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.

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
