I am looking to replace my engine, gearbox, diff oils and brake fluid on my R32 GTR. I need to find out how much oil and fluids I required for the change?

Any help appreciated

Engine - Motul 4100 (next time 8100) - 4ltr

Gearbox - Redline Shockproof - How much?

Diff - Any recommendations for what to use? - How much?

Brake fluid - Motul RBF 600 - How much?

If people are interested it might be worth posting the amounts for each Skyline as I couldn't find the information anywhere else on the forum?

Thanks

This is for a 33 GTR I presume the 32 would be similar amounts.

Engine - 5L fill it all the way up to the hump on the stick, helps with surging issues, I use 10W60 Edge

Box - Only use shockproof if your box is rooted, otherwise no need to, use Motul Gear300 approx 4L, fill till it come out the fill hole...

Diff - Some sort of good Hypoid GL-5 85W90 the motul one maybe just to stay the same :cheers: but probably need about 1.5L and same deal you fill it till it come out the fill hole

Brake Fluid - RBF600 is the shit, to do a full system flush buy at least 2 bottles......

Hope this helps.....also while your at it all I found putting a good synthetic ATF fluid in the steering makes a world of difference. And also might wanna look into doing the transfer case while your at it all :D

Thanks for your response.

Why not use shockproof for the box? How about 75W90 instead?

As for the diff (front open diff, rear LSD) Some say LSD oil all round while others say

I am getting different advice on the Transfer Case, I have heard to use a high temp ATF, Nissan Matic D, synthetic ATF? What about volume of ATF?

Thanks again

4.2L for the engine.

As I stated there is a reason I use more than what nissan recommend which is actually 4.5L not 4.2L. Any reason you are recomending to use less oil?

Godzillr:

I can't remember what the reason for not using it in a good box was just remember someone explaining it to me, I think if you have a read of it on the redline site it actually says it's for use in worn gearboxes. I think the motul300 is a 75W90 Oil.

Just had a quick look through my R32 manual and it says Nissan Matic D which is the Nissan Auto Trans Fluid. High Temp, Synthetic, Matic D will all do the same job. Just get a good Synthetic one and it will match or better the properties of Matic D and will also be High Temp. I like the Motul Synthetic ATF. just fill everything up to the fill hole, transfer case wouldn't be any more than 2L I think.

^ Reasons?

Just been having a quick look at the redline website, I can find it mentioned anywhere, but the customer testimonials, both people are using it in damaged/worn boxes as a sort of 'quick fix'.....just a thought I suppose, unless some can shed some more light on this?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
