Copy cat Steve! :P I too use 300V (10W 40 or 15w 50) and Pureone oil filters.

I've been using 300V for 4.5yrs. While it won't stop your ringlands from cracking it sure as hell keeps the rest of the internals in excellent shape! Having been un/lucky enough to view my engine internals I can vouch for 300V. As does my engine builder.

Oh yeah... I does smell rather nice too. I wonder how it would go for cooking fish and chips? :rolleyes:

I think I might try the Motul this time..  

Just got off the phone with Motul, and although they suggested either:

300V 15W-50 or the 300V Chrono 10W-40..

They recommended the 10-40.. bugger only comes in 2litre bottles. How many litres do you need for a GTR RB26?

You use to be able to get it in 5L containers (well 15W 50 300V did anyway) and even 100+L drums! I'm not sure about the RB26DETT but the RB25DET takes 4.7L with filter if I remember correctly. So 3 x 2L containers.

I also use to get a 300V 10W40 2L container for $19.95 - isn't it amazing how the prices rise when a product becomes popular :P .

Castrol Formula R synthetic, 10W60 in the engine.

Castrol Syntrax, 75W90 in the gearbox

Castrol Transmax Z in the transfer case

Castrol SAF-SA, in the differentials

Castrol Anti Freeze Ati Boil in the radiator

Castrol PS Fluid in the Power Steering

Boring aren't we? :Pimp2:

hmmmm...

affiliated with castrol in any way?

Sorry to hijack, meshmesh, but I asked this a while ago and no one responded.

Do you have to use a different oil in the transfer case, because I intended to use Redline Lighweight Shockproof (Blue) in:

*Gearbox

*Front Diff

*Rear Diff

*Transfer case

in my 32GTR... or should I use heavyweight shockproof in the rear diff?

You use to be able to get it in 5L containers (well 15W 50 300V did anyway) and even 100+L drums! I'm not sure about the RB26DETT but the RB25DET takes 4.7L with filter if I remember correctly. So 3 x 2L containers.

4.7L???? Can anyone verify this. I put in about 4L and the dipstick is about halfway. Should you measure the height of oil in the dipstick when engine's warm after letting the oil settle for a few minutes or right after you turn the engine off????

so in the rear diff just use redline 75w 90 not shockproof light...

whats the reason emre for not using shockproof in the rear diff..???

also i used redline mt90 in my r34 gtr gearbox .. works great...

i would keep using nissan matic d or castrol trans z in the transfer case to match the oil in the 4wd pump system...in a gtr of course...

cheers..

Hi Mark,

Purely, it's not recommended by Redline themselves. I don't know how Shockproof would perform in an LSD. 75w90 for normal use or 80w140 for race use is recommended.

It's not recommended to use Shockproof in the R34 GTR gearboxes, as the Getrag doesn't like it. MT90 is meant to be quite good for it, but Snowman did his 3rd gear syncro on the circuit using the MT90.

The oil in the transfer case and the ATESSA pump are not mixed. Nissan Matic D is what's recommended from factory. I've heard the usual Dexron III type ATF wouldn't be very good but that's what i've been using for near on 4 years.

used to have mobil 1 and they are great, just want to try something new and hope it's better.

now using motul and nismo oil filter

15208RN020_shohin2.jpg

in the site nismo claim:

Compare to original filter;

21% less oil pressure (resistance)

24% more filtering

10% more strength

37% longer life

already spend shit load on the car, don't care another $15-$20 if they can make "a little bit" different.

I post this in every which oil thread:

I believe the best Oil you can use for GTR (and gtst) is Motul 300v series

I use chrono because its closest to the factory specs IE 10w30

A tiny bit thicker than standard but not too much.

Im not the only one who thinks its the best oil for GTR/GTSt, So does Nismo :)

Oh and that oil filter above is awesome! Where can u get them? I cant find them anywhere around here anymore.

I payed $40 per 2L can of Motul 300V Chrono at Autobahn on special order.

Its well worth it, i can honestly say that the 300V has made a difference to the behavior of my engine.. in a good way!

Hi SK, I can't find the SAF-SA; the only diff fluid listed on Castrol site is SAF-XA is this the one to go for in the diff?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
