did anyone try to change ta another brand? and did that help?

i have the same problem, had a bunch of other brands before then after one change it started to spit out of the breather.

Yes and yes. You can change the oil or extend the breather as above.

Let me revive this thread.

I've been having this issue with my rb25. Oil leaking out of my tranny breather hose. Yesterday I changed my fluid, thinking that maybe my shockproof lightweight had worn out and become even thinner and this would fix it. I also added a small water/oil separator at the end of the hose in the engine bay, like someone in this thread suggested a long time ago. I though this would fix it and it would take forever to fill the separator/filter. Well, today I popped the hood to check on my filter, and...

So, after doing further research I came across this thread from '10.

https://aus300zx.com/xenforo/index.php?threads/oil-from-gearbox-vent.300868/

Very interesting. One member mentions how having a bent vent tube pointing downwards can cause this problem. I did noticed mine is bent a bit, downwards. I will bend it up a bit as soon as I get a chance, hopefully this solves my problem.

I just thought I'd share this in case anyone out there is having this problem.

I will report the results.

I still have dramas with mine, Thinking about changing oils and going away from redline lightweight, But the box feels so much nicer with redline oil in it.

I'm fairly certain I bent the tube straight a while ago and still didn't fix the issue, thats when I went to the breather setup, but I'm getting problems like yours. Was starting to think I had put the one way baffle plate in the wrong way when I rebuilt the box but think I would have bigger issues if that was the case.

Be interested to see where everyone else is at with this issue, I first thought someone mentioned a batch of lightweight shockproof that was doing this but it was not an issue with later batches but I've had a few bottles through mine by now

Mine worked a couple of years with redlige. But after one change the problems came. Changed again to a nej redline and the problem remained. Now i drive with mobil1 and havent had a single problem ?? First i bought a cheaper oil and drove a couple of miles then changed to the mobil1 just to clean the inside and get rid of the redline oil

Which oil are you using? Im thinking of changing

A Guy here in sweden works with renovate skyline engines and gearboxes. He hates the redline oil and says it damages the gearboxes. The picture is of the redline oil

the other picture is the oil he recomended and the one i have.

Redline shockproof is a band aid for stuffed synchros, not for tracking. Or so I've read.


Depends on the viscosity, lightweight is intended for old boxes that are still ok, heavy is more for stuffed synchros and such. Or so I've read.

Well, it's been over a month now since I bent my vent tube up slightly, and still having the same issue. As much as I love this blue stuff, I might have to go a different route... I was also thinking maybe the baffles inside the tranny.

I'll look into that mobile mobilubeGX. Any other recommendations?

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
