Like many it seems, I had the problem with getting 2nd gear when first starting the car up in the morning.

Sooo... heeding the forum advice, I replaced the g'box oil with Redline Superlight Shockproof (R34 GTR). Woo hoo! Liquid gearbox rebuild - 2nd gear even when it's cold!

where do you purchase this Redline Superlight Shockproof and how much for what quantity? cheers

- Ross.

I can also vouch for Redline, I use both the lightweight (gearbox) & heavy for the diff. Gear changes felt smooth as new.

I bought mine through Bursons at Lilydale in Victoria, but they had to order it in from WA (took under a week to get it). I can't remeber exact prices.

I got 4l for the gearbox, and used about 3.7l, and about 1.5L? (can't remember exactly) in the diff. Price I think ws around $$130.00 for all of it, maybe a bit more.

Cheers.

Guys, try going to Oilworld down at Moorabin area just off Keys Road in Victoria. They give discount to SAU members. If you're lucky, the manager might come to you and explain all about the redline oil and how good it is :huh:

Get's boring after a while :)

Awesome!!!!!!!!

I live in Carnegie so its not too far ill have to check it out soon. How many litres do i need for gearbox, diff and engine.......

Reagrds,

Hey Guys,

I strongly recommend the Redline Superlight Weight Shockproof oil. I just got my oil changed and it runs so smooth in the mornings now. I use to double clutch in the morning just to get in second gear, but now there's no probs

If your going to change your gear oil. YOU THIS STUFF IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU.

:(

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
