hey all,

im trying to change my diff oil, i can loosen the drain plug with a 1/2 ratchet, but the filler plug on the side of the diff is some kind of hexagon shape and none of my tools will fit in it. I was just wondering if any of you guys who have changed diff oil on a R33 GTS-T before tell me what kind of tool is necessary??

Thanks

umm...you have a special plug...normally it is identical to the drain plug :(

out of interest....you did follow the #1 rule and open the filler before you opened the drain plug right? otherwise you will need to tow it to a workshop if you can't open it.....

u can use a good old spanner...if u have a big enough one u can get soem leaverage...or use a pipe to extend it...it shouldn't be that hard though.

i only tried to see if i could loosen the plugs, didnt drain any oil. Far as i can see, only the drain plug is not stuck.

Where the hell is the filler plug for the r34 gtt I can't find the flamin mongrel anywhere I'm getting so frustrated right now.

It's on the diff.

Above half way up.

In the passenger side.

It's likely that your exhaust obstructs the view a bit.

Keep looking man. You can find it

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
