aaahh... just what i need. I have steering rack binding issues, highly annoying and first step was changing power steering fluid.

have heard good things about Castrol Transmax Z

don't mind spending good $$ on this, can you get better than Castrol for power steering fluid?

a brake fluid thread would be handy as well, hint hint ;)

SK, you have PM :)

nope, he races GTRs, I break race GTRs.

but anyway - I'ev tried a heap of fluids because I'vehad ongoing braking problems and the motul and agip have been the best. Other ones I've tried are AP racing, castrol, caltex (of all things), lucas. All of the others have performed worse than the motuland cost more.

This is for pretty extreme use, but since you can get the motul at a good price I can't see a reason not to use it in a road car as well

Subie, Castrol Syntrans 75w-90 :whistling:

Crack the filler bolt (to make sure you can actually fill the damn thing), then remove the draining bolt and allow it to drain.

You can then get a pumping tool to pump the transmission fluid from the bottle to the filler hole.

You should fill until the fluid reaches the filler hole, it's designed to take only the right amount of fluid (when on level ground!!).

If you cant get the filler bolt undone for some reason, you can always remove the transmission lever from inside the car, and pour down the hole there, and from memory (the GTST box I used in my 180sx) took 2.5 litres of fluid, but someone else can confirm that.

    • What a major headfk! I was looking into a Speedtek gearset, after reading your experiences & you pointing out PRP removed them from their website, it's pretty evident to avoid them with the longest pole possible.

    • Yeah the Drift R wheels look awesome. They are pitted though, wonder if I can fix that somehow.
    • I picked up my diff today. Both their shop manager and machinist wanted to have a chat prior to me leaving. Conversation started with "Where did you buy these garbage parts? What's the name of the company?" They actually went on Speedtek's website during our conversation and made what I think is the best gear head joke I've ever heard after seeing they make straight cut gears. "They've probably only gotten away with selling straight cut gears as they'll make noise whether they're properly machined or not. People are none the wiser" The humor made the 2500$ in the hole I'm in after this whole experience a little better lol. They also pointed out that not only did they find identical issues on both ring and pinions that Speedtek had sent, but that by eye you can see the pinion teeth do not have the same profile from one end to the other.  They went on about this being the worst diff job they've ever done and how it was a colossal waist of time. Luckily after mentioning how I purchased another diff to learn how to assemble them, they were nice enough to give me a crash course on diff assembly on another diff they were currently doing. I like to tell myself they did this to be nice but deep down, I know it's to be extra certain they'll never see me there again lol.  Speedtek was pushing for a store credit but I'll never feel confident purchasing from them again due to their third world machining techniques and QC. I just asked for a full monetary refund.  I'll pop the diff back in this Friday and take it for a spin if the streets are clear of snow. 
    • Hey any chance you still have this for sale or know someone that could help me out with tuning my stagea?
