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.

:(

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
