After reading thread after thread on oils. I NEED to know, what is the standard gearbox and diff oil nissan put in our cars from factory??

I want to change mine (diff and gearbox) on friday. Again i've read post after post and I can't decide which to use... Others say VMX-80 others go and say Redline shockproof which is really expensive. I don't have any crunching, I just want to change oils for maintenance.

R33 RB25DET.

Cheers.

there is no definite answer to what oil to use, if you go by "you pay for what you get" then the definte answer is the most expencive.

But people also have different prefferences to what oil to use like you said that arnt overly expencive but do a good job, my prefference is the motul engine oil and motul gearbox oil, which i continue to use and am rather happy with, a bottle of motul engine oil like "turbo light" or something is around $70? - cant remember...

But oil is oil trel, just make sure its not cheap and nasty stuff and make sure its the right weight, aka 20-50 etc

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
