VMX80 with nulon G70 box treatment, its a pretty good combo for nissan boxes.

Dont need to worry about bedding in the box, the clutch however will need to have 500 kms of normal driving, you can drive it hard in gear just no clutch dumps or excessive slips off the line.

thats castrol vmx80 i take it?....whats the nulon g70 for?and how much do i need for a mnual 25t box?

Edited by nsta

yes its castrol oil.

The Nulon treatment is a friction modifier which improves shifts, reduces wear and tear etc etc. Read up on it HERE

For the 25 box you'll need 3.8L of oil. So buy 4L of VMX80 for around 30 odd bucks and you'll be laughing

thanks, im currently 100kms into it, its hard to drive the clutch normally, and not hard hehehe, thanks for the input, from my understanding, i can drive the car as hard as i want once in gear, but no launching at all, and when shifting, shft normally and dont dump the clutch?, im taking precautions, as the clutch cost me 2500!

Are you suggesting this as an alternative to smurfs blood?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
