Hi Guys n Girls, here's some up to date info on redline gear oils...

All-2001 GTS & GTS-T (single turbo) (R32,R33,R34) RB25 & RB25T Eng, 2500cc, 2WD

Component Recommended Oil / Fluid

Manual Gearbox Select your closest climate range. For -10°to25°C use 'MTL' or 5°to35°C use 'MTL' or 15°to50°C use 'Superlight Shock'. (* Advantage option for Performance / Racing use 'Lightweight Shockproof'.) @ see handbook for Litres Rear Diff Red Line '75W90' Gear Oil (* Advantage Option for Racing use Red Line 75W90) @ see handbook for Litres

SERVICING - GEARBOX, DIFF or AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: Change your oil at up to 4 times the current changeout period on conventional oil, depending on type, age & usage; else under warranty, change oil as per warranty specifications. Oil life may be extended in addition to this subject to oil analysis readings. (Testing may identify a mechanical or engineering failure, even when the Red Line oil is still in good condition!) Tip: Automatic Transmissions - Make sure a qualified transmission workshop not only changes your oil but gets all the oil out of the torque convertor as this can hold up to 4Ltrs of your contaminated previous brand oil.

UPDATE: from redline australia! The web site info is incorrect (American) the shockproof oils are fine for synchrmesh gear boxes... and they will be udating the web site to reflecting this updated info...

"superlight" for hard driving/track use.

"lightweight" for normal street/track use.

"heavyweight" for normal street use.

Hopefully this clears things up!

I wouldn't use Nulon, even as weed killer.

hhehehe realy :rofl: ,, thats cool, id didnt use it either, just changed to MT90 oil yesterday, so far so good............hopefuly this oil will look after the gear box for longer period.

If you use a cheapie oil then the Nulon might be worthwhile, but with the good stuff like Redline they will have already put all the additives in so there's no need. You might actually go a bit backwards as you will upset Redline's balance of the additive concentrations. That's the theory at least. Ring them if you want first hand info.

ive got nulon N70 in my box.. the box couldnt be smoother or slicker. u obviously have never tried N70 b4 :( Teflon is the slippierst compound known to man :\

Sorry, forgot to mention that I was using N70 with Pnzoil gear oil before.....and then this crunching problem appeared, after redline MT90, its all gone now....without N70 hehehe :blink:

i use redline.. and while they use awesome additives.. they dont use teflon. nothing comes close to teflons friction removing properties hahahah nothing at all.

Really? Then why do DuPont claim "Teflon is not useful as an ingredient in oil additives or oils used for internal combustion engines."?

    • 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.
