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 :)

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
