Hey All,

I have been reading heaps of threads about chnaging the gearbox oil in an R33 Skyline. Some posts say it requires just under 4 litres and other posts specify that it requires 2.8litres.

It seems like a fairly large discrepancy to me.

Can anyone shed some light on what the correct amount of oil for the gearbox is for me?

Thanks

depending how long you let it drain for is how much you put back in.you put in as much as it will take (until it drains back out the fill hole). Buy 4 litres to be safe. mine took about 3.4litres its a manual R33 gtst

Yep... buy the 1gallon bottle and a 1lt bottle as well, just in case (you can always return the 1L). I just put 3L in my R33 Manual gearbox, but i don't think it was completely drained (mechanic said i needed to top it up after the removed it due to spillage)

GEAR OIL CAPACITIES

================

RB25DET is 2.8 litres to the drop. I measured it to the mL, squirted it into the box and a single teardrop flowed out the hole.

RB25DE is 2.5 litres

RB20E is 2.0 litres

4WD RB25DE is 4.1 litres.

DIFF OIL CAPACITIES

===============

RB20E non LSD is 1.0 litres

Active LSD is 1.6 litres

All other R33 2WD types are 1.3 litres (90% of ECR33 diffs)

Non GTR 4WD types: front is 1.0 litres, rear is 1.3 litres.

=======================================

AUTO TRANS CAPACITIES

==================

5 speed is 8.5 litres

4 SPD 2WD: RB20E is 7.9 litres; RB25DET is 8.3 litres

4 SPD 4WD: RB25DE is 8.3 litres

=======================

Hope that provides some clarity !

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
