Hi,

im about to change the diff oil, but i dont know where the filler hole is.

On the driver side of the diff, there is a hex shaped hole (ive tried this one, but it wont budge) and on the passenger side, theres 2 bolts that look the same (above the exhaust)

Also, ive noticed that there is a hose running from the diff into the boot. In the boot, there is a fluid reservior, i was wondering if thats the diff oil??

My car is a R33 GTS-T Series II

the fill/drain holes are not hex shaped, they have a square indent. this is a standard 1/2 inch drive shape, so a 1/2 inch socket wrench without any sockets in it is the correct tool (altho you may need a breaker bar :cheers:)

the drain plug is on the back of the diff, at the bottom, facing the rear bumper. the fill plug is on the passenger side of the diff, halfway up, facing the left rear wheel (it's a bit trickier to spot). a short extension bar on your socket wrench will be needed.

always make sure you can get the fill plug out before you drain your old oil... :mellow:

Sounds to me like he has a A-LSD (from the GTR vspec)

Nope not always... mine arent

Is your diff cover Finned? The drain plug is 1/2inch drive.. however the filler is on the drivers side.. Very large allen key needed with lots of leverage.. Will also most likely have locktite on it.. so will require a bang with a hammer to break the seal..

Make sure you put in a proper LSD oil as this diff is different to the normal R33 Diff..

Yeh i believe your right. i couldnt find a filler hole on the passenger side, so it must be this.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
