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.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
