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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
