Hey, was doing a few laps a few weeks ago and by the end of the day when everything in the car was getting hot e.g. oil brakes etc, when i changed into 3rd 4th and 5th the gears would grind only when they where first getting into gear and under load.

they still did it on the way home when not under load but not as bad.. is it worth maybe changing oil for now and see what that does or you think synchros need changing?

ow and its an r32 gtr with 270 atw

Thanks

What you want in your Gbox is Redline Shockproof Lightweight aka Smurf's blood.

It'll get rid of your problems and there are a million cases both on here and NS where this oil has solved grinding/shifting problems in Nissan gboxes.

I know it worked for mine like a charm and I had gone through 3 differents oils.

However, the oil is only masking the problem and ideally, you should be gunning for a rebuild with new synchros, parts etc...

So if you're looking for a short term fix while you save up the funds for a rebuild, this is your best option.

Awesome thanks just ordered some smurfs blood. Now this may seem a little bit of a noob question. Is it hard to change the oil. I know that draining is easy. But would re filling require a special pump?

A word of caution - LWSP oil is a GL5 specification oil, which apparently contains some additives which aren't good for the brass synchro which RB/SR/VG boxes run. Not sure how much truth there is to it, but I have a gearbox which was run on LWSP for a long time and the synchros wore out before any other components did.
I've since changed to a GL4 specification oil (new gearbox), although too early to tell if it will make any difference.

Redline make a GL4 called MT-90, Amsoil apparently make a good GL4 also, but I haven't tried it.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
