Hey guys, just wondering if I can put Motul FF LSD Type 2 in both my gearbox and diff? I bought them few weeks ago at autobarn, one of their staff recommended to me. But people from work says dont put lsd oil in the gearbox cuz its thick. What do you guys reckon? Thanks in advance!

I was running Redline Shockproof Heavy in the rear diff in my R33 GTR Vspec and it was causing the diff to bejust too tight so I replaced it with Motul LSD Type 2 and it is now working perfectly.

I also have purchased some more Motul LSD Type 2 to run in the gearbox in the same car at the next oil change.

This oil was designed for front wheel drive cars that have the diff and gearbox in the same housing so is perfect for gearboxes and diffs.

Thanks Charles!

I'll use it for my diff then. As my car doesn't have a diff in the gearbox, should I just use regular gear oil instead of Motul LSD Type2?

This stuff is not thick by any means and it is Motul's product that is made to compete with the Redline Shockproof range of oils.

I will be using it my GTR's gearbox following its great performance in the diff but the final decision is yours to make.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
