I tried searching it but got no results :(

I have a R32 Gts-t just wondering what people use and what brand they find is best to cope with lock to lock and daily duties? I have a little play in the steering, so i checked the reservoir it is below empty by like 10mm so I'm guessing its time for a top up!

These are all full synth, so will last longer and be more boil resistant, which will be important if you track it.

Nissan certifications in brackets;

Nulon Synth ATF (C D J K) 66.50/4L = $16.60perL
Valvo Synth ATF (D J K) 49.95/5L = $10.00perL
Transmax Z ATF (D only) 76.50/4L = $19.10perL

I use the Valvo because its well priced.

Any autobarn can do the Nulon synthetic for $50 if you ask. ;)

I would be flushing it all out personally.

Never done PS flush, Got any links or anything to a DIY?

Thanks guys i'll head done to a shop and get one of them!

nothing wrong with the 10dollar castrol power steering fluid been using it in my drift car for years and holds up well considering how hard racks are worked in a drift car.

dis connect lines from reservior drain it all oout and if you want it out of the rack disconnect lines on rack and turn wheel a few times will get it all out of rack aswell.

Are you running a PS cooler? I have seen way too many PS pumps fail at the track due to overheating, hence why I run synthetic fluid, in the hope it will protect better at high temps.

Which is the best among these two?

Dextron 3 trans

Shell SPIRAX S4 TXM

Dextron 3 is a fluid specification, not a brand.

yeah at the moment i have a cooler but even without cooler for 2years never had issues with pump still on my first one.

I use nulon stuff, bought 1l at supercheap and that was plenty for the whole system, no hicas and replaced my rack with a 33 rack. Also I used one that has a leak inhibitor in it, was around 10dollars

Hey guys I'm having trouble finding castrol tranmax z.

Is castrol transmax multivehicle suitable and a better option than castrol regular ATF Dex III

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
