Nissan parts engine said for the VG30DETT to use 10w40 fully synthetic. People do recommend thicker oil for older vehicles though. I recently put 10w30 fully in mine.

I think we may put that in! Any particular brand ?

Have recently put castrol edge 5w40 fully-synthetic in my tt and oil pressure etc is spot-on, oil pressure builds up quicker on startup and has virtually silenced the hydraulic tappets from cold.

Safe enough to run on a single turbo?

the engine is 1996, and is a twincam single turbo z31? i take it thats the really limited edition one,towards the end of the run the 300zr or whatever its called? didnt realise they where still in production in 1996

The Z31 300zr was available from 1986 as a JDM only model, and was a 24v v6 with a single turbo, and was no longer produced in 1996 as Z32 production replaced the Z31 in 1989.I would say that if the DOHC lump in the Z31 is a 1996 engine then its a transplanted engine
