but you will need to tap holes for the push style slave cylinder and change the front plate across to the one from your push gearbox.

Or reuse your pull type clutch.

Thanks duncan for this information i have a skyline gtr r33 year 1996 i living in dominicain republic and i am too the only i have here in mi country a skyline gtr, i have some trouble with mi car the transmission gear box the mechany put a oil motul ATF for gear automatic, after that mi mechany do that i was running mi car in street and the 3 shitf and 4 shift the syncro don't work good and later i can put the others speed shift, and right now i only work in mi car the firts 1,2 and 5 shift, because the others shift the syncro was damage 3,4 shift, and i buy a others transmission but is from gtr r32 early model(thanks for your information duncan because right now i know the this gear box there buy can working in mi car gtr r33) but i have a another questions for you duncan what type of oil there really to need put in mi gear box and the differential....?because right now mi mechany put in the gear box a motul 75w90 gear box mechany oil, and he put this oil too in mi differential car too....is correct...? here in mi country the weather is too warn thanks for all and help me about this information....

Sorry to hear about your gearbox - only R34s GTRs use ATF in their manual gearboxes.

For the gearbox you want to use 75W-90 GL-4

For the front (open diff) you want 75W-90 GL-5

For the rear (LSD) you want 75W-90 GL-5 for LSD

Try to use fully synthetic for all gear oils, and you'll never need to change them again.

I really thanks the do you help me about that, i apreciatted thanks for all and sorry for mi bad english i don't know to write very well englisg..this letter GL-4, GL-5 is the amount of gallons there i need put in mi transmission gear box,diff and LSD.....?and then is correct to used this oil motul 75w90 gear box mechany because mi mechany put this oil and all gear sytems...?Thanks for all and happy new year 2008.......

GL4 and GL5 are oil standards/specifications. The oil your mechanic used would probably have been one or the other. It shouldnt be a problem if he used either in both the gearbox and diff. Many people dont know there's a difference. It certainly wont damage things the way the ATF did.

You need 1 litre for the front diff, 1.5 litres for the rear diff and 4.5 liters for the gearbox.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
