Oil Forced Out Of Breather

[Aazzy]

Took the r33 out today was fairly hot (bout 40*c) have been running "redline lightweight". And found that it pumped a considerable amount of oil out the breather (bout 250ish ml). Has anyone had this issue. Wasn't an enthusiastic drive either, 45mins or so through Adelaide hills.

I tried to tell everyone. There's a thread here somewhere if you wanna have a bit of a read.

Change the oil to something else.

Motul gear, royal purple or something like that

[GTRsean]

Aerates too easily, they changed the make up of the oil, used to be good stuff. It seems to be crap now and 'bleeds' everywhere...

As above choose something else, or run a catch can lol.

Royal Purple HPS 10w40

Changing the oil sounds like the go then. I was only running that oil due to the syncros in 2nd getting a bit notchy. I guess I've just donated $120 to bursons. Oh well, I spose I could have spent it on worse things.

Umm i think you will find that your engine oil is diff to your gear box oil,

that is what i know bout it. Ok just re read,get rid of redline,had same prob as you,bleads out of breather.

As others said change to something else.I thought at the time years ago that this stuff was a great fix,

it was'nt.

The redline oil I have in mine is fine. Haven't noticed any leaks

[Aazzy]

It's not the first time it's had redline oil, I only changed it because it had been a while since it was done. And second had started to get a bit harder to select than normal (hence reason for the change). We run it in the track car also and it's been fine. I'll take it for another bit of drive tomorrow and see if its the same. I just wanted to see if there was some sort of gearbox issue that causes the box to pressurise.

Just filled my box up with lightweight shockproof and even at the track, I have no problems with it spitting out of the breathers. I know gtr Joey had this this issue also.it spewed out a few times but the last few months, nothing. Slight overfill maybe?

When I bought my oil off the distributor, I mentioned this issue to him. He said he hadn't heard of any formula changes at all. Maybe a bad batch?

I've had the sht in my box for years. I used to have issues with changing into 4th when at 7-8k I'm 3rd.

I wouldn't run anything eles in a gtr box, it's awesome stuff, I'd b devod if they changed the blends and f**ked it.

[GTR260]

Have been running redline shock proof in my car for 6 months and no problems with leaks or breathing, I may have get some old stock who knows?
