Series 2 Stagea Rs4s Driveline Oils

[beaugus]

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).

Thanks for the info guys, got all the info and specifications that I needed

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

He's over in NZ so i would say thats probs why its so high.

Yep doing regular track days at 1 bar boost on a high mileage motor. I guess a low mileage neo used mainly around town could use something lighter.

yeh expecially in oz. i run castrol edge sport 0W40. no prob with it at all. though next change just to try something diff i'm gona use a similar mobile oil.
