R33 Gtst Diff

[Mick]

Hey i have an R33 Series2 GTST and im so confused about what oil to use for the diff, ive searched the forums but different posts say totaly different things.

Now some say to use a LSD oil and some say to use a non LSD oil, some say to use non LSD oil but that using LSD oil wont hurt it and some say just use a hypoid oil ..

But lets get this straight, the car is LSD, when i smoke it up both wheels go so its definatly LSD. I read that its a Viscous LSD diff, is this correct ?

And if so doesnt that mean i need a LSD oil and not a non LSD oil that i read on this forum ..

Also what weight do i need .. eg 85w90

So has anyone got a favorate diff oil that they use ..

Im looking for a name, so i can goto the shop and ask for some castrol blah blah blah for example.

[Mick]

One of the ones ive read to use is Castrol LSX90

But some say to use it for an R33 GTST and others say to use it for an R33 GTS

And im pretty sure the GTST is LSD and the GTS is not, so shouldnt they use different diff oil.

And im still confused about which to use in my GTST, a LSD oil or a non LSD oil ..

Redline

Which RedLine Gear Oil do u use, 75w90 or 80w140 for example

[R33S2]

do a search cause i cant remmeber sorry

[GtstCoupe]

i use redline superlight shockproof in both box and diff

[Mick]

So do i use an LSD or non LSD oil in it ?

Also does anyone know what weights i need eg 75w90

[Mick]

Because i may not be able to get the redline stuff so i need to know what weights to look for and if its an lsd or non lsd so i can just get any good brand oil then.

[Mick]

Well it looks like no one knows weather to use LSD or non LSD oil in the R33GTST, ive searched this forum and everyone says somethin different.

I just need to know if i should get a LSD or non LSD oil.

Can people with an R33GTST please post what oil they use in there diff, and dont just say redline or castrol, that is no help what so ever, i need the brand as well as the weight, eg Castrol EPX 80w90

But i realy need to know weather to use a LSD or non LSD and an explanation why would be helpful.

Also another confusing thing is that some threads here say to make sure that the diff oil u use DOESNT have a Friction Modifier in it and some threads say to use a diff oil that has a Friction Modifier in it.

Its so confusing when u read something in one thread and in another thread it will say the total opposite.

ps. sorry for all the questions but after searching this forum im more confused then ever.
