G'day guys,

Just purchased a 32GTR, it has some basic oil restriction mods and other power mods. It's on 143km's.
I'm looking to refresh all the fluids before I drop it in for a tune at the end of the month. 
There's a lot of info online about this topic but a lot of it is historical(up to 15 years old). There aren't any recent posts(that i can find) that address the topic.

My research has lead me to pick these fluids :

Gearbox oil: Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear oil  - 4.5 L

Front diff : Redline Lightweight Shockproof Gear Oil - 1L

Rear diff: Not sure??

Brake fluid: Nulon xtreme performance gear oil. dot 4

Power steering fluid : Castrol DEX III Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 Litre

Transfer case : Nissan Matic D transmission fluid

Engine oil: Not sure??

Don't put Shockproof in anything unless you need it because of crunchy selectors. For f**k's sake, don't put it in the front diff. Use diff oils in diffs. A good LSD oil for the rear, a normal (non-LSD) diff oil for the front, unless it has had an LSD centre put in it.

Thanks for the replies guys! think i figured it out.

if you got gearbox selector issues - shock proof aka -  smurfs blood 

Down load the penrite app and use the recommended oils 

Good old australian made stuff 

I'm a bit concerned that they recommend the same oil for front and rear diff when a lot of people online say don't use the same oil(due to lsd and non lsd)

Decided to shockproof heavy the gearbox. But not the diff
 

There is no reason to use shockproof in a healthy gearbox ever. Absolutely none. A 75w - 85 GL-4 provides the smoothest shifts with the brass synchros. Even GL-5 at 75w-90 is noticeably worse in the upper rev range shifting. Shockproof is gummy crap that sticks to everything and if you've ever pulled a box down you'd never recommend it. It masks synchronisation wear and is about the same result as using a normal oil and adding a shift additive like that Nulon or Penrite smooth shift crap - the oil becomes a paste.

LSD or not the LSD oil is fine for the open fron diff, it's just not required, but the best synthetic heavier weight oils are mostly LSD oils by design though. As I've said repeatedly in the paat the stock front diff oil weight is retarded - way too light, so use an 80 or 90 weight oil in front diff at your own risk. 75w-140 in both front and rear if you want to retain healthy crown wheel and pinions on you GTR diffs is the go.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
