Or which one to now use with my "summer car" (I have Nissan S13 with 1JZ-GTE VVTi) with little BPU mods and drifting etc?
Heres summer is +10-25c...

Redline or special oils are here about 5x the price than regular oils (like mobil).
 
I just was worried something about PAO oils and i dont really know...

Is there difference do i buy FS or ESP? 1JZ(or 2JZ) is pretty old 24v engine, but it have VVTi and original oil is 0w-30 i think.

New Life did not contain much PAO, and FS does not either, so not much change there.

Seeing as you are in Finland, I'd say you can run either one of these oils.
 
Personally, if I could get the ESP off the same shelf for close to the same price that's the one I would go with but I wouldn't pay a high premium for it.
