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?

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?

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
