Can someone tell me what type of fluid goes into the GTR V-Spec hydraulics? I'm having problems with 4WD system and need to bleed the fluid through. This is the fluid that goes in the canister in the boot.

Hi Chris,

what problems are you having with the 4wd system. PS: I dont have it here with me at the office, so I cant check for you but there a thread where you can download the GTR Service manual in a PDF 800pages about 22Mb... if you dont have an answer I check it for you when I get home tonight.

Thanks guys. I have the R32 Service manual and it says 'Nissan Special Power Steering Fluid' which was a little unhelpful. I had removed the front drive shaft for a skidpan day and i'm no longer getting as much torque to the front wheels. So I was going to try bleeding the hydraulics and changing the transfer case oil aswell.

I also just had a GRID dash dancer installed by RevZone after this event, and it doesn't seem to be working in the 4WD mode (should be 50/50 split). The RWD works ok, but the 1st time I set it to 4WD the Active LSD and 4WD light came on in the dash and the car felt like the handbrake was full on. The car didn't want to move forward.

Now i'm getting the airbag and abs led comming on after about 15minutes of driving. But when I can put the car in neutral and roll along the led's go off.

So a few gremlins I need to sort out.

Yeah the special power steering fluid they refer to is Nissan Matic D. I had to go and buy some from Nissan when my car was apart, and the mechanic didnt put in enough fluid when putting it all back together.

Meshmesh, not yet. Ive got the redline lightweight shockproof for the gearbox and transfer case, and redline 75w90 for the diffs sitting right next to me as I type this :) Will let you know how it goes if youre interested.

So two litres is enough for gearbox and transfer case?

and I assume a litre each for the front and rear diffs?

The web site says MT90 for gearbox and trasfer case which is a 75W90, then says the diffs use a 75W90. There are 2 types of 75W90, the GL5+ and the GL4 (MT90) which one is correct?

You need two 3.785 litre bottles (1 US gallon) to do gearbox and transfer case. MT90 is reccomended for these then in brackets it has redline lightweight shockproof. Ive only heard good things about the shockproof, so went the shockproof. The 75W90 they sent me for the diffs is API GL5/GL6.

One 3.7 litre bottle should do both diffs. As told to me this is what the parts take

Gearbox -- 4.1 L

Transfer case -- 1.8 L

Rear diff -- 1.5 L

Front diff -- 1.0 L

I should be getting all those changed in the next week, if you havnt bought some by then Ill tell you how it goes :(

I rang the VIC rep from redline and had a chat. He says the price on the net is a little bit high for retail price and he told me to give Oil World in cheltenham a call as these are the closest stockist to myself. Will let you know how much of a saving I make. Might be worthing ringing around in the future. depending on your local area

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.
