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".

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
