Using gear oil in a box that requires ATF fluid, do you want to ruin your getrag?

I know alot about GTRs, Sean knows more,especialy about the mechanical side of things and if he says he is going to use that oil there is a good reason for it and he wouldn't do it lightly, he would have reseached it throughly.

I think ATF is a gear oil, just a very light grade

ATF is closer to engine oil than it is to a gear oil, ATF is anything between 10W to 10W30, gear oil is closer to 75w-90 to 75w140 (shockproof light which is effectively a 75w140)

I was told shockproof super light, and or one of the special royal purple gbox oils, are a light oil. Reason is that the getrags run fibre lined synchros and they can burn out/be damaged by a thicker oil (that's what I was told a while back).

Also Redline claims on the back of it's container that it has a viscosity of 30 but offers the protection of a much thicker oil...something like that.

Getrags are cheap, aren't they >_<

I wasn't told by some keyboard warrior, I talked to a well known workshop that has specialised in GTRs as well as Z's for years and years, and 2 gearbox specialists. Also some of the US forums, but just for info.

I used smurfs blood, redline shock proof (Blue stuff) in the GTR......32.

Blew 3rd gear out 3 weeks later.... >_<

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
