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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
