I cant find any actual guides on how to do it or where your meant to drain and fill it up from?

Has anyone got any pics of where you need to drain and top it up? or can you explain where it needs to be done cause my car definately needs it.

Technically its not that hard....

There is a drain plug on the bottom of the gearbox, you cant miss it,

it in the centre right at the lowest part of the gearbox.

The filler plug is half way up the passenger side of the gearbox, just follow up

from the drain plug.

When you do it clean the metal shavings of the metallic drain plug, and easier if you use a hose into the filler plug to fill.

I havent been able to do it yet, i couldnt get the filler plug off (car wasnt high enough of the ground!)

And its exactly the same for the diff...

as nissky said, thats all correct. The plug is a bitch to get off, and make sure u can take off the filler first, (if u drain first then can't undo it, ure fkd :D).

Really need a hoist to make it easier, and probably worthwhile to pay joe mechanic $30 to do it for u.

Ill also vouch for redline :(

You arent ****ed in a way. I have done it on the ground a few times and have always been able to get it off with a 17mm spanner, although its a long one, but if you cant then just fill through the gear stick on a Gtst. It ussually takes about 2L.

unless u have 1/2 decent tools just get a mechanic to do. the ease of the job will be mostly dependant on how tight the last person to change the oil did the bolts up. based on how hard my side plug was done up i have visions of an overmuscled, non-too-bright lad doing the last oil change on my car

Do you have to change the filter on the Manual gearbox? Is there a filter on the Manual boxes?  

I know that when changing oil on an auto box, you need to replace the filter aswell. Is this true for the Skylines?

there is no filter on a manual box. The bottom drain plug is magnetic to collect metal particles though.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
