may i suggest while you are at it, add in nulon diff treatment to the transfer case. I added everyting on mine except the engine and power sterring for the diff treatment and its much smoother.

Probably more a question for those running manual Stageas but what sort of oil are people running in their transfer case? I've got some Elf stuff in mine (can't remember grade) but just curious

What's the difference between a manual and automatic transfer case?

:( cheers :(

:thumbsup: cheers :woot:

hey gary they are actually different as i have had both a gtr manual tf case and a stagea auto tf case on the bench disassembled totally side by side. its nuthin to do with its operation, only the auto one is alot less heavy duty in its parts and most noticable is the gtr one has 6 lugs pressing onto the clutch packs and they stagea one only has 4 lugs instead so alot less surface area to press the clutch packs together.

thats my useless 2c worth :P

Yeh, yeh, we know. But we were talking about transfer case oil. So the question was what is the difference between the oil you use in a automatic transfer case and a manual transfer case.

And the answer is....................

NONE

:yes: cheers :rolleyes:

LOL yea they are the saeme. BTW when did Bp bought Castrol? I thought Castrol is an american company?

Castrol was listed on the London Stock Exchange, so it's hardly American

BP announced the take over in March 2000.

I suggest that you had better go back to your previous post and remove the incorrect statements, some people may read them and get the wrong idea.

We have used ONLY Castrol lubricants in the race and road cars for over 20 years and never had one lubricant related problem. No, I don't work for Castrol and never have. No, I don't sell Castrol products and never have, I just use them (with total confidence).

:miner: cheers :laugh:

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
