OK people - ive read heaps of threads that say that this stuff is the best, and I decided to try it out. After about 500kms the box was heaps better and decided to go for a hard run thru the hills for an hour to really test it. Serviced the car a week later and discovered that this oil was spewing out the breather hole and had completley covered the gearbox externally (hopefully not onto my new clutch as well which was put in at the same time).

Does this stuff have a high expansion rate? I used the super-lightweight 75W90 (yellow coloured stuff). Is this too light and just thowing straight off the gears? I filled it up till it came out the plug - about 3.4L.

Seems a bit strange to me. I looked at the box a week later and i can't see any oil on it anymore - seems to have stopped but I think its a bit low on oil now - doesn't shift as well as it did when i first put it in.

Any help is appreciated.

hmmm, i can't see how u could have overfilled it because its meant to be filled until it starts spilling out. the super lightweight may be too light, i have the lightweight in mine (blue), which is recommended. im unaware of the expansion rate, that does seem strange.

Make sure the car is level when u fill it! If your filling it with the front end jacked up, then you're gonna be putting more oil than actually required, cos the oil will tip towards the back of the case. What i find is to try and slowly fill it up, and when u can feel it a bit below the filler whole, remove the jack and let any excess spew out the hole into a oil tray. Messy, but works.. Or just go to a Ultratune or something and get them to do it while its on a car lifter thingo..

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
