Just bought myself a 32 gtst, and even though the owner said it had been recently serviced, not taking any chances. Looking at doing a thorough service on it. Pads and rotors still in good condition so they dont need doing. Car has done 175,xxx k's so im not going to do the water pump etc this service, save that for 200,000 service.

  • Engine Oil
  • Gearbox Oil
  • Diff Oil
  • Brake Fluid
  • Power Steering Fluid
  • Fuel Filter
  • Oil Filter

Im just looking for reccomendations on what oils to use, specifically for the gearbox and diff, what do nissan reccomend for them? Cant find any info about that.

For engine probably just use Nulon 10w-40.

Also anyone got a workshop manual with how much oil to use and etc, much appreciated! And i heard that you should overfill RB20's with 1 litre more oil than reccomended, any truth to that?

Thanks (:

pretty sure that thread, and simons response was for someone that wanted to take their car out drifting and related to engine oil, where the oil would move around in the sump. Over filling the car can sometimes mean the crank will be swimming in the oil, churning it causing it to go foamy and get full of air bubbles. Air bubbles do not pass through bearings well, and would cause less oil to reach the top of the engine, thus resulting in lower oil pressure, and worn upper engine components and failed bearings. This can also be the case in other parts of the cars driveline for a normally driven car.

    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
