Hi Guys

I notice there arent any stickies in here really, i think it would be a good idea if one of the topics on gear oil which one/how much, diff oil which one/how much, clutches used and impressions, diffs used and impressions was available. Now i know some people like the search function, but it would be some much easier for noobs to find info quick and give a good reference point to those who have been around awhile.

Point in case the sticky regarding wheel offsets and diameters, thats a great one.

For example i wish the gearbox and diff "stickies" would list exactly how much fluid each one required, i have searched and so far i have between 3.5L - 4.1L from here, and now my mechanic at a nissan dealership says that the box takes 5.1L, now i only have 3.8L of Redline Shockproof, which pisses me off no end, as i dont know which one to believe, i think hes wrong though after everything ive read here, even though its very vague.

Cant someone check a workshop manual? Get fluid levels for gearbox, diff, power steering, brake fluid.

cheers

just downlaod the manual and check yourself...

as for the gb fliud...I did mine today and it took just under 4l.. I think it takes 4.1.

The redline bottle gives you 4GL or 3.78l. you need to go down and buy the small 1GL bottle for $34 and will have mots of that bottle left over for next time.

I suspect the differneces in the fill amount might be cos ppl didn't get all of it out on the drain. As with the engine oil I got out just under the fillt qty and put that back in...perfect.

The 5.1L from the mechanic, he was basing that off a nissan patrol, wtf?

Anyway, ive had the gearbox oil replaced with Redline Lightweight shockproof, i got about 100ml back, and the diff oil replaced with the Redline MT90 gear oil, used 1 and 4/5ths of the 2 bottles i had.

As for downloading the manual, i did have a copy somewhere but its lost. And its for future reference, for all the noobs, and its easily available on the net for ANYONE to view, so presumably i could say to my mechanic, go check out SAU forums and look in such and such a section and find the info there. Just an idea.

cheers

I have drained and filled... correction... OVERFILLED an RB20 box.

I took out the bottom plug and drained the contents and 3.6 litre came out. I couldn't get the filling plug off so had to fill it by removing the shifter and pouring it down. I put exactly 4 litres in. and now the bottob of the car is covered in gearbox oil! so it is overfull...

so I will be putting 3.6 litre in next change.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
