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

Cheers

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.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
