Hi,

As the topic states, i need to know the capacity of an RB25 GTST gearbox. I was told to fill it with Repsol 75/90 fully synthetic oil by my gearbox guy. Ive already put 3 litres of oil and 250ml of Nulon friction reducer stuff into the box. I thought the capacity was 2.8 litres. Hope im not filling up something else, lol.

Its just under 3.8 litres. I filled up mine with one US gallon (3.8 litres) of Redline. I had a bit left in the bottle afterwards. So if ur around that amount you should be fine :banana:

Thanks for your replies.

So do you reckon i should get another litre of oil? Ive got 3.2 litres in it at the moment.

When i put my finger in the filler hole in the side of the gearbox, i can feel that the oil is just below the filler hole (maybe 2 or 3 mm below).

I suspect i should do it properly.

By the way, is Redline oil tha shizzle? How much is it?

erm, thats really up to you. Probably could put a few mls in there but whether it would make a difference i wouldnt know =/

Opinions about the Redline oil is pretty divided. I found that it improved my gearbox, while some people find that it doesnt. It cost me 120$ for 1 gallon. (3.8 litre)

the diff and box should always be filled up to capacity and underfilled...

What do you mean by "and underfilled"?

Anyway, i bought another litre and filled it up to capacity. It took about 3.65 litres.

Its been a while since ive done my gearbox but isn't kinda hard to over fill it? I though capacity was when it reaches the filler hole making it impossible to overfill... unless your cars jacked up on some crazy angle?

yeah theres two ways of overfilling... jacked at an angle like so. or by doing what i do and filling through the shifter hole as its 10 times easier. I make sure that old oil is all drained out and that i put in the exact amount. all good

yeah cool that makes sense. had me questioning if i had done something wrong there for a while.

ive found it quite easy just pick up some clear flexible pipe, drop it down near the brake booster and into the filler plug. Wack a funnel on the top and start filling. :huh:

nothing wrong with that either except it takes ages, gear oil is quite thick and takes a while to go through a plastic tube. Ive done it before and heated up the oil in the microwave to thin it out a bit :(

lol thats awesome!

There is a good tutorial for changing your oil http://www.anthonymcgrath.co.uk/gtroc/gear_oil.htm

Its pretty simple , he fills the gearbox through the filler hole with a syringe pump , you must be able to get something like thet in Oz

I used exactly the same pump and it probably is the best way to fill the gearbox.

Just a couple of things..dont suck the oil up with the syringe just undo the cap and fill it up near the top then put the cap back on using a rag.

Also if you put in redline heavy duty shockproof be prepared for a sore shoulder... its like treacle!!

The capacity of a gtst gearbox is 4.1 litres

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
