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

thankyou.

i use and recommend tranzmax z...so does the owner and driver of the worlds 3rd fastest GTR

Cheeeky....i think that may be you dirt old boy!

yeah looks like tranzmax for me then; just quickly does anyone know the price per litre or bottle? I require 2 litres yeah?

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

I have this DVD ignition GTR special and whos the bloke doing the interview? is it you or mark?

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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
