I just used standard heavy duty diff oil that I got from Auto One. I can't remember the exact weight of it, but the bottle said it was for limited slip diffs. That was about 3 years ago so it's probably due for another change (30k km or so?) and I haven't had any problems with noise or grinding or anything so I think the diff is still pretty good. I can still feel the LSD kick in and zig-zag the rear a bit when it steps out so I think it's all fine. (knock on wood that I don't now blow it up!)

Note: This is the standard LSD, not the active LSD, which I think needs a different type of oil.

75W90 is whats recommended, although 80W90 will work perfectly fine.

Because you have the standard viscous LSD, there is no need to use 'LSD rated diff fluid'. Any GL5 rated gear fluid will do. Castrol Syntrax would work good!

What about a 1990 R32 GT-R?

75w90 syn will be fine for both front and rear diff's with no LSD additives?

Manual Tranny takes 75w90 also? Or a sythetic ATF?

I'm a newbie

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
