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.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • 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
