An R33 box used in an engine conversion we filled with normal gear oil wouldn't engage any gears with the engine running. With Redline Shockproof in it, it is essentially 100% driveable. Not perfect, but still a bazzillion % better than with normal oil.

Shockproof does have its uses.

alternatively you can just get the castrol vmx-m stuff for about 40$ then add a 500ml tube of Nulon 90 ...It should help a bit...

Ive been told VMX_M was originally designed to fix notchy mitsubishi boxes...

its probably not going to be as good as the redline but its a damn dight cheaper..

you know redline can be bought online for about 100$

I paid ~$125 for 1 gallon of Redline Lightweight Shockproof oil, found here

Can't recommend these guys enough, very good service, fast communication and was delivered the next day.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
