80,000 and for some reason the shit that came out of the diff was black (i mean black as coal) and as thin as saliva.. Strange..

Then they pumped redline in there and it felt like I had a new clutch, was popping gears everywhere changed felt like crap, can no longer quick change the diff reacts to slow, I feel that im going to crunch my gears.

For $150 bux they can $%^#&&%$^ Ill be sticking to a LSD Motul oil!

EDITED: I think im a little angry today.

Just narrowed it down a little more for you..

You can use the following from Motul:

90 PA SAE90

70W-140 GEAR COMPETION ( I THINK THATS OVERKILL IF YOUR STREET)

And to confirm with people that the R34 GTT does come from factory with a LSD I tracked down its specs:

Thank you GTR UK

Oh I think for what I read id go the 90PA

Does anyone know which gearbox and diff oil is good for the Skyline R34 GTT. My car has done about 44,000 km and it is very hard to change into 2nd gear. So I suspect it could be the gearbox and diff oil that needs changing.

I am also confused with the fact that people are saying the R34 have LSD, I thought only the R34 GTR got LSD, not the GTT right. Can anyone verified?

Thanks

R34 GT-T Manual comes with a helical LSD

R34 GT-T Auto comes with a viscous LSD

Actually Yeah, Driving has improved with the Redline in the box, seems to run alot smoother than before.

Ive found out the Helical LSD will run with any oil and LSD specific oil is not typically put into the diff, as long as its got oil it wont break according to the gurus. Which oil is up to you.

I still dont recommend Redline but its going to be a shit expensive task if I want to drop some new oil in.. The Motul 300 will work well. Mobil is good too.

I wouldnt bother with redline its prob for older cars.

After reading your comment Decim8. The conclusion is Redline Shockproof is ok for gearbox and not for diff?

Anyway, I am already planning to try it out, putting Redline Shockproof lightweight in gearbox and putting Castrol SAF XA in Differential this Friday. Lets hope everything works out. Damn those oil costs $200+ bucks already :wave:

Finally got my gearbox oil changed to redline shockproof lightweight and diff oil changed to Castrol SAF-XA.

Done about 200-300 km already, feels the same, dont notice any differences.

I guess the gearbox and diff haven't got any problems, so can't really fix anything :)

Just wanted to update this thread.

I have just done about 1500-2000 km after the gearbox oil changed (Redline Shockproof Lightweight).

There are actually quite a bit of difference now, the gear seems so much smoother than before even with colder weather morning start.

I am happy with the result so far, smooth as butter and it just slides in neatly going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Also able to get into first gear easier than before.

Not sure if it is killing my gearbox right now, but time will tell.

Hope this help for other seeking advice on the redline gearbox oil.

Cheers.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
