R32 GTR Fluid compartment list

[91GTRR32]

So gents and gents, quick Q.. Changing my clutch tomorrow and ive decided on 4.0L's of redline heavy GEAR OIL, 75w90. I was having a complication with the guy on the phone, he was confused i was putting gear oil for transmission fluid. Am i right that im going to put 75w90 of redline heavy shockproof GEAR OIL into the tranny?

He confused me and made me think they are different.. Is there any difference?

[Xeno-Vibe]

I wonder if RP will eventually make windshield washer fluid and anti freeze? :P

[91GTRR32]

I heard putting in 5.5L of engine oil in and then putting in an extra 0.5L of GM engine oil supplement aka GM EOS, is good because of the zinc additive

Heres a list a buddy of mine gave me for fluids, lemme know what yall think:

Royal purple 75w90 for diffs - 1.1L front and 2.2L rear.
Engine oil 10w30 synthetic, 5.5L
Mix with engine oil ---> GM EOS (Engine oil supplement) 0.5L
Redline heavy shockproof transmission oil for the tranny

thats all, the rest of the fluids ill just take from whatever others are saying

[menace]

is this accurate? 5.3 Liters of engine oil?

It depends on the size of oil filter you use, I picked up 2 very different sized ones. Also, things like oil coolers and extended oil pans need to be considered.

I don't think I put in quite that much in my r32. Not running an oil cooler or filter relocate and have the larger of the 2 filters on now. I believe I got a bit under 5 bottles in there. Topped it off slowly, started it for a bit, topped it off again.

I searched around and gathered some information on fluid capacities and such for the GTR. Thought it would be good to add to the sticky. correct me if im wrong. I'm not 100% sure of them.

1. Engine Oil 5.3L

2. Power Steering w/hicas 2L (enough for flush and bleed)

3. Transmission 4.1L

4. Transfer case 1.8L

5. Atessa 2L (enough for flush and bleed)

6. Front Differential 1L

7. Rear Differential 1.5L


PS.
Many people recommend running the Nissan PS fluid for the Atessa System. The Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special has part number 10130-89901A and they are sold in 1L containers.

It should say on the bottle:

10130-89901A
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Special Blend
Matic - D

is this accurate? 5.3 Liters of engine oil?

I looked all over the GTA and could not find them. I did find posts of people saying they use the 75w90 stuff for both their diffs. I have also seen threads where people say that its better if you drive your car really hard.

I went with the Royal Purple 75w90 MAX GEAR from JRP, which is a bit on the expensive side, about 30% more then the you're going to pay for RP at one of those I might get stabbed here kind of shops in Toronto. The type that seem that have nothing but CF and CF Kevlar hooded Civics and CRX's parked all around and are in some out of the way body dump industrial area.

Hello All,

Can someone point me in the right direction? I went to JRP and called around for the diff fluids but no luck.

Front Differential - 85W90
Rear Differential - 80W90

Can someone recommended brands / shops that carries the above? I want to get the diffs done prior to storage.

Thanks in advance!

im using royal purple in my tranny....works great..very smooth

[krarks]

^ That makes perfect sense. I bet even running a synthetic ATF through the ATTESA would eliminate any issue cause I have a feeling that's all that "Special" fluid is.

I'm not sure if that part number is the same as the actual "Nissan Power steering Fluid Special" referred to in the manual. I only found that p/n in a thread on skylineaustralia, and the guys said:

Black squarish bottle - white sticker usual red/blue stripes - says:

Nissan
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Special Blend
Matic-D

Part number on the invoice is the number in my last post. Bottle also mentions to use it as power steering fluid for R32 GTR.

They told me that this is the stuff to use for the HICAS reservoir.

And this is what the bottle looks/looked like:


This is why I'm skeptical, since the manual says to use different fluids between HICAS and ATESSA, and this Nissan bottle says its for HICAS.


According to this: http://www.nissan-sp.co.jp/oil/

◆ E-TS fluid
[E-TS only fluid car]
* E-TS · · · electronic Torukusupurittoshisutemu

Packing Part number Suggested retail price
(Tax included)
1L KLF30-00001 992 yen
4L KLF30-00004 3,969 yen

From what I've read it would appear that the difference with this "Special" PS fluid is it's viscosity at lower temperatures (as in it was taking into account that the car would see winters and snow). So if you only use your car in the summer (I think this is the case for most people here), then ATF/Dextron III shouldn't be an issue in the ATESSA reservoir.

[-Skyline-GTR-]

For the front and rear diff if it's only summer driven wouldn't a 75/90 synthetic be ok?

[Prophetic]

I'm aware this is super old and I'm sorry for bumping it but is

Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special: KLF30-00001

what I should use for a GTS-t?

And if not what? Any power steering fluid fine as long as I completely flush the system first?

Obviously i mean for my power steering, not attessa.

EDIT: Wow just realized this is in the gtr section. I fail.

Sorry!

Well I did a little bit of searching...

8. Atessa AWD fluid - (Nissan Power Steering Fluid or dextron 3)

Nope, I did a massive amount of searching, and I've actually pulled fluids from the transfer case ("Matic D") and ATTESSA tank, and they are completely different!

"Matic D" or Dextron III is far too thick for the ATTESSA system, it is a very syrupy fluid, where the ATTESSA fluid is very water-like. (I can upload a video, if anyone is interested...)

Nissan themselves warn against using viscous fluids in the ATTESSA system, as it will dramatically increase the latency of the system, which could be very problematic.

If you can't find the "Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special: KLF30-00001" (which is very likely!), then a cold-weather power steering fluid would probably be the best alternate, but be sure to completely purge the system of the old fluid.


Dat's it!

[NismoS-tune]

If I recall, the atessa fluid is Nissan automatic D or ATF.

As for the gear box, I only use AMSoil and it works fine, no noise great feel, 5 years now on the same oil (until last september that is)..

[PL_GTR]

Anyone use Royal purple for the tranny oil change and could a nissan dealership have the attessa fluid?
