Hey blokes,

i did a quick search and looked at the sticky thread but id just like to comfirm if there are any differences between the r32-r34 gtr transfer cases regarding which fluid to use; SAU recommmends castrol transmax Z but should i spend more and opt for the toyota v160 auto tranny fluid i used in the getrag?

anyone here have an r34 gtr who has done a fluid change and not encountered any issues?

id appreciate any help

Mark "100% throttle even when sideways at 170MPH" Jacobsen is the owner, rider and trainer of the 3rd fastest GTR

My old bus was the worlds fastest low-mount vehicle...until another aussie took that crown from me.

but yeah...tranzmax z Johnny

Ahhh mad, u seem like a nice bloke! great car too.....in fact if i hadnt bought my r34 gtr i would have bought yours.

Congrats on the time; are u gonna try n beat it???

due to the fact i was restricted to a terminal speed below 140MPH with the old set-up, even just pulling 4th gear will see it go quicker and faster (yes 9.95 @ 139 MPH using only 3 gears!). ANDRA rules state that any car exceeding 140MPH must have a parachute fitted, and due to the fact i didn't have one...i was holding it in 3rd for half of the track...i knew that 9100rpm over the line in 3rd gear would run 139 MPH...not 140. The new PPG dogbox, much bigger turbo and a parachute fitted will see the car run much faster and quicker...how much?...well only time will give the answer to that one. Id love to run a 8.9 though.

Amazing.....holding redline like that while concentrating on going straight on is a challenge.

id like to see the first low mount turbo car with a parachute out the back and what your excuse to the police officer would be.

Good luck mate, please let us know when you get running again as im keen to see it.......keep safe though!

UPDATE

Got my car back from the mechanics; had castrol transmax Z put in. Sold from Bursons it was 90dollars for 4 litres.

Now no noticible change in the car but its nice and smooth and under some throttle in 1st n 2nd there were no warning lights or strange noises.

For anyone with an r34 gtr unsure of what to use, the castrol is fine. I, like always am very paranoid and had thought r34 transfer cases would require a different fluid to the r32 and 33.

Im not hesitant to use it in my gearbox the next time a service is due as i paid a premium for toyota getrag v160.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
