Any of you guys know how much fluid the 32GT-R gearbox takes ? (capacity)

Keep filling it through the gear stick hole until it comes out the plug in the side which is the fill level, which is about 3.8 litres from memory

Today was a good day at work, not much to do and i got to drive the new Alfa Romeo Gulietta 1750cc turbo, fun car in the rain

How so Lol ?

Mr. benno tried it. it fills your transfer case and not the box from memory, Unlike a gtst box. It spat it all back out through the car, Gotta love the smell of gear oil through your car.

Nah dirt isn't a problem. Car is filthy anyway and we'll be leading = no rocks flicking up at us :thumbsup:

Cool.

Yeah that sounds about right for a 25 box.

Really?? Gearboxes take THAT much??

25 box yeah, 20 box takes a fair bit less. No idea what a GTR box takes but I'd guess it'd be close to a 25 box.

I like saying box.

HI NOEL!!!!

Isn't the gear box oil shared between the transfer case, box and diff in the gtrs? That's what my driveline appears to be anyway. One filler spot, random piping going everywhere... looks like a slag of a job to do without a hoist tbh.

Dont quote me on it John but please ask a wiser head before you go ahead. It got very ugly from memory.

I did get ugly for sure, my car still reeks of transmission oil lol

There's your answer guys, this is the very car it happenned to. Cheers Bunt.

I wasn't asking so i could fill it through the top of the box (would much rather use a ratchet pump and the filler hole on the box). I was asking because if they share the same fluid, that would be why they hold heaps. can't quote properly on the new fag vesion of sau or i would have quoted ravi's question.

But anyway... whatever. Back to my little corner.

Yeah it's pretty hard :blink:

Morning mangs.... this weather is now turning to shit. Out west is just destroyed, and now it looks like storms today according to the forecasts.

It got very ugly

That's what she said.

We had it coming, humanity deserves to be wiped out.

I live near the river, but im about 6-7 m above bank level it is expected to only go about 1m above that so im not overly worried

Expected to go 1m above bank level or 1m above your 6-7m?

when I quickly scanned through this, I read it as, "I live near the river, but im about 6'7"

I was thinking:

1. Well, at least your head will be out of the water

2. Bunta isn't that tall the stinking liar

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
