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.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
