hey guys, i have a nismo GT-LSD pro TT going into my 33 and was wondering what's the deal with oils...

do you use a mineral oil for the run in like a motor?

or should i use the nismo oil for the run in, then fill with motul?

or vice versa?

thanks :)

I just put generic lsd oil in for the run in, dumped it then put the kazz stuff in. Just remember the most important part of running the diff/clutch packs in is to 'clutch in' before turning full lock at the start off each end of the figure 8. Alot of people just go out and do figure 8's with out clutching in which is one of the worst things you could do for the lsd. Then they wonder why its overly noisy :ermm:

But at the end of the day its up to you, if spending the extra $100 on another bottle of Nismo oil is going to give you piece of mind that your $1500 odd lsd is going to be looked after then it might be worth it.

i just chucked in the supplied oil (veruspeed 80w90 with nismos?) and went and did figure 8's for half an hour at a fairly constant 20km/h. then tracked it a few times :sick:

No idea if it is synthetic or not. i may have to look that up prior to the next oil change.

My diff is the clunkiest, tightest, mechanical i have ever driven and it works brilliantly.

Kaaz are really just covering their arse with the bedding in details to protect them from the idiots who decide to go out and flog f**k out of the car once the diff goes in thinking now they can drift. As long as you do some sort of low load bedding for a reasonable amount of time you will be fine.

And their service intervals are just silly. 10,000km? Stock plate type mechs are still 40k intervals, so again, i'd say arse covering.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
