Os Giken 5 Speed, What Oil?


Recommended Posts

Picking up my rebuilt R33 GTR gearbox with an OS Giken Cross Gear Set fitted along with new bearing/synchros etc.

What do you guys recommend the best oil to use is and id like a short shifter but do these put more strain on the box?

Thanks guys

Redline light weight shock proof

If you buy a shifter i would get a C's short shifter cost a bit but are a very good unit and bolt on in like 5 to 10mins when in the car if box out half that. They only shorten the gear select action and can not put strain on the box any different to a standard shifter.

Agree with everything pnblight has said. I use the Redline lightweight Shock Proof Oil - great stuff and I have the C's Short Shift - another great item, just wish I had the OS Giken Cross gear set......mmmmm very nice :)

I wish i had a OS Giken Cross gear set also, as they seem to be the pick of the crop for street use (valve for money) and leewah is putting what 800awhp through his but i will add i believe he's got a few extra bit like billet centre plate etc to help with stability. Well it's only one power ball away hehehe

I personally wouldn't use the reline oils, ive seen some interesting left overs it creates inside the gearbox on a few boxes that have been pulled apart..

id go for the mobil or elf competition oils, just get one with a suitable weighting for your needs, you may also need to blend..

    • Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30. just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years. cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body.    already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together. this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!! thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️ att.jiLuuIrdYfPMplUAOjVfrq4OOOc082zjTnt1kJrhKVQ.mp4
    • Oooh, right. That makes so much more sense. For some reason I was picturing them selling a variety of pipe ends with nipples on them... Solid reasoning.
    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
