hi all I have a 33 gts-t with 86000 on the clock and would like to change the gearbox oil not because there is anything wrong but because I like to change all the oils when I get a new car.

I was going to get the synthetic nulon 75w85 ($29.99 per liter) but everyone here recommends vmx80 which is much cheaper. castrol recommend vmx-m 75w85... someone said nissan run vmx80- from the factory is this true? i dont want to run a mineral if there is syn in there already thats all.

also the castrol website says 2.8 liters... is this wrong is it infact 3.8 - 4? can you overfill it?

i did mine last week, took about 3.5L.. cant really overfill it. Same with my diff oil change, just keep pumping until it starts coming out quicker than you can get it in..

It's only going to come out of one hole and the other one is a filler...you can't drain from the wrong hole :)

When filling up, fill through the filler hole until it starts to pour out of the filler hole.

Easy!

I know but I am going to change the diffs and transfer case oils as well and I heard that the transfer case plug is near the gearbox so I don't want to drain and fill the wrong one with the wrong fluid.

Do you guys use a fluid pump thing or just a hose to transfer the fluids into the car?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
