hey mate, this thread is more suited to general maintenance than NSW general.

FTR, I use Motul Chrono 300V 10W40 engine oil, Motul RBF600 brake fluid (not needed if yours is jsut a street car), redline lightweight shockproof gear oil, nissan matic D attessa fluid and redline oil in the diffs too (i forget which one I used).

Everyone has their own preferences. I was using motul 8100. Worked wonders. My engine is spotless inside. Underneath the cam covers, everything is as clean as the day it was built.

I've just gone to elf excellium fully synth. that's supposed to be good as well. The motul used to cost me $52 for 5L. The elf is 45, so i'm just trying it.

I'm a big fan of the 8100. However my local parts store stopped carrying it and only has ELF now. ELF is quite good, but it seems to start burning off after a few thousand Ks - done 4500 on this oil change and it was almost down to L on the dipstick. With the motul I could drop it after 5000km and get almost as much out as I put in. Maybe I'm just driving harder now though :D

I've been reading up on this as I need to do the same thing. From the other threads on this topic (I used the search button) I've noted the following fluids for a street car setup:

Engine Oil: Motul 300V 10W40

Gearbox Oil: Redline Lightweight Shockproof (Not recommended if you have a freshly rebuilt gearbox)

Rear Diff: **Must use an LSD Oil** Redline 80W140

Front Diff: Nissan Matic D or Redline Lightweight Shockproof

Transfer Case: Nissan Matic D

Brake Fluid: Dot 4.1

Injector cleaner: Redline SI-1

The engine oil is discussed alot with other brands also recommended. Do a search if you want to read more.

You can load Redline's recommendations from here: http://www.redlineoil.com.au/oil-finder.asp

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
