Hey guys i had my oil filter relo kit installed 6 months ago and now its leaking where the oil filter is so i thought it was the bolts/studs for the holes that you would put guage senders in so i put PTFE tape on one of them and theres another one that i danno if its leaking or not hmmm so if i put PTFE tape on all of them shold it be ok?

Cheers

They usually have 'O' rings on the adaptor or flange nut. Don't need teflon, just a new 'O' ring.

hmmm well these allen key threads don't have O rings? so i just used some plumbers tape so its holding up ok i guess...so what is there to use to stop a leak? i used industrial plumbers tape high temp or something and its ok atm? the defi web site says use PTFE to install gauge sensor onto sandwich plate if there is a leak? so thats why i used the PTFE for first allen key nut thing what is alternative other then PTFE? or the industrial plumbers tape? the kit never came with o-rings apart for the hose bits which connects to the two adaptors and just another O ring that bolts onto the block hmmmi might try the loctite stuff if it still leaks

Cheers

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones

      No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.

      You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
