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.

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.

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. :yes: 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.

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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
