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.

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!

yeah hard acceleration in gear is fine, if the clutch cant handle that then theres something wrong with it lol. But no flat shifting and no dumping or clutch kicking for 500 kms or so.

Are you suggesting this as an alternative to smurfs blood?

Dont use nulon G70 box treatment and it stiffens the box

Go buy 3 litres of Royal purple oil and be done

stiffens the box? is that a technical term at all?

abo bob: its cheaper and does the same job
