Hey guys, just wondering if I can put Motul FF LSD Type 2 in both my gearbox and diff? I bought them few weeks ago at autobarn, one of their staff recommended to me. But people from work says dont put lsd oil in the gearbox cuz its thick. What do you guys reckon? Thanks in advance!

I was running Redline Shockproof Heavy in the rear diff in my R33 GTR Vspec and it was causing the diff to bejust too tight so I replaced it with Motul LSD Type 2 and it is now working perfectly.

I also have purchased some more Motul LSD Type 2 to run in the gearbox in the same car at the next oil change.

This oil was designed for front wheel drive cars that have the diff and gearbox in the same housing so is perfect for gearboxes and diffs.

Thanks Charles!

I'll use it for my diff then. As my car doesn't have a diff in the gearbox, should I just use regular gear oil instead of Motul LSD Type2?

This stuff is not thick by any means and it is Motul's product that is made to compete with the Redline Shockproof range of oils.

I will be using it my GTR's gearbox following its great performance in the diff but the final decision is yours to make.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
