Hi, does anyone knows how much oil need for engine gear box and diff in R33 Rb25det? and what fluid is better for gear box?

thanks in advanced

can i use nissan Genuine DIFF OIL HYPOID SUPER GL-5 or DIFF OIL HYPOID LSD GL-5 in gear box or those fluids are for just differential???

thanks in advanced

Good lubricant is lifestyle lubricant, comes free in boxes of 12; if its good enough for little johnny, its good enough for the box.

lolz na, ill vouch for the castrol tranzmax z though, i use it in my r34 gtr transfer case and it fantastic. For my gearbox i use v160

'lil johnny' must be doing something wrong if he needs 'lifestyle lubricants' ;)

sydneykid:

If i were to buy 3 x 4L Redline Lightweight shock proof oil, could i do an R33 GTR gearbox, transfer case, and both diffs?

Is this oil suitable for all 4??I

want nothing but the best for my beast :)

Cheers.

For a sticky.............................

What we use;

4WD Transfer = Castrol Transmax Z

Automatic Transmission = Castrol Transmax Z

Manual Transmission = Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 or Castrol Syntrax 75W-90

Differential = Castrol SAF-XA

Hi SK

I've had a 33 for a couple years now and everything i've had to do to my car, i've been able to figure out from your posts. I'm sure you hear it a lot but just wanted to say thanks for the knowledge - you make dumb a$$e$ like me be able to work on their cars.

cheers mate

I just put the Redline Lightweight Shockproof Gear Oil in my R34 GTT. I only needed the one bottle, is this right?

Also is this oil a good oil to be using in the gearbox?? And is there any different weights available for this oil or just the one?

I've been having a grinding noise when dropping down gears at higher revs eg. 60km/h into 2nd makes a grind, 110 into 4th grinds, 3rd grinds when I shift up from 2nd at higher revs...

I changed gear box oil to see if the problem would go away but it hasn't :S I think it may be clutch related though as the grind can be felt through the clutch pedal when releasing it and the gear engages.

Could it be the clutch or thrust bearing??

Any help would be awesome!!

i believe nissan say 7.5w/30 - where the f*ck you get 7.5 i have no idea...

Marcus, do you know about www.performancelub.com? if not, all the oils you'll ever need are there.

If the 26 sees mild track use, i'd go with a 10w40 (Royal Purple, Amsoil, Redline, German Castrol)

Street use i'd be more inclined to use an 0w or 5w. 5w30 is probably you're closest to the factory specs.

I'm running 5w30 Royal Purple at the moment.

Manual Transmission = Castrol Syntrans 75W-85 or Castrol Syntrax 75W-90

Differential = Castrol SAF-XA

would castrol saf-xa be fine for r32 gtst diff??

thanx heaps been trying to find this sort of info

In my R32 GTR, I've decided to run:

Gearbox: Redline Shockproof Lightweight

Front Diff: Redline Shockproof Lightweight

Transfer Case: Redline High Temp ATF

Rear Diff (LSD): Redline Gear Oil 75w90

gotta love www.performancelub.com

On a 4WD; I assume that there is a filler plug if I don't want to fill my transfer case from the shifter hole? Looking at the workshop manual it seems to be at the rear of the transfer case on the driver's side of the rear propeller shaft - is that right? Also, the service manual suggests that a sealant (Three Bond 1215 - genuine Nissan part KP610-00200) should be used when installing the drain plug - is this unnecessary? If it is necessary shoudl the same sealant be used when installing the drain plug into the gearbox as well? Thanks, Ben.

My mechanic (GTR specialist) is quite happy to do (bit reluctant) the gearbox and both diff fluids I've mentioned, but insists will only put in the genuine Nissan Matic-D ATF in the transfer case (I won't argue with him, he worked at a Nissan dealer for 7 years so I will go with what he says). Did alittle research into it and it seems most jap tuners say to only use the genuine Nissan Matic-D in the transfer cases. Then again it's suggested Matic-D is nothing more than Castrol ATF/Mercon IV.

I think this is a interesting read (copy and paste from elsewhere, Matic-D and the special powersteering fluid mentioned are the same part-number)

Have a document from Nissan NZ, which came from Mr.K.Shindo of Nissan Japan.

It outlines his thoughts on fluids that should not be replaced by aftermarket products.

1. Transfer case fluid

Nissan Matic D is strongly requested because high torque is applied to transfer unit.

2.. Transfer case (ATTESA E-TS-PRO Actuator) : It is not acceptable to use DEXRON III fluid.

> Only Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special use is required.

Today I received the technical information from our design department.

1. The difference between the DEXRON III and Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special

The viscosity characteristic of Power Steering Fluid Special is lower than that of ATF DEXRON III and the resistance to wear is also improved. Each viscosity is the same level at 100 deg.C and the former viscosity is designed to have the lower value for under 100 deg.C than the latter viscosity.

This characteristic is aimed to rotate an oil pump located in ATTESA PRO

actuator easily at the extremely low temperature (Around -30 deg.C or -40 deg.C)

2. What will happen if a customer puts DEXRON II or DEXRON III into the ATTESA PRO actuator reservoir in the trunk ?

The 4WD performance will be largely decreased at the low temperature because the viscosity value of DEXRON II or III is extremely high compared to that of Power Steering Fluid Special ;

As the rising characteristic of 4WD torque transfer becomes worse, it takes the longer time to transfer the driving torque to the front wheels. There is a possibility that the 4WD cannot be achieved in the worst case.

When I asked for fluid for my transfer case at Nissan in Rockdale (who proport to sell to imports and provide Nismo gear) I was told that any automatic transmission fluid would do. I asked abour gearbox oil, thy told me that they ony sell in quantities of 20 litres and did not have the specified viscosity.

Castrol recomend Castrol Transmax Z, so do Sydneykid and Duncan; just my two bob, but that'll do me!

Moodles 2; can your mechanic get 2 to 4 littres of Nissan Matic-D ATF or is he getting it in large quantites being a mechanic and all?

My mechanic gets really good prices from the Nissan dealership he used to work at, I'm not sure how how many litres he got all I know he priced it for me as $50, all I know it's enough to cover the ATTESSA (0.5l if duncan is right) and transfer case (1.5l), so I guess 2-3litres.

edit: plus he owns a R32 GTR as well so probably brought for his supply as well.

Your comment about needing 1.5 litres got me to thinking as Duncan has suggested that the transfer case takes 2.0 litres. I looked in the workshop manual and it suggests 1.8 litres. For the record I put 2.0 litres in mine last night (I could not get the filler plug out and thought it would be just as good to pour in the exact quantity). I didn't notice any real problems today; but I guess the difference between 1.8 litres and 2.0 litres is relatively small!

For fluids the manual recommends

Transfer case (page CH-59) - 1.8 litres of Nissanmatic fluid D [approx. 1.8 litres]

Manual transmission (page CH-23) - Nissan gear oil MP-G special GL-4 #75-90 [approx 4.1 lites]

Front final drive (page CH-125) - Nissan gear oil hypoid GL-5 85W-90 [approx. 1.0 litre]

Rear final drive (page CH-125) - Nissan gear oil hypoid LSD GL-5 80W-90 [approx. 1.5 litres]

I have no personal opion as to the products and quantities; but I thought I would provide reference to the manual to round out the discussion.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
