I won't mention this may have been discussed here in the last 20 years.

What use is your car, just regular street driving? Does your gearbox work well or crunch a bit on quick shifts? Are the gearbox and diff standard and original?

Hi.

New to the GT-R Skyline game so i would be happy to hear tips from you guys with experience. First of all, the oil game. What is recommended/what works? Its for diff and gearbox

For a transmission pick a GL4 75W-90 with synchromesh additives. For the differentials pick a GL5 75W-90, for the rear diff you will need one with additives for limited slip. For the front you can get away with using a gear oil with LSD additive but if you can find one without it the diff should live a longer life. I recommend doing some research with your favorite search engine if you need a more comprehensive answer than that.

Yeah, if you have a WRX...

75w-140 if you give a shit about your diff.

As Duncan said I think we've gone into detail about this more than once

For 5 Speed gearbox . Generally what people settle on if the box is in mostly good condition is Redline Shockproof Lite, the blue stuff.    Often confused with Heavy.

If the gearbox is in bad condition or shifts very harsh, Redline shockproof heavy, the red stuff.  For many has shown to give some improvement in the interim until overhaul
 
Motul Gear300 is also an oil that is popular among many GTR 5 speeds

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
