Recommended Posts

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

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:

*fingers cross*

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.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
