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 :)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
