I was just wondering if anyone happens to know how many quarts of ATF are supposed to be but in a tranny for an R32 Gtst. I already replaced it once, and guess i didn't get enough fluid in it (even though the dipstick said there was enough) because about a month or 2 later, the transmission was totally shot once again. I'm just wondering, because I'm running out of transmissions to put in it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a gear ratio difference between a tranny for a GTS and a GTS-t?

Thanks in advance.

No, I'm using the torgue converter that was with the tranny that I put it, what happened is that i did a auto-manual conversion on my GTS-t, and used the auto from the GTS-t to fix my wife's GTS (in which the tranny was totally shot). I already have everything together, and the tranny seems to be doing ok, but I want to make sure that I have at least close to the right amount of ATF in it, as I do not want to have to hunt down another AT.

So you are running a GTST auto in a GTS (N/A).

 

I'll look it up in the engine manual tonight after tea.

 

Maybe its the way she drives??  

My other half has a habbit of killing cars. ;)

Yes, I'm running an GTS-t AT in a GTS (N/A)

And I can't blame her for the tranny problems, as she has never driven that one, because I don't want her driving it (and getting stranded somewhere) if something does go wrong with the tranny, so for now, she isn't driving anything, because first she can't drive stick, and 2nd, I don't want her driving the GTS-T. I got the GTS-T a while back, and the GTS is my old car. The initial tranny was slipping a bit, just due to the amount of miles on it, and the guy I bought it from drove it kinda rough, so I replaced it with another GTS AT, and it ran great for about a month, but then rather quickly went downhill to being completely undriveable, due to the transmission being totally shot. So it was sitting for a good bit, as I got the GTS-t as soon as the tranny in the GTS started going bad again. Like I said, it seems to be running ok, just I know there's too much ATF in it now, as when I went to lunch today, I came back out, and there was a small pool of ATF in the parking spot under the car. My guess would be that it is coming out the air vent on the tranny, as the tranny gets hot and the ATF expands. Just a thought, don't have any hard proof as of yet, I'll try to take a look at it tommorow.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could look that up for me. It would make my life a lot easier, as my options are limited being the gaijing that doesn't speak much japanese.

Thanks again,

Lucas

Sorry buddy, it appears only to be an Engine with most other bits but gearbox manual.  

 

It doesn't list anything about what type or how many litres to use ;)

 

Have you tried Skylines downunder?

Nope haven't tried there yet, I guess I could give it a shot. Thanks for trying anyways.

      Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
