I was just wondering if anyone happens to know how many quarts of ATF are supposed to be but in a tranny for an R32 Gtst. I already replaced it once, and guess i didn't get enough fluid in it (even though the dipstick said there was enough) because about a month or 2 later, the transmission was totally shot once again. I'm just wondering, because I'm running out of transmissions to put in it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a gear ratio difference between a tranny for a GTS and a GTS-t?

Thanks in advance.

I can't help much since your in japan but a respectable automatic transmission shop should be able to help, and I would say there are differences in GTS and GTS-T transmissions, how much extra power is being put through a turbo model compared to a non-turbo.

Yeah, that's part of the problem is that I don't speak very good Japanese, and we already did the swap, it seems to be running ok, but i know for a fact that i have too much fluid in it right now, and everywhere I have asked won't tell me, I had one guy tell me 13 quarts, which is like 12.5 liters, and i think that's way way too much, of course mines going to take more then if i was just changing the fluid, as the tranny was totally drained, including the torque converter. A friend of mine said that I might blow my seals with too much fluid in it, but I haven't had any problems so far, just that I checked the fluid, and it has too much in it. Last time I did the swap, I put 4 quarts in it, and the tranny was totally burned up withing a couple months. The only reason I had the spare auto-trannyt this time, is because I did an auto-manual conversion on my GTS-T, and had the auto from that. It seems like the GTS is a little more sluggish, and I figured that was because of the ratio difference, but the GTS is actually my wife's car, and she doesn't need a whole lot of power in the first place. If anyone knows an auto-tranny shop that could help, or knows how much ATF to put in the tranny, I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks again.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
