kaaz oil is good, you should have enough oil to do the run in and then refill it. i forget what the place is called (but i find out for you) that stock kaaz oil price is very $$$$ thou.

You can also try castrol LSX90 as my friend uses that in his kaaz 2way lsd and its very good.

Also stay away from REDLINE oil as its not good for the diff and turns it in to a noise thing if you uses it and it also damages the plates

edit: Place that stock Kaaz Oil is Vision R price is about $150 (1L)

give LSX90 try as its a limited slip oil (whatever that means), my mate who runs it in his kaaz lsd told me this

oils are very important as the clutch plates are designed to run wit certain oils, when i tried LSX90 it felt pretty much same wit kaaz oil

he is a mech so he knows what he is talking about lol

ahaha, i dont think so. I think Kaaz advises to change the diff oil every 5000km can become very $$$ lol

The Redline oil is very thick, I got some for my car and trying to pump it into the diff was a mission. I would go for Redline, check out their website and they will give you a recommendation on what you should use.

have alook hear, more than one person says the same thing about running redline oil in your mech diff (its not good)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
