Hello everyone,

Its time to research what oils and fluids to use on my R33GTR.

So far I have Motul Premix coolant for the radiator and TRUST dot 4 brake fluid for the brakes.

my question is.....

what oil to use on the engine? ( 90% street driving 10% track use)

what oil to use on the gearbox and transfer case?

what diff oil should I use?

would Uniglide or other friction reducing concentrate be useful for engine/gearbox?

thanks

akira

I would use a redline product in the gearbox and transfer case...

For the diff's I would use some of Shell's Fully Syntheic LSD oil. Mobil also make a fully synth diff oil SAF-X? is the name off the top of my head.

Engine comes down to personal preference.... Something fully synthetic for sure, I hear Mobil make a good oil.... But I use Caltex Havoline Fully Synth. 5w-40

i put mobil 1 in mine for the first change i did.

looked at the repco sticker on the windscreen, indicating that the oil had been changed 4000km ago. Sweet, until i finally got the filter off and it was a japanese one.

I think the car was a hell of a lot happier having all the black sooty crap out of it, and some fresh stuff in there.

As far as the gearbox oil, I'm thinking of putting the redline stuff in, and the additive gear had crossed my mind... What do people recommend?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
