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.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
