Ok. I've done a bit of research in to this of late.

Whats the box doing? If its 100% like brand new, just put the oil nissan recomends in there.

If it is crunching however, then go for a thinner oil, or a 'technically' thinner oil.

The shockproof stuff is technically thinner. The lightweight being somewhere between a normal thin oil, and autobox oil. The superlight weight is the equivlant to autobox oil. By putting a thinner oil in it frees everything up a bit more. This is why people say it would feel like a new box, as the is so damn bloody thin. Ditto (or so I have been told) with racing, they will occasionally use a thinner oil so they can change gears faster.

If you dont want to spend $150 or whatever it is for the redline stuff in the HOPE that it works. Do what Im going to do, put auto oil in, if that works then the redline stuff should to.

But yeah, you know for sure the box is good, no need for fancy stuff.

Redline Shockproof Lightweight is thick as buggery.

If you have it handy, get out the Redline oil manual thing. It might be thick but because of all the additives in it, its effectivly a lot thinner. It even says so in their book. The superlight weight it says something along the lines of 'equvielent of auto transmition oil/fuild). Id take a guess and say some of that additive stuff would have the same effect, but maybe not as good.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
