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..

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.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
