Picking up my rebuilt R33 GTR gearbox with an OS Giken Cross Gear Set fitted along with new bearing/synchros etc.

What do you guys recommend the best oil to use is and id like a short shifter but do these put more strain on the box?

Thanks guys

Redline light weight shock proof

If you buy a shifter i would get a C's short shifter cost a bit but are a very good unit and bolt on in like 5 to 10mins when in the car if box out half that. They only shorten the gear select action and can not put strain on the box any different to a standard shifter.

Agree with everything pnblight has said. I use the Redline lightweight Shock Proof Oil - great stuff and I have the C's Short Shift - another great item, just wish I had the OS Giken Cross gear set......mmmmm very nice :)

I wish i had a OS Giken Cross gear set also, as they seem to be the pick of the crop for street use (valve for money) and leewah is putting what 800awhp through his but i will add i believe he's got a few extra bit like billet centre plate etc to help with stability. Well it's only one power ball away hehehe

I personally wouldn't use the reline oils, ive seen some interesting left overs it creates inside the gearbox on a few boxes that have been pulled apart..

id go for the mobil or elf competition oils, just get one with a suitable weighting for your needs, you may also need to blend..

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
