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.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
