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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
