Just picked up a 32gtr, looking to do the engine, gearbox and diff oils pretty soon.

leaning towards smurfsblood for the gearbox (crunching into 5th also when shifting at speed), but not sure whether it is appropriate to run the same oil for the front/rear diffs.

Also is 10w40 semi synth ok for a rebuilt motor? oil will be changed every 7500kms and primarily street use.

Just noticed that redline recommends 80w140 for the rear diff and lightweight for the front diff. Anyone had any issues with this set up?

80w140 just causes a bit of chattering when cold. That's about it. Been running it for 2 years with no issue at all.

Been reading through all these pages and can't find a straight answer for my questions

I have a er34 awd manual

Gearbox oil-?

Transfer case-trasnmax z?

Rear diff oil-? Visious it think

Front diff oil-?

Attesa pump-trasnmax z?

Thank you to anyone that can clear things up

And! Just wondering if all my running gear and things are off a stagea? Might be able to find things easier.

Your gtfour is a 5 speed correct?

If it is not crunchy then put in a normal gb fluid as recommended in one of these pages.

Use lsd fluid for your rear diff (not needed for front but you might as well because it takes a bees dick worth of fluid)

Transmax z for remainder.

Just presume your car is a gtr then take advice from here.

I have read through this thread several times, and still end up confused on what product of oil i need to put in my GTR's rear/front diff's and transfer case...

Can somebody just tell me exactly what i need to buy from my local supercheap auto/auto barn/repco!

I did my Gearbox oil the other week, and used Castrol VMX-M. Seems all good to far, and shifts a bit smoother then the old oil that was in there!

Please. Somebody, just tell me what i need to buy......!

Thanks, I have the transmix z. So that's the attesa and transfercase out of the way

(one shop in town had it)

And they recommend castrol axle EPX 80-90 for the front and rear? Haven't opened it yet because I feel sus about it. And also they said that I don't need to change the gearbox fluid..... So that makes me think they don't know. Just going off that fluids chat on the computer. And I don't really bother because the aren't and er34 gt-fours listed... Then he told me that my car is rwd.. But yeah, it is manual. Iv had it for 7 years. It's not crunching into gears, it's just getting hard to select reverse and 1st when cold. Think it could be all factory fluid. Because when I first got it I was the second owner in Oz the previous owner had it for a year, and when I first got it, it had a big ass blue oil filter with Japanese over it. Old dirty spark plugs.

Hey guys who uses redline trans oil and what's the difference between the syn trans Castrol

I use Redline MT90 because its an actual GL-4 spec lube instead of Castrol and most other brands which are GL-5. 

 

The Nissan boxes are supposed to use a GL-4 although most people use GL-5, which apparently isn't good for the brass synchro gears.

I recently changed over to the OEM gearbox oil.
The gear changes were never as smooth before, I'm very happy with that oil and it's not expensive either.
 
 

You mean Nissan oem oil?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
