hey guys replacing all the oils inmy r34 gt t. what are all the capacities so i can fill them correctly, ie engine, gear box, diff, etc. also what are the best spark plugs to get and what is the gap size of them. ooh and is a fuel filter from supercheap (specifically for the gt t) adequate.

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.

So how do you replace the diff oil an how much, ive heard also its about 4.7l for the engine so thats sweet. would like a spec sheet on all oil capacities. would like to know what exact plugs to use so i dont get any probs.

BUMP

need info on diff oil and gearbox oil capacity for R34

engine oil - 4.5L as above posts

gearbox oil - i've bought the redline lightweight shockproof gear oil (3.785L)

diff oil

Any advise ppl as to what oil to use and the litres required? Car is used for daily driving and hardly any track use

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...

R34 WORKSHOP MANUAL

i) on disk

ii) pdf format (so a bit tedious)

iii) in English

iv) for free :(

just PM me

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:

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
