Clearing G70 Out Of My Gearbox?

Hi all,

I bought my gts-t with 86,000ks. the gearbox was notchy when I bought it, no doubt the oil was original.

I bought some VMX80 and nulon G70 as recommended by various people.

After the change the box shifted great! but slowly it has gotten worse again. I have read its due the nulon being too slippery and not letting the synchros engage.

So I am going to drain it out and put some redline shockproof in. I have bought the redline already.

What I want to know is, if I drain the oil over night will it get all the nulon out? Will the little bit left over do enough to cause the now oil or box any more harm?

Thanks

Jason

You won't get the G70 out by simply draining the gearbox. My understanding is that the G70 (Teflon) basically bakes onto the gear surfaces to provide improved anti-friction properties.

      This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it.

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
