Any 75w90 GL-5 fluid will do.

I just found this off another forum members post:

# Gearbox Oil (Redline Lightweight Shockproof)

# Differential Oil (Motul Gear300)

Has anyone used the motul 300 and where can i get some,plus does it take more than 2.5 litres?

sweet,is this for just the diff or the gear box as well?

what brand is gl-5?

Redline 75w90 GL-5

That's for the diff only while the gearbox can use Redline either MT-90 (75w90 GL-4) or Lightweight Shockproof (75w140). I go for the later if under heavy load or increase boost.

Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread buddy, but I would also like to get people's opinions on changing the diff and gearbox oil especially if you've just got the car and are unaware of the previous service history. Is this a good idea?

Trex101, is this the position you are in or are you just doing regular maintenance to your car?

Cheers

If it's an unknown maintenance history, i would just change all the fluid. Including engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, brake oil, power steering fluid or whatever fluid you can find. IMO, its cheap insurance for your beloved ride.

Type of fluid will depends on your budget but i will not go cheap on gearbox & diff as they are normally 40-60k OCI.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
