There is an active thread about fluids on nissan silvia. Im going to get penrite sin fully synthetic 75W90 for the gear box and the 80W?? for the diff. (Coming up to 90,000km)

You can get redline stuff from ebay from an online wholesaler -- but it seems too cheap. I wouldnt know if its the right shapped bottle with a fake sticker on it or not.

Oh and check how much of it you need too.. for the blu200 its about 1.5L for the gearbox and 1.2L for the diff. Ill get 2L.

As for getting penrite sin oils.... Save up your $$$ and then go online and register your email address with Repco. You get a 20% discount voucher for your next visit. Im going to spend a few hundred on Oils (engine diff box), radiator fluid, sparkplugs if they have the ngk, and maybe oil filters.

Are you thinking about Limslip 85W140?

As for the original poster, if you are going to get an oil for the diff, then it is probably a good idea to get a oil specifically made for diff applications and that is where the Limslip oil comes in (hense the name).

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
