i did a search on this a couple of months ago and found most guys in here to be using redline.

i did some reading and research on my own as well, looking @ neutral websites and see what they have to say abt redline and its was always positive.

i went ahead with it and no regrets whatsoever :D

expensive but well worth it. its gunna stay in your diff for 2 years so might as well get something top of the line.

no guide yet, so take some photos when you do it :P

Theres just the usual filler on the top at the rear of the diff, and a plug on the bottom. make sure you can open the filler plug before you let all the oil out....

takes about 1.5litres of 80w90 oil.

The filler is on the top and the drain is on the bottom...

But you don't want to drain all the oil only to find that you can't open the filler...

Yup strutto is correct, it doesnt matter what fluid you use, because a viscous coupling unit is not affected by the oil so you can just use any GL5 rated oil as you please. Mechanical/clutch style diffs in commodores etc are sensitive to the fluid's coefficient of friction so you must use a specified differential oil in those...

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By PranK · Posted

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.

      I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).
