my understanding is 4.5-5l for the engine but not sure on diff and gearbox. Just check the dipstick afew times ..don't overfill, it's easier to top up a little :yes:

as for spark plugs .. everyone seems to be using/recommending NGK coppers, BCPR7ES I think .. or 6ES. I was told to use 7s on last service but I'm gonna try 6s this time. On last service the 7s were gapped to .8mm (stock coils) and the car was misfiring badly on idle and low rpm, regapped to 1mm and it was OK. Not sure why mine misfired on .8mm gap when everyone seems to recommend .8mm gap but yeah that's what happened.

My GTT makes 190rwkw or so on 11psi so I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks is the right heat range for spark plugs (GTT here too). I do mostly short trips so I'm worried the 7s might foul up and the cars performance with the 7s seems to be different every day.

Manual Trans Gear Oil according to Manual (an English Owner's Manual)

2.4 litres for RB25DE

1.8 litres for RB26DETT

Type of Oil = API GL-4

For the Diff, any oil you use, you keep filling it until it overflows.

Anyone who wants a...

Can't believe how long it took me to search for an answer on the manual transmission and LSD oil capacity. Just filled it today (R34 GT-T). For future reference:

Manual transmission: Redline LWSP ~3.5L

LSD: Castrol Limited Slip 90 ~1.6L

:happy:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
