A R34 GTR, being a newer RB26 then the R33's and R32's, you can use a full Synthetic base oil.

I use Mobil 10W 40 at them moment.

Motul / Castrol are others I have heard run well.

I am not sure which brand of gear box oil to use, cause my mechanic has always done it for me.

I believe Motul make a good oil for gear boxes.

Here is what I did when first got my GTR:

Oil

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

Spark Plugs

Battery

Radiator Coolant Flush

New Timing Belt

New Brake Pads / Rotors

Drive it till your next service and replace whatever needs replacing.

what brands are not as important as the type of oil and its specs.

the transmission and transfer case of 34r's are sensitive to what oils are used. the transmission oil must be automatic transmission oil ( i used royal purple automatic transmission oil suited for supra getrag which is the same gearbox as ours)

transfer oil has to be genuine nissan Dmatic.

My best advice is to ensure u take your GTR to a place that works on these cars and has very good knowledge of them. It will save u alot of headache later down the track

Enjoy your car! Just seeing it parked in my garage still puts a smile on face, a year on!

J-R32 Covered it well, the Matic-D oil for your transfer case is not overly expensive so you can't go wrong using what Nissan recommend for that.

As for the Transmission another oil that gets good reviews is Castrol Transmax Z, which is a Full synthetic Dexron® III type automatic transmission fluid and is available from Super Cheap Auto at a reasonable price. (I think from memory about $75 for 5 litres when on special).

Diffs I haven't done yet but will be getting advice from our local Nissan dealer as there is some confusion as to whether the vspecs need 80w90 Limited Slip Diff oil or just plain 80w90 diff oil.

Engine oil weight that is recommended is 10w40 and I always use Fully Synthetic Oil.

Just be carefull if you take it to a mechanic who isn't familiar with the R34 GTR's as he might not be aware that the Transmission is a Getrag and requires Auto Trans oil as opposed to the R33 GTR's and R32 GTR's and R34 non GTR's which are not Getrags and use 75w90 gearbox oil.

Attached the Service Data page from R34 service manual.

The" Nissan Mission Oil BNR34 special" oil that Nissan recommend for the Getrag gearbox is very very expensive and will most likely have to be imported from Japan and as many claim is only a rebadged Esso oil anyway as per this discussion http://www.supraforu...o-Toyota-Nissan. And also realise the attached page is from a non vspec and that is why they recommend API GL-5 diff oil front and rear for the diffs but I think the vspecs need a Limited Slip Diff oil.

Transmaxz if fine in the transfer case and if your picky you can go the expensive oem stuff (toyota v160) which i used but i used transmax in the transfer case

engine oil is nothing but motul, most will agree that 300v or 8100xcess

Congrats on the new car, im sure you will have many years of pleasure

I have run royal purple 75-90 in the getrag feels a little knotchy when cold but comes good when it warms up.. According to the redline site they recommend super lightweight for the getrag, but i have heard mixed reviews about their oils in the getrag box.. can anyone shed some light on this??

^^^ agree that the getrag is expensive to repair and replace, unlike an r32-33 gearbox where you can get a replacment easy.

go the genuine stuff, toyota v160 is very expensive but my preferred choice, i wont deviate.

there was a member on here 'snowy' i think who track raced his a blew a couple with redline, so he went for royal purple; he said that was good stuff and held up to harsh conditions.

Ive been looking a motul oils recently, they seem to make a race-spec auto trans fluid so ill look into that when its time to change - will be many years from now as i drive like a granny and have only done 6000kms on the new oil lolz

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
