Red Line Synthetic ShockProof™ Gear Oil FTW!

See here: http://www.redlineoil.com.au/Uploads/Downl...0TR%2002_03.pdf

and here: http://www.redlineoil.com.au/technical-dat...sp?CategoryID=3

I got mine through a groupbuy on here some time ago, from Unique Autosports, but i doubt it's still going.

Its quite expensive, but well worth the $$$.

Good Luck :unsure:

..and then again, if you talk to people who know about oils, they will tell you to stay away from lightweight shockproof in the long run.

I changed my gearbox oil to castrol vmx80 with nulon g70 additive. Had bad 4th gear syrncho issues before, now it is gone.. has taken a couple of tanks of fuel but its a lot nicer now.

personal opinion.

Hey, I'm not trying to be a smart-arse, but I'm just curious as to who said it and why?

I've used Red Line shockproof for 20,000km and haven't had a problem...come to think of it it's time for another oil change...

I sort of gathered that you weren't trying to be.. and neither was I.

From links like here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ight+shockproof

and from redline's own web site http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlub...mp;categoryID=6

from trying to find a close supplier locally and basically being told by a few people that it isn't the best for my box, main reason given was it is a GL5 oil, which is known to be bad for the brass component of synchro assemblies,

and other forums browsing.. filtering I guess you would call it. I understand that it works well, but if even the manufacturer says not to use it, then I began looking for alternatives and that is what I found.

Search around for GL5 and synchro. Make up your own mind. MTX is a lot cheaper though.. :D

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.

      Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them.

      Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.

      Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
