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 !

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
