well im bookin my baby in for a major service and im not happy with the gearbox oil in it.. i had a heavy oil in it when i first bought it but as posted then it was crunchin when changing down into 4th and sometimes when going in to 4th on the way up if givin it some.. as im aware its the synchros however then i had a lighter oil put in to allow for the synchros to open quicker...

but ive been told to try one of those redline shock treatment's as many people have stated that they help fix that problem..

So after all that bs, my question is what a real good oil to use and or does that redline stuff work and which one.?

any help would be appreciated..

Cheers,

Corey

+ 3 for red line shockproof...

There are three types... heavy, light and superlight from memory...

I used the light one.. as mention above its the blue coloured one.

Expect to pay for it tho.. i think i paid 120 for 1 us gallon... or 3.8 litre in our terms.

yea it does

something about the particles going into the gears making it smoother..

not exactly sure on the technical info behind it

But it came high recommended from a trusted mechanic.

so i put it in, and it is as sweet as ever.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
