Hey all,

Im looking to change my gearbox and diff oils, on my r32gtst. I just use it for a daily drive and go on an occasional dash around mountains now and then.

What oils would u guys recommend and how much does this car take of each. I hear u guys talk about redline quite often. Is it worth the money?

Also I didn't think the clutch has any kind of fluid - i could be wrong...?

I got Redline MT90 for gear box yesterday, and Motul FF-LSD Type2 for front and rear diff (for R33 GTS4), was reading alot about oil for oast few days. So many recon redline shock proof are better but i found from some ppl its not good fro long run.

Red line light shock proof for gear box. Best oil out there by far... however you will pay the money for it.

Not sure about r32 but r33 takes just under 3.8 or 1 us Gallon.

For diff i just used castrol LSD 90.

That took around 1.7 litres... But again for an r33.

Don't use Redline lightweight shockproof if you don't have any problems with the gearbox, ie. crunching synchros.

If the box feels fine use another Redline oil or maybe a motul.

Shockproof isn't actually designed for synchro gearboxes, however many have raved about it's improvement for problem boxes.

For the clutch you will need a clutch/brake fluid.

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
