Has anyone swapped out their diff fluids yet, what did you use and how did it go?

Do any of you get the locker style binding/chatter on low speed turns? (a lot of the USA guys seem to get it).

The stocker fluid is Castrol SAF-XJ 75W-140, and a lot of the USA guys are using Motul Competition gear oil 75W-140 which is available here readily too.

Thoughts?

How about you try WR35DF....its superior in terms of high temperature track performance and anti-bind to anything else out there :(

I'm wondering when is a good time to change out the diff fluid. i'm at 6200 km's now not sure if I should of done it already?

Sammy its up to you, however the GTRs we build for clients, we change it out straight away. As for your instance, yes, you would notice the change and smoothness (reduced chatter and binding) of the diffs straight away :(

Thanks Mitch. You'll be hopefully shipping my transmission back to GC in a few days, it will have your special Willall racing Trans oil put in and your transmission cooler attached when reinstalled. After i've seen how it drives i'll probably place an order for the diff oil in short order as well. I've read so many good reviews on forums of people around the world with your oils in their R35's. Just need to experience it first hand before replacing it myself in all area's of the car.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
