Hey guys, im having a real deliema, i just bought some of this Redline shockproof 80w140 the red stuff. Now i have chucked it in the diff and gearbox.

The problem im having is that it still feels like my gearbox is really tight. As in getting the gears in. Sometimes they feel like they are crunching to get in.

What do you recommend for gearbox??? or should i stick with this stuff?

Also I can really smell this stuff its really strong inside the car. is that normal??

Also its for my 34gtt. and i also have a short shifter.

Cheers.

sorry found right section;

80w140? This is similar to the Redline shockproof, is that what your using? Most people use lightweight shockproof.

I've seen MT-90 recommended although I'm going to try MTL first...

damn straight the short shifter will be making it worse.

but gearbox takes smurf blood. the human blood is for diffs not gearbox

although tecnically they are both gear oils...I would not be putting the red one esp. at the visc in the GB.

just oils with the appropiate friction modifiers. I use MT-90 redline...I found it better than shockproof as it too is really a gear oil.

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
