Hi all,

I'm getting a new clutch put in next week and was thinking to change out the gearbox and transfer case fluids while I'm at it.

I've read mixed responses on various posts about Castrol Transmax Z being used in the just the gearbox, some say just the transfer case and some say both.

Can anyone confirm which is correct?

Also, i anyone can let me know how much fluid the transfer case and the gearbox take that would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

I don't know if transmax is the correct gearbox fluid for an R34, but I do know that it does not run gearbox oil in the gearbox so it may be ok.

The xfer case takes 1.8 litres

Thanks guys. Yep the R34 getrag definitely uses atf and I'm pretty sure that the transmax is a good substitute for the gearbox (from what I've read on the forums). I've heard it will take anywhere between 5-7L but since I have a 5L bottle sitting at home wasn't sure whether I should pick up another one for the mechanic in case they run short. Also not sure whether it can also be used for the transfer case because if so another bottle should just about cover the two.

Thanks

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
