Oil Capacity

[johnboyhardy]

hey guys replacing all the oils inmy r34 gt t. what are all the capacities so i can fill them correctly, ie engine, gear box, diff, etc. also what are the best spark plugs to get and what is the gap size of them. ooh and is a fuel filter from supercheap (specifically for the gt t) adequate.

my understanding is 4.5-5l for the engine but not sure on diff and gearbox. Just check the dipstick afew times ..don't overfill, it's easier to top up a little

as for spark plugs .. everyone seems to be using/recommending NGK coppers, BCPR7ES I think .. or 6ES. I was told to use 7s on last service but I'm gonna try 6s this time. On last service the 7s were gapped to .8mm (stock coils) and the car was misfiring badly on idle and low rpm, regapped to 1mm and it was OK. Not sure why mine misfired on .8mm gap when everyone seems to recommend .8mm gap but yeah that's what happened.

My GTT makes 190rwkw or so on 11psi so I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks is the right heat range for spark plugs (GTT here too). I do mostly short trips so I'm worried the 7s might foul up and the cars performance with the 7s seems to be different every day.

So how do you replace the diff oil an how much, ive heard also its about 4.7l for the engine so thats sweet. would like a spec sheet on all oil capacities. would like to know what exact plugs to use so i dont get any probs.

Can't believe how long it took me to search for an answer on the manual transmission and LSD oil capacity. Just filled it today (R34 GT-T). For future reference:

Manual transmission: Redline LWSP ~3.5L

LSD: Castrol Limited Slip 90 ~1.6L
