Hi Stuart,

I'm using the Nulon 10W/40 for the motor and Nulon for the gearbox. The gearbox one is for Matic J(As well as others). Diff oil should be the same as an R34 GTR me thinks.

You need about 5lt's for the motor and about 8lt's for a fully drained gearbox.

cheers

so Matic J Synthetic for the Auto and transfer, 75w90 GL4 front diff and 80w90 LSD GL5 for th rear diff.....

This sound OK?

Transfer case is same atf as gearbox and steering. Get a 20L drum as gearbox will take about 14L - you need to pump it out via the cooler pipes to get it all.

Any updates on how this went?

Looking to do the same. Thinking of http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Full_Synt...smission_Fluid/ in the auto and Red Line 'Lightweight Shockproof' for the diffs.

Comments?

Exactly what I have in my car.

No complaints whatsoever :happy:

Good to hear.

So how much do I need? Is the 20l comment above accurate?

How much of the Red Line?

Thanks

3 bottles of Redline Lightweight Shockproof will leave you with some left over. Get them from for damn good pricing :)

You will need around 8.3L of trans oil if filling from empty.... if flushing, Nissan use 10.5 on their machine.

As an aside, you can also use the Nulon trans fluid for the ATTESSA and power steering (Nissan use Matic D for these)

On the gearbox without flushing it completely you will be hard pressed getting 5lt's of the old oil out even with twin after market transcoolers( :))....so 5lt's if your just want to change what's in there without flushing. If not I think it's about 7lt's or 8lt's plus a flush....IMO unless your oil is cooked I would not bother with a complete flush.

As for the diff's.....haven't done em yet so.....I guess someone else can answer that.

I had a 60% blocked radiator for a while, so I wouldn't rule out cooked.

Got details on the after market oil cooler? I'm noticing the gearbox seems to start hunting a little bit after getting heated up on a long highway climb. Wouldn't mind getting a bigger cooler in there if it isn't a huge expensive job.

Any trans cooler will be of benefit.

Personally I am running a PWR "6-cylinder" unit and have mounted it on a bracket behind the grill as you can see below (obv without the grill).

There are plenty of cheap trans coolers. Just note that if you are using a 3/8" transmission hose, you will need to make sure of the connection to the radiator cooler as I believe they are slightly smaller than 3/8".

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
