clutch type diffs need an LSD oil. The standard R33 diff does not need an LSD oil because the viscous centre is a sealed unit.

LSD oil has friction modifiers so the wet clutch works properly, if you fill with a normal oil your diff will shudder.

Check to see if that Castrol one is suitable for limited slip differentials.

Hard to get, not even sure what grade or weight, I'd need the brand grade and weight first. ie Motul Gear Oil 90 PA SAE90 or Motul Gear Competition 75W140????

I'm thinking that the Gear Competition would be the go, but would like to be sure, tearing the teeth off a diff is NOT on my list of things to do..........lol

Can anyone tell me the capacity of a Nismo diff.

A std diff is 1.8 litres, i just did my Nismo and it only took 1.35 litres and thats after I double checked!!

It flowed out the fill hole twice so it has to be full, but I'd like to have my figures confirmed - peace of mind and all that.

Since when is a std diff 1.8? 1.3 is on the money unless you have an extended backing plate (trust)

80-250 doesn't sound right, didn't think you could get the viscosities that far apart in an oil??? Maybe 80w150????

have a look at that... ( i double checked too.. i did read it correctly!) lol

Sorry, i went off what a certain well respected shop told me when they looked it up - when i was buying the oil.... pretty sure they said 1.8 - but it could be my memory, maybe they said 1.3 - I can't be 100% sure. Then I didn't look it up anywhere to check either.

BTW I just did a 1500km weekend and the Motul Gear Competition 75W140 worked fine, no problems.

And EJD, apologies, 80w250 it is>>>sounds like a good broad viscocity base, would handle a lot of situations.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
