Hey guys, about 2 months ago i searched for what oils are best for my gear box and diff but had no solid answer, just what guys are using in their own cars.

My car is a r33 series 2 gtst manual, and i need to know asap because auto barn has a 20% sale store wide this weekend so i need to buy it this weekend.

My question is what is the best oil for my gear box and diff, so i can go buy it and save some cash.

Thanks.

Most swear on red-line Shock proof.

Do a quick search on here.....

I myself run it on my car...both diff and gear box....give it 400k's and you will feel the difference.

Hope i have been of some help.....

Cool i was kind of leaning towards redline, except i read something about it not being good for the syncros or something in a r33 gear box.

Well since you have used it, whats your opinoin of your gear box and diff since using it? Obviously its easier to tell the difference with the gear box compared to diff.

Also how many litres did you use in the gear box and how many litres in the diff if you remember, so i know how many litres to buy.

Cheers mate

As far as my understanding goes, the redline shockproof oil is supposed to be good in old/worn out gearboxes it's kinda like a bandaid while you save the money for the new parts the box needs?

I use the castrol synthetic stuff to suit.

agreed, i use it in every car that the customers car that can afford it and over 10years i have never had a complaint..... or a damaged box because of the oil selection.

GeeTR even in fresh boxes ive never had an issue.... PPG would not warrant thier boxes without it :)

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
