Does anyone know which gearbox and diff oil is good for the Skyline R34 GTT. My car has done about 44,000 km and it is very hard to change into 2nd gear. So I suspect it could be the gearbox and diff oil that needs changing.

I am also confused with the fact that people are saying the R34 have LSD, I thought only the R34 GTR got LSD, not the GTT right. Can anyone verified?

Thanks

i use redline gear box oil, it worked well on my gear changing problem " crounchy on 4th if im reving up high in a drag or somethin".. its a lil expensive about 120 ish but its good stuff. can only try.. it has fixed a few friends problems too but sometimes it dosent..

good luck

I have the same problem in my 32.. Changing down at high RPM from 5th to 4th it crunches no matter what.. 3rd to 4th is fine under any conditions..

It currently has the lightest gearbox oil..

besdies from changing oils to this redline juice.. any other ideas on what it could be?

Cheers..

lol.. sorry.. I think I hijacked your thread..

share the love :P

damn thats expensive but much cheaper than opening the gear box to try n rebuild it or sort out the sinchro problems.. or even worse leaving it crunching n chipping out ur gears... just shop around performance shops get it a lil cheaper usually :P

The gear hasn't started crunching yet, but I feel that 2nd gear is just a bit hard to get into unless you match the rev closely, but other gears seem fine. The problem is bit worst in cold engine but gets better when its warmed up.

Yeh, thanks for the advice guys, I will try shop around a bit more.

Yep, just went down to the local auto shop and they are selling those for a whopping $172 per US Galon. Wow, so expensive. Anyone know where I can find it cheaper in SA? or any online dealer?

Try this one

Performancelub

Or some Sprints may be able to get it.

no, no slipping yet. Just not smooth from 1st into 2nd gear. When you get into gear it works fine.

Thanks for that bigslick, definitely got much better price there. I will probably get in contact with them to hook me up with about 5 litres. Should I flush the gearbox before changing the oil? or is that not necessary? My car has done about 44,000 km (supposively) when I bought from dealer about 1 month ago.

does a r34 take 5 litres of gear box oil???

I know the r33 takes just under 3.8 litres...

In regards to the oil, assuming the r34 and r33 is similar just undo the bottom plug on the gearbox and drain out all the oil. SHould be good enough. THen undo the one on the top side and fill her up using a pump of some kind....

Dont forget to seal the plugs... the screws should be taperd to prevent leaking but a little bit of sealant wouldnt hurt =) and saves u wasting v. exp gear box oil!!! :cheers:

i didnt flush mine, i just let it drain for a good 30-40 mins...

Dont forget to clean the magnet on the drain plug. SHould have alot of metal on it from all those "miss gear changes" and such.

Just received the Redline lightweight shockproof oil. I got 5 litres just incase if the diff needs it too.

But after reading some threads regarding the redline oil damaging the gearbox, I am bit hesitant to put it in now.

Because it seems for some reason, these couple of days the gears seem to change smoother. Maybe the damn heat wave in Adelaide is causing it, or maybe because my old HKS suspsension was a bit too hard and the car bounces around too much causing the gear to be harder to change to. Now I got the Tein SS it seems to be smoother.

So I think I will hold off for a few weeks and see how it goes first before putting the new oils in.

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
