Gtr Oil/fluid Questions

[No Crust Racing]

Searching is not giving me the answers I'm after =\

Car in question is a 1996 GTR V-Spec

- How much oil do the diff's hold

- What fluid are people using in their GTR Diff's? Redline 75w90 seems to get mentioned a lot.

- What system is the reservoir in the boot providing fluid to?

- Do I need a special fluid/oil for the above mentioned system (I assume it's the ATTESSA-ETS system reservoir or something to do with the A-LSD in the V-Spec)

- I've heard/read various information stating you shouldn't mix power steering fluids, thoughts? Mine appears to be a touch low.

Just got my V-Spec and am going trhough and doing all that lovely maintenance BS =D

Thanks guys.

My R32 GTR...Rear diff 1.5L Front Diff 1.0L

assume it would be same or at least very close for R33

Redline 75w90 for diffs? make sure you put a LSD oil in diffs not gear oil

the redline 75w90 (super lightweight) shockproof oil is great for gearbox but not for diffs had it in mine and had problems (even after friction additive)

i use penrite LSD oil (80W90) for diffs but i think its your personal choice just make sure its a LSD oil not a Gear oil

correct...boot reservoir is for attesa

i use the nissan recommended stuff...Nissan Automatic Transmission Fluid Special Blend Matic-D...because i have heard that with some ATF's attesa doesnt enguage as quick or as strong

not sure about the mixing thing

Hope that helps
