ok sounds like a dumb question, but what is the going opinion on gearbox oils for a GTR R32 as I have a slight syncro noise on 4th, and was hoping that a better (read more suited to GTR) oil would be the go?

while we are at it GTR power steering fluid? factory only?

I put Redline MTL in my SR20 box and it quietened it upa dn made it shift smoother, I have no idea wether this oil is suited to a GTR< but something of similar qulaity would be good, (it cost me $100 for the oil in the sr box).

got the redline oils from coventrys in mascot.... they have moved to william lane and are tricky to get to, and have all the good stuff for GTRs with the lightweight gearbox oil for $99 the diff 80-140 recommended for $94 and the water wetter for cooler radiators for $20....

so a lot of cash, but will be worth it in the long run!!!

I used castrol vmx80 for my gearbox.

Fixed up my 4th and 5th notchy gearing problem.

Cost - $29.95 4 litres (which was just enough)

Also I used the castrol LSD oils for my front and rear diffs

$ 32.95 for 4 litres with 1 litre spare

I'm very happy with this particular service

What do you mean "run out of gear box oil"?

I replaced the gearbox oil in my R32 GT-R a couple of weeks ago with Redline Lightweight Shockproof. I needed about 4.3lts all up: luckily I bought an extra 2 pint bottle (or whatever it is) as it was a three hour round trip to the closest Redline stockist :D

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
