I checked the oil in my auto gearbox the other day cos i noticed that it was making a pretty loud noise from park to reverse, anyways te dipstick showed up that there was only half the oil tat was suposed to be in there and it seemed clear, it had a very very slight red colour to it if u looked closely enough ... it seemed strange cos oil was changed in july, so i went out and brougt 4litres of Castrol Transmax Z fully synthetic oil, cost me $60 (its a weird green colour), anyways i popped the drain plug out and i statred shouting abusive language at the bitch cos the oil pouring out of the pan was a deep red colour, it was that dark that you could mistake it for black.... so what hapened to the cleary crap i was expecting to see !!

I swear to never trust those shity dipsticks again ...

Another thing as well was that there was just under 4litres in there and i had a look in the r33 owners manual ive got and it says that my gearbox takes 8.3litres .... now im confused ... itsays that the manual gearbox in the rb25det takes 2.8litres, but 8.3 litres for an auto doesnt sound right to me .... I havent put any oil back in as yet.

So does anyone know for sure ??

The 8.3 litres includes the torque convertor, which you can't drain without removing the box.

You won't get any more than 3 1/2 to 4 litres out draining the pan, I use Mobil ATF to flush the boxes, only costs around $20-00 for 4 litres, and is equivalent to Nissan Matic D oil.

Trouble is, theres still over 4 litres of crappy oil in the box after draining, so fill it with the cheaper stuff and drain a few times, then add your expensive stuff.

Some auto specialists have gearbox flushing machines which can flush all the crap out and completely replace the oil, might be worth doing

HTH :)

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
