There is an active thread about fluids on nissan silvia. Im going to get penrite sin fully synthetic 75W90 for the gear box and the 80W?? for the diff. (Coming up to 90,000km)

You can get redline stuff from ebay from an online wholesaler -- but it seems too cheap. I wouldnt know if its the right shapped bottle with a fake sticker on it or not.

Oh and check how much of it you need too.. for the blu200 its about 1.5L for the gearbox and 1.2L for the diff. Ill get 2L.

As for getting penrite sin oils.... Save up your $$$ and then go online and register your email address with Repco. You get a 20% discount voucher for your next visit. Im going to spend a few hundred on Oils (engine diff box), radiator fluid, sparkplugs if they have the ngk, and maybe oil filters.

Are you thinking about Limslip 85W140?

As for the original poster, if you are going to get an oil for the diff, then it is probably a good idea to get a oil specifically made for diff applications and that is where the Limslip oil comes in (hense the name).

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
