I have a near stock 32 GTR (only performance mods are cat back exhaust, pods and boost restriction valve removed) and was wondering what gearbox oil people would recommend?

I have heard Redline Lightweight Shockproof is one of the best. Has anyone had any experience with this oil? I believe it will be about $250 just to purchase enough oil for the gearbox, but if its as good as I have heard then I don't care.

The second review on this website is from the owner of a 32 GTR:

Any advice greatly appreciated.

i have used redline in my gtr for 2.5 years and cant fault it. I had a crunchy 3rd gear with motul, but now its smooth as with the redline.

some people say redline should be used in a synchro box, but until someone can give me a good reason why not, i'll keep using it, as it has transformed my gearbox.

Cheers. I assume when you refer to redline you are talking about the "shockproof" oil the sell?

I've used Redline lightweight shockproof in my gearbox and transfer case in 2 cars for 2 years.

I also use the heavyweight stuff in the diffs.

never had an issue, makes shifts feel a bit more firm and responsive.

worth the money in my opinion.

A couple of Canadian owners are using GM Syncromesh tranny fluid, same results as Redline. However, IMO Royal Purple is best and I will be putting some Royal Purple Syncromax to use.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
