Hey all im kinda new here.. So hi :D But i was just wondering how much oil is the right amount to put in my gearbox. Im changing the oil on it wendsday and i want to fill it up to the correct amount. The cars a R33 Skyline with a RB25.

Thanks in Advance!!

4.1 litres if completely drained. However, it is difficult to achieve a complete drain. Between 3.8 and 4 litres is pretty normal.

Oh i found a old post.. Saying thats its just under 3.8Litres.

Can anyone else confirm this? Cause im buying some Redline shockproof lightweight oil to go in tomorrow to try fix my box. But i want to know im filling it to the right point.. But normally i fill it by the taking off the shifter. Thats why i need to get the right amount 100%

Fill 'till it starts running out the filler hole mate. This will ensure the exact amount. Just make sure you can get the filler bung undone before you dump the old oil mate, otherwise you'll be stuck!

HAHAHA woops i was doing a reply to a oil change on a engine at the same time. So your post is on the engine one :thumbsup: HAHAHA

ill post it now:).

- yeh its 3.8 liters and light weight synthetic from redline is the best gearbox oil because its more technical than a shell or castrol with the nulon adjective

go redline or your syncro's will get crushed fairly easy with other brands

cheers for the oil filter in the gearbox :laugh: HAHA

i read how the heavy weights are the best to avoiding grinding and etc however will be very notchy during the cold in the morning, can anyone confirm this?

So light weight is the way to go then is it?

By the way mate how much did you buy per litre of ur redline for?

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
