Hey guys reasonably new to forum but have been reading alot in project forum. Im about to do an oil change on my gearbox and have been doing research and it seems like a hassle to fill it with oil using the filler plug. You have to use a pump or some other crazy way. My question is can i open the filler plug, take out the gear shifter and fill it from there, getting someone else to tell me when it starts coming out (you're supposed to fill it till it comes out of filler plug right?).

Also the gear shift boot is split and leaking, does anyone have the part number on this? rb25det s1 r33.

Cheers.

Or buy a pump from bunnings that fits onto your oil container (they make them for the 4ltr workshop hand cleaner), cost me $8.00 if I remember correctly, I also got 1/2 meter of clear hose that fits the pump, all up cost about $10, its easier than doing it from inside and you dont run the risk of overfilling or spillage inside the cab.

Ill take a photo when I can.

Nothing is easier than buying a pump as mlr suggested crawling under your car undoing 1 bolt and pumping it in..your gumma have to crawl under there to empty it anyway...

How's the redline work for you Mark? thinking of switching to it as well..

I used the Redline prior to getting the box rebuilt as the syncros were on the way out, it seemed to smooth it out well, for a while anyway, when I drained the fluid to first put it in there was little bits of syncros stuck to the drain plug, after a few track days when I drained the oil again there was lots of big peices of syncros.

Im running Nulon everywhere ATM.

Thomas, you can get Redline (smurf blood) from JustJap in Kirrawee: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17082&cat=&page=1

Getting the 3.8L works out a bit cheaper than buying the 0.9L bottles

mrl's idea about getting a handwash pump and hose is perfect to pumping the new oil in.

As other people have mentioned don't bother filling up through the gearstick. Stick to the fill/drain plugs underneath.

The plugs will be in tight so make sure you have a torque wrench to get some leverage and crack them loose. ALWAYS start with the fill plug (higher up) incase you cant crack the drain plug loose.

Anymore questions let me know.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.

      Is the problem that we just disconnected the line, does it need to be plugged? I’d rather not buy another master cylinder

      Clutch is same same. Tailshaft is not. Diff will drop in. Half-shafts will not mate up (5x1 on turbo, 3x2 on NA). There is also the strong possibility that your auto NA gets its speed signal from the sensor on the diff, not the gearbag, and that will leave you without a speedo. You can do all this, you just have to do a lot more than you thought.
