From their website:

"The Quaife ATB differential has been designed to use the standard transmission oils"

The factory website promotes Fuchs Titan oils but the New Zealand agents sell only Syntrax 80 -140

Just a note on the diff oils weight wise. If you've got any substantial power through your driveline go the 75w140 on front and rear diffs even if they are standard Nissan in GTRs LSD or open. The Motul gear competition stuff or Castrol saf-xa (or whatever it is called now, Syntrax 80w140 I think replaced it) is the only stuff I use after my 15+ years with my GTRs. I was using 75w90 in front diff while dragging with open diff at 450+kw at wheels, and it turned my front crown wheel and pinion into junk. It seriously wore away more than half of the gear tooth profiles on crown wheel and pinion making the edges razor sharp, which they are not supposed to be. There were not any backlash clearance issues either, only happened when the wick was turned up. The same applies to dog boxes - 75w140 only or you WILL kill any of them.

It makes it really easy if you run a dog box because then you just run the same oil in front diff, rear diff and box.

BTW I run Quaife front and rear diffs in my 32.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
