Hey everyone, I was hoping somebody would be able to lend their wisdom as I'm having a bit of trouble finding solid information on what I'll be needing + what people recommend for driveline oils and lubes for a S2 Stagea RS4S.

The car is a daily drive with around 80,000km on it currently and I'm looking to do pretty much all the driveline oils first thing in the new year but I'm just stumped on what I should be considering to do the job. Price isn't a factor but reliability certainly is.

The gearbox and diff certainly feel like their in good condition, the only notable annoyance is occasionally first or reverse sometimes doesn't want to go in after the car has been started on a cold morning it eventually comes around after about 10-15 seconds after starting though, otherwise the drive itself never presents an issue, no crunching or worn feeling gears at all.

I know I'm basically up for many if not all of the same requirements for the driveline as the R33 GTR but for reference could anyone help point me in the right direction for capacities and recommended grades for Gearbox, Transfer Case, Front / Rear LSD and Hicas.

I'm between using Genuine Nissan, Redline Oils, Royal Purple and Motul for the job, but I'm happy to hear all helpful suggestions :-)

Thanks in advanced.

same spec as the gtr

for attesa (the p/s looking res in the boot) use genuine nissan power steering fluid

asside from that use anything that is fully synthetic

you need diff fluid that has the lsd additive in it (castrol do a full syn one, think penrite does too)

just use stuff rated for r33 gtr

I get a 20L synthetic atf and use it in the auto (well i used to ...got a manual now) the attessa and the power steering.

Castrol Edge 10 -60 for the engine.

Redline in the manual box (do some searching in the skyline forum to see which you want).

Castrol Edge 10 -60 for the engine.

thats pretty thick, if its a neo motor the stock nissan oil is 7.5w30

10w60 is 3 weights heavier and unless it goes to the track and sees temps 30°C+ higher than normal then its way too thick

i'll be running 10w40 max, will prob just use 10w30

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
