hey all,

im trying to change my diff oil, i can loosen the drain plug with a 1/2 ratchet, but the filler plug on the side of the diff is some kind of hexagon shape and none of my tools will fit in it. I was just wondering if any of you guys who have changed diff oil on a R33 GTS-T before tell me what kind of tool is necessary??

Thanks

umm...you have a special plug...normally it is identical to the drain plug :(

out of interest....you did follow the #1 rule and open the filler before you opened the drain plug right? otherwise you will need to tow it to a workshop if you can't open it.....

u can use a good old spanner...if u have a big enough one u can get soem leaverage...or use a pipe to extend it...it shouldn't be that hard though.

i only tried to see if i could loosen the plugs, didnt drain any oil. Far as i can see, only the drain plug is not stuck.

Where the hell is the filler plug for the r34 gtt I can't find the flamin mongrel anywhere I'm getting so frustrated right now.

It's on the diff.

Above half way up.

In the passenger side.

It's likely that your exhaust obstructs the view a bit.

Keep looking man. You can find it

    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
    • I’ll have more of a look into Recaros over the weekend. It’s taken me 2 days to figure out which Bride seats suit my application haha.
    • I am aware of their presence, but the product page looked like that conversion will eliminate the AWD capability. Fact remains it's kind of a hassle to send my oil sump halfway around the world and buying an extra one is expensive and unnecessary. Before I go hat route I'd explore more local options.    Would you recommend I just pull the engine and renew as many things as possible since I'm already having problems with some leaks? Would have to get an engine crane first though.
    • Are there any indicators that the vehicle is in limp mode?  Any dash light, or something.  Or is it just lack of acceleration?
