G'day guys,

Just purchased a 32GTR, it has some basic oil restriction mods and other power mods. It's on 143km's.
I'm looking to refresh all the fluids before I drop it in for a tune at the end of the month. 
There's a lot of info online about this topic but a lot of it is historical(up to 15 years old). There aren't any recent posts(that i can find) that address the topic.

My research has lead me to pick these fluids :

Gearbox oil: Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear oil  - 4.5 L

Front diff : Redline Lightweight Shockproof Gear Oil - 1L

Rear diff: Not sure??

Brake fluid: Nulon xtreme performance gear oil. dot 4

Power steering fluid : Castrol DEX III Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 Litre

Transfer case : Nissan Matic D transmission fluid

Engine oil: Not sure??

Don't put Shockproof in anything unless you need it because of crunchy selectors. For f**k's sake, don't put it in the front diff. Use diff oils in diffs. A good LSD oil for the rear, a normal (non-LSD) diff oil for the front, unless it has had an LSD centre put in it.

Thanks for the replies guys! think i figured it out.

if you got gearbox selector issues - shock proof aka -  smurfs blood 

Down load the penrite app and use the recommended oils 

Good old australian made stuff 

I'm a bit concerned that they recommend the same oil for front and rear diff when a lot of people online say don't use the same oil(due to lsd and non lsd)

Decided to shockproof heavy the gearbox. But not the diff
 

There is no reason to use shockproof in a healthy gearbox ever. Absolutely none. A 75w - 85 GL-4 provides the smoothest shifts with the brass synchros. Even GL-5 at 75w-90 is noticeably worse in the upper rev range shifting. Shockproof is gummy crap that sticks to everything and if you've ever pulled a box down you'd never recommend it. It masks synchronisation wear and is about the same result as using a normal oil and adding a shift additive like that Nulon or Penrite smooth shift crap - the oil becomes a paste.

LSD or not the LSD oil is fine for the open fron diff, it's just not required, but the best synthetic heavier weight oils are mostly LSD oils by design though. As I've said repeatedly in the paat the stock front diff oil weight is retarded - way too light, so use an 80 or 90 weight oil in front diff at your own risk. 75w-140 in both front and rear if you want to retain healthy crown wheel and pinions on you GTR diffs is the go.

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
