Servicing Gear Box And Diff

Just serviced my R32 GTS-t gearbox and diff.

I used Redline shockproof gear oil, expensive but the best. Can't remember the weight, I think 40w.

On the R32 I needed 2 liters for the gearbox and 2.5 liters for the diff. This sucks as they sell the redline in 4 liter bottle. I topped up .5 ltr with motul gear oil from 1 ltr bottle.

Unless you have a hoist it is a bitch of a job!!

I took mine to a mech friend and they did both gearbox and diff for $35 as I supplied oil.

My diff was super noisy and is on the way out but much better now with new oil.

It's not worth the drama of lying on the floor with gear oil in your face for $40.

Fuel filter is a throw away item. I replace mine every 10000kms. No inspection or cleaning possible as sealed unit. I think you can leave them for 30000kms.

Hope this helps.

Just jap have them in stock. Use genuine only. I think the above price is about right.

Check to make sure they sell you the right one, some are a straight filter (no bends) and the other has a 90deg bend off the top of the filter. Check your current one.!!

They sell the wrong parts all the time.

I would avoid using a redline gear oil in the GB. I know many people here do but I would recommend the MT90 (75W90) over shockproof. Shockproof is a 75W140 and has more friction modifers for LSDs as its a gear oil and from my experience MT90 shifts better. However I know many ppl here have used it and I would rather have it than mnay otehr oills on the market.

If in doubt use Motul 300 gear, top stuff also.

THe GB takes about 4lts when u refill, the diff takes 1.2 ltres. I did both today as it happens. Both require a 1/2" drive wrench to get out the plugs...easy if u have a pit like me.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
