i have a series2 rs four s manual and had it up on a hoist the other day sussing out the exhaust to be built, when noticed some oil around the top of the transmission casing, upon further investigation we found that there was not much oil left in the box as it had all blown out around the gear shift mechanism and up into the shift lever boot.

we removed and cleaned the boot etc resealed and tightened down everthing we could drained the remainder of the transmission oil and replaced it along with a slick50 treatment, we also blew out the breather hose with compressed air and replaced.

i was just wondering if this was something i need to watch for in future or would it be a once off perhaps?

hey mate, ive got a rb26 and gtr 5 speed gearbox and ive had the same problems, and do u mean your gearbox fluid is low or the transfer case? as the shifter is actually into the transfer case. mine was abit of a problem a couple of times i didnt have the gearstick boot on and planted it flatout on the freeway and it started spewing out like a volcano into the car over my seats/dash, etc. and it did it about 3 times or so. the local workshop told me its a usual thing, as usually the boot stops it coming out. but that shop i dont use anymore and wouldnt trust them at all.

i was thinking the fluid is getting too hot and boiling, but i highly doubt it. maybe just the g-forces from planting it forces the oil into the gears and causes it to spray/splash up.

also the fluid in the transfer case is ATF and totally seperate to the Atessa container fluid mounted in the boot.

let us know if u find answers :P

cheers

cant say i really know what the case is but i never really looked that hard into it as the hoist it was sittin on at the time is of the local skyline nut who jus happens to work at an exhaust place, he said he had not seen this problem other than when a breather hose is blocked, even though when he blew the hose clear there was nothing appearing to be obstructing it? as for the oil boiling i don think it would be that unless there are some real bad bearings and by that stage you would know there was a real problem.

also i dunno if there would be any difference between series one and seriestwo mine has the neo engine and its my first car with a hair dryer so don really know much bout em, i have always had bikes over cars and still do i jus wanted a nice wagon.

i will endeavour to find out as much as i can from local nutters an pm you if i find anything out.

cheers

no worries, the gearbox is the same in series 2 stagea, 32/33gtr,260rs (and i think the gts4)

ill see how mine goes in the next couple of weeks as im finally getting it back on the road after the engine build which has taken over 7 months or so.

owned the car since november 04 and only done about 1200km in it since :(

the joys of car ownership and modifying em ;)

This can be common on the track when the rubber boot is split. Scotsman lost heaps at PI through here, but with ess aggressive driving would occur over a longer period with less residual.

Just replace the boot with a standard item from Nissan and you'll be fine.

good to hear its normal, and just replaced the boot the other day actually. :yes:

thanks

k thanks guys i was wondering if there was aproblem with the box being pressurised but if you reckon its normal i can handle that but will still be keeping an eye on it just the same

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
