What oil do you guys run in your gearboxes and diffs?

[0HR-30T]

Ok,no one discuss it with me then! :goddam:

Adam,I'm going to try some of that Redline Shockproof in my gearbox and diff next change...

As for the front: After much deliberation, if the new air dam is to be used, the tekamon front is the go, but if staying basically stock, I think the tekamon bonnet would look best with modified stock grille and stock headlights.

For Oil: I use 75W/90 Mobil full synthetic in both LSD & Gearbox

[Adam_RSX]

YES

I agree with you

Hmmm... 75/90... cool

I swear my diff isnt standard... on the way to a friends place in the hills last night, going up a set of very sharp hairpins on a slope, was in second, lowish revs, once I turn the front wheels a certain amount the diff sort of locks and the inside wheel chirps. I've noticed it when I've done sharp rolling u turns (little or no power on) and its chirped then too

Is that normal?

The car came from Japan with a few bits like the Watanabes, adjustable suspension, 3 inch exhaust, momo wheel, Jenesis (I think) front bar with offset plate and a huge GT wing

[Adam_RSX]

Oh, do u want some pics of that spoiler on a Tekamon front on a white car?

[boj01]

My car also chirps in 2nd gear quite easy.....maybe all R200 diffs are like it???

Redline oil is the way to go, it does wonders for notchy as hell toyota boxes, I'm bout to try some in my car...... I'll let you know how it goes!

[boj01]

Does anyone else get this problem on a semi-standard FJ20 box....... for example, coming to a red light, shift out of gear into neutral and coast up to the lights, when it comes time to go again, 1st is a mofo to engage!!! Anyone had similar problems or know what it is???

[Adam_RSX]

I dunno if mine chirps second, I dont shift that fast or drop the clutch

[Ghostrider]

The engagement problem can be said for many makes and models as ease of selection depends entirely on the alignment of the gears at the stationary position. If it doesn't go into first easy, take second, then first and it should go in easy, second time around.

[PHaT MR30]

or take your foot off the clutch, then re apply the clutch and select the gear, if ind it funny how many people try to select reverse and can't get it, when all they need to do is this

[rsx84]

with my front i have a relativly large cooler sitting infront of the radiator, the 2 slits at the front feed air to the radiator as the fmic sits rather low (for that perposs) i also raised the bonnet using washers about 10-13mm at the hindges to get a little more air flow through the engine bay...

[Adam_RSX]

You can also give the engine a slight rev and it will pop in to gear

[DR JOSH]

My gear box is absolutly stuffed, and slowly getting worse. Hard to put into first, hard to take out of first, can't change to second without crunching, starting to crunch into third. No one else can drive my car but me. Looks like RB20 box time.

[Mike Cash]

sorry to hijake the thread a bit but...

would a 39-40 offset be acceptable on a 30? rim size is 16" and do 30's have a 4/114.3 stud pattern??

and anyone got any idea of a price of sending mags from melbourne to adelaide or a website with pricing info?

[Adam_RSX]

What width are the wheels?

I dunno if 39-40 would fit... thats getting a fwdish

[Adam_RSX]

I've got 16*8's, +32 ready to go on the back of mine

[PHaT MR30]

freight wouldn't be that expensive was $90 for 4 brand new rims melbourne to launceston (across bass straight)

[PHaT MR30]

Check out this pair of tough R30s!

[Adam_RSX]

That first one is Shane's I think

The grey one is awesome

[MicksR30]

Hey all, has anyone in here modified their Aussie R30?

Im planning on getting extractors and a custom 2 1/2 inch. exhaust made soon.

has anyone done this? if so, how much difference did it make?

I already have a K&N panel filter in a modified air box. Also, does anyone have a manual R30 that they want to sell chaep?

I just want the necicary parts to convert my auto to manual.

and, does anyone have a R30 wagon that they are wrecking? I want the disc brake rear.

And finaly, i want some Jap spec taillights, anyone have any for sale?
