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)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
