Motul Gear 300 is great stuff.

My 33 had 34,000km on it when I bought it, definitely genuine as interior, engine bay and underbody looked brand new. 5 page inspection report confirmed that odometer was consistent with the car's condition. Therefore, I can safely assume that it had the standard (8 year old) nissan fluids in the gearbox and diff, and the old fluids weren't flogged out yet (the service interval for gbox and diff is every 40,000km).

After putting Gear 300 in the gearbox and diff (viscous LSD is a sealed unit so that's no problem), I found that cold shifting was much improved. The old oil was occasionally a bit graunchy and not really nice to drive until up to temp. With the new oil it shifted very well when cold - more slowly than warm but that's only to be expected. When warmed up, it's even better. The old oil was OK when warm but the new stuff is still an improvement.

Cliffs: Gear 300 ftw.

Motul 300 gear oil is top notice stuff. Similar to Redline. Esther based, GL5 rated and high sheer capability.

I use Redline MT90 in the GB which is similar only as i get it much cheaper then RRP - see my sig links. Today I flushed the GB on my 33, 4 Quarts for less than $80! RRP would be double. .

I also use the redline 75W90 gear oil in the diff, great products with great results. I also have the stock VLSD

Cheers Guys, Am waiting to pick it up. Will try it in the diff too. Can't wait the old oil is shagged and my line has a short shifter. Nasty cold shift for sure.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
