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?

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
