I have had bad experiences driving Subaru's and too light oil. They ran lower weight oil on the exact same engine known for eating its rod bearings to get better gas mileage out of it with predictable results.

0W-X oils also have a pretty high viscosity index to compensate, meaning that even if it feels like water in room temperature it will not thin so much in operating temperature than thicker viscosity oils. They also contain much more additives so there is less base oil in the mixture.

my unproven but reasonable assumption about the cybertruck btw is that all the running gear is taken directly from their other cars. no custom drivetrain parts to accommodate the purported use case. like it's just a giant lifted model s with a body kit

You could stop there, but that's boring, if you go ahead and it breaks, that's a more entertaining video, plus they get to recover it, which is something their channel does, so hey more video performance. You can think it dumb but it's a living. Speaking of tracks, right or wrong?

I don't like that skyline kit, because it seemed like it would suffer for the same issues as the Cybertruck. There is a whole lot of leverage on the original suspension components, and it's very bad for the car in general. I've seen kits, where the top wheel of the tracks system is in the same space as the factory wheel would have been, so the weight transfers downward. Which would be a whole lot more rugged and usable. I believe someone makes those for Jeeps?

You'd have to cut away a lot of the bodywork to get the tracks to fit, which might not be necessary on jeeps and 4x4s, and something the owner of the skyline wasn't about to do. A purpose - built track car or a beater, hack away man.

Practically I think it's dumb as hell but I also think R34s are over hyped and overpriced and a very 'easy' way to buy your way into the cool kids club. Kinda like a DeLorean? So someone doing something neat with it is cool as hell. I also don't believe that is a GTR on account that they aren't legal to import yet. GTS sure yeah those are legal and also extremely plentiful.

If that was one of the handful of legal R34s that would be an awful thing to do to it.
