[black33gtst]

Hi guys,

Time for gearbox and diff fluid change,

Can anyone tell me the best oil for box and diff (diff is a little whiny) and also what quantities both hold.

Cheers

I did both last weekend... the gearbox is about 2.5L, I used Redline Lightweight Shockproof - pricy though at $130/5L!... The diff is a little under 2L I think.... I used Penrite LimSlip90.

Not sure if there is already a tutorial on this.. but how do i change the diff fluid? is it similar to the gear box?

diff fluid you need a pump to pump it up in there.

the r33 holds about 1.7 litres and decent oil DOES make on hell of a difference. i noticed more LSD lock + smother gear changing.

used a bottle of RED LINE something, its in the shed and ill have a look. gearbox oil i used castrol synthetic something or rather and maked the gearbox a lot smother shifting.

Another vote for redline. But I used closer to 3.8L in the Gearbox and 1.7 in the diff from memory. With it being so thick it naturally takes a long time to work its way past the gears and settle in the bottom of the gearbox.

Oh and a tip is to crack the filler plug before you drain anything. If you happen to drain it all out but can't undo the filler you'll be stuck with and empty diff and g/b and no way to fill it back up.

LOL thats a good thing to keep in mind and do. Are you speaking from experience?

u can always fill through the shifter hole, just need circlip plyers to take the shifter out.
