Hi guys,

I have searched and read a bit but the most relavent topic I found just had people listing which oil they use. There is no mention of which diff, internals etc.

I have an HR31 with a tired R200 Longose LSD, I have purchased a Nismo LSD rebuild kit which will be going in to tighten it up. It will most likely see more weekend driving than anything but I intend to do more drag nights at WSID and more track days in the coming year. Is there any specific type of oil I should use once the new LSD kit is in?

Thanks in advance.

I just got a Kaaz 2 way installed by Award diff and gearbox in sydney. Very happy with it by the way.

It came with oil..... BUT it doesnt last too long, it breaks down with the flogging it gets from the clutches. Especially on track day.

They advised me that there is basically 2 types of oil for lsd diffs:

1. the good stuff which has the friction modifiers bonded to the oil molecules - i cant remember which brands though >_<

2. the ones that basically have the friction modifier poured into the oil, wont last half as long before its stuffed and you need an oil change.

Any way the girl on the phone sure knows her stuff.

Its readily available in NZ from Nissan or from Motul dealers (its made by Motul). If your local Nissan dealer doesn't have it they should be able to order it for you as its specified for the latest GTR.

This is the Motul version:

and this is the Nismo (it is a slightly higher spec):

Quick look on Ebay reveals an Aussie supplier:

Thanks for the info. Been doing some research too. The nismo stuff is proving hard to find

Penrite equivalent of the Motul 75/140.

May be easier for you to get. Alot of the newer cars with lsd's use this grade

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
