ok sounds like a dumb question, but what is the going opinion on gearbox oils for a GTR R32 as I have a slight syncro noise on 4th, and was hoping that a better (read more suited to GTR) oil would be the go?

while we are at it GTR power steering fluid? factory only?

I put Redline MTL in my SR20 box and it quietened it upa dn made it shift smoother, I have no idea wether this oil is suited to a GTR< but something of similar qulaity would be good, (it cost me $100 for the oil in the sr box).

got the redline oils from coventrys in mascot.... they have moved to william lane and are tricky to get to, and have all the good stuff for GTRs with the lightweight gearbox oil for $99 the diff 80-140 recommended for $94 and the water wetter for cooler radiators for $20....

so a lot of cash, but will be worth it in the long run!!!

I used castrol vmx80 for my gearbox.

Fixed up my 4th and 5th notchy gearing problem.

Cost - $29.95 4 litres (which was just enough)

Also I used the castrol LSD oils for my front and rear diffs

$ 32.95 for 4 litres with 1 litre spare

I'm very happy with this particular service

so does anyone else run out of gear box oil for the R32? I havent done it yet as the car is still getting the aircon done! 3 days later.... as a side note what will I be up for, for a aircon compressor when they finally tell me! grrrr.... hard not having the car!

DAN00H did you manage to get a full gearbox with the redline?

What do you mean "run out of gear box oil"?

I replaced the gearbox oil in my R32 GT-R a couple of weeks ago with Redline Lightweight Shockproof. I needed about 4.3lts all up: luckily I bought an extra 2 pint bottle (or whatever it is) as it was a three hour round trip to the closest Redline stockist :D

LW.

ok thats what I meant by run out... i.e. I didnt know it was going to need more than the 1 bottle! ouch more expense!!!.... luckily the redline place is not far in mascot....all though I am sure I got the last big bottle! do they make a smaller one also?

cheers.....

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
