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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
