There's a few different types of Redline g'box oils, Shockproof Lightweight is probably the best option for the R33 GTS25t g'box.

Redline gear lubricants

For a full rundown have a read here - www.redlineoil.com

The Aussie site isn't much good but here it is www.redlineoil.com.au

Is any one using the redline oil, what benefits did it give over stock type oil??

Whats it worth??

I have had it in for a few weeks now, heaps better than the previous oil. my 'box used to crunch shift from 3rd to 4th under load, it has cleared that right up. Everyone who has used it seems to swear by the stuff, only complaints I have heard is from people who have used the really lightweight stuff

Also says on the container that its good for 400,000kms, so the price tag of jsut under $100 is well worth it IMO. Only need one container, and oyu will have a little bit left over from 1 Gallon

VMX80 is "NO WHERE NEAR" as good as Shockproof. I've used VMX80 , Motul and Redline in my g'box and the Redline is so much better than the others it's not funny! $100-120 isn't "that" much to spend, it's not like you have to change it every 5000km (although I usually do). Most people blow $100 on a night out.

Edit: Oops forgot to add... yes, Castrol VMX80 will be ok.

I have been running lightweight shockproof oil for a year now and it is bloody fantastic. Last I paid for a 4lt container was about $130 - and I change it every 10,000km. It completely eliminates the old S15 box problem of clunking/sticking from 1st to 2nd gear change at high revs. Highly recommended. Last I bought it from the rally shop on Magill road (might be the place Matt is referring to).

Yeah that's the one Andrew. I use to pay $103 for it from PPG ~3yrs ago.

Happy b'day too dude. You're almost as old as me, in another couple of years you'll BE the same age as me (I've stopped having b'days so I don't get any older) :P

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
