well im bookin my baby in for a major service and im not happy with the gearbox oil in it.. i had a heavy oil in it when i first bought it but as posted then it was crunchin when changing down into 4th and sometimes when going in to 4th on the way up if givin it some.. as im aware its the synchros however then i had a lighter oil put in to allow for the synchros to open quicker...

but ive been told to try one of those redline shock treatment's as many people have stated that they help fix that problem..

So after all that bs, my question is what a real good oil to use and or does that redline stuff work and which one.?

any help would be appreciated..

Cheers,

Corey

+ 3 for red line shockproof...

There are three types... heavy, light and superlight from memory...

I used the light one.. as mention above its the blue coloured one.

Expect to pay for it tho.. i think i paid 120 for 1 us gallon... or 3.8 litre in our terms.

yea it does

something about the particles going into the gears making it smoother..

not exactly sure on the technical info behind it

But it came high recommended from a trusted mechanic.

so i put it in, and it is as sweet as ever.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
