Hi GT Content. What do you think about 2017 or 2018 GTR transmission？If I just keep engine power with stander，this transmission is this ok to use for track day and daily drive both？ Thank you.
Nice vid, I just diy'd this service last weekend. Very easy to do. I have some suggestions. #1 Use a different hand pump ($10) for your diff fluid from your transmission fluid (just my paranoia with mixing fluids in an expensive trans) . #2 Replace your fill bolts and crush washers, and use a torque wrench set at correct ft/lbs. #3 Most of my bolts holding the under panels were rusted, so I replaced them all, picked up painted carriage bolts from lowes for the panel under the transmission (M8x1.25 16mm long) diffuser took (M6x1 20mm long and M8x1.25 16mm) I used stainless steel bolts and make sure you pick up washers that have the same footprint as the oem. #4 the trans takes 7qts-8qts if its a drain and refill, no need to buy 10qts unless you are changing sump and line filters. I used jacks transmission fluid $28qt has extra detergents and the change intervals is changed from 18k to 25k.
J Low it’s not really for that your supposed to undo the fill first cause if you drain the diff and you can’t get the fill open you can’t refill the diff. and it drains better and faster if u open the fill first
@@donny303 doesn’t matter the age of the vehicle. It’s a PRO tip. You can damage a bolt or it was cross threaded. Either way always secure that you can fill it before emptying.
Ya. Fantastic video! Really excellent to see someone wrenching on a GT-R. Your presentation style is calm, your facts are well researched, your speculation is sensible... I can see this channel hitting the 100K subs with content like this.
ALWAYS confirm you can remove the fill bolt before you drain the fluid, this is more important on older vehicles regardless it's great to get in the habbit to perform such services.
Do you have any part numbers for the diff oil and trans oil? Also did you replace the washers on the diff plugs? I'm looking to do this flush on my 2014 and just want to make sure I get everything I need. Great vid!
I asked for this in your last maintanance video.and you delivered..Thanks man great job.almost time for my GTR fluid swap also .Thanks to you I will be able to do it now..Thanks you from one GTR owner to another..
When you are standing in front of the car, it looks like a tank compared to you. lol Love it! GTR for life and I want to personally thank you for helping me decide on the car I want to get as my next car. It will 100% be a 2013-16 GTR used... perfect for everything that I am looking for.
You have the best GT-R owner content by far. Keep the vids coming. I have been watching them like crazy because I have been thinking about trading my 700hp Camaro for a GT-R.
Again thank you. Not a lot of diyers in the gtr community. I will be attempting my first trans fluid change because or your thorough video. Very detailed i love it.
Brother I have to ask you something. Repairshops hype up the fact to take of the transmission shift board and clean it, would you recommend that...or in other words...have you ever done that on your GTR? Obviously your GTR is in super good running condition but you never did the mentioned, correct? You only changed the transmission fluid, am I right?
Ok just had this done and it did cost me a huge amount...just following up on how well the transmission fluid worked with your GT-R...thanks! Great video by the way
thanks for the vids man.without them i would have been stuck and it would have been a trip to the garage.these vids save me hundreds of pounds.only thing i would add is that i spoke to a chap at ian litchfields ,uk he said that you should change the pan filter and the inline filter everytime you change the trans oil.once you have done this then only the pan filter needs to be changed as the inline can be washed( if you get the right one). cheers
Thanks for the Video...I'm kind of deciding now, what I should buy as a first real performance car (I only have a JCW atm). The R35 always fascinated me, but I've heard horror stories from people who "know someone with a GT-R" that had to spend 3-4 grand just to get all the oils changed and that there was no possibility to do it on your own. Obviously that scared me out of the GTR, but this video made me interested again to look into the newer models with the new interior. Maybe I won't be buying a ZL1 after all...
That was an option for me as well, but doing all the fluid changes yourself really saves a buck along with getting to know your car firsthand :) besides gtr or go home
After using the Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-140 are you having any chatter? I've read on the GTRLIFE forum that it was recommended to use the Amsoil Slip Lock? By the way great video.
When switching to the Motul DCT fluid did you just drain the factory fluid (7qts) and fill the remainder with the Motul DCT? Any compatibility issues with the two different fluids mixing? Thanks
I just did my oil change, I run stage 1 trans. trans was done at 60k mark, now 82k, car sits from time to time.... had it for few years. I changed the oil and the oil looked pretty good, BUT nope, after changing it, the trans is even smoother! i dont even hear the trans shifting into first gear when coming to a stop like before and shifts are sooooo smooth. :) got 8qt of amazon - they had sale going oin $137 for 8qts of motul.
At what mileage are you changing out the trans and dif fluids? Awesome video by the way! Love how some people say it can only be done at a stealership... Looks to be like any other car with AWD, right? Just the extra steps of getting the proper level.
Nissan's recommended service interval for the GTR is as follows: 2009-2011: 18,000 miles (due to smaller tubing diameter) 2012+: 36,000 miles Yups, just make sure you have the right tools and it's pretty straightforward 😀.
Nice videos dude, I think i've watched almost everything you've put out. Side note, you don't have to hold down the start button, you can just push it once and it'll start up.
That was a great and very helpful video...I was a little nervous when i got my own GTR but i think you have helped me over come some of my fears... so now that you know how to change the the oil and transmission fluid when can i drop off my car...lol
How many miles were on the car before you did this? I just hit 10k on mine...I get on it from time to time and Ive had one track day with it(temperature never passed 210 during the event). Currently it seems to stay around 190-195 during daily driving at 90-95 degrees temp.
Hey I just did this fluid change on my 09 and I keep getting an engine system malfunction light so the code is PO447 and that’s evap system My gas cap was loose so I bought a new one and reset everything and I thought I fixed it ! Nope it came back but everything seemed to shift smoother..the problem initially was I floored it and it revved high in fourth gear and then that light popped up..after I switched the cap and reset it seemed to work but it came back...any help with this would be great ? Thanks
Hmmmm the Transmission, Front and Rear diff fluid locations look extremely similar to my 2009 Infiniti G37XS. I have a feeling these cars share alot of common parts
Just did this about a week ago. The front differential fill nut was a pain in the butt to remove...I did hear from other GTR members that the rear differential fluid amount changed to 1.3 L instead of 1.55L. But I also have been hearing that the factory is still putting 1.55 L when shipped to dealership. People said they are still finding 1.5 L or more when they drain their rear differential. I decided to fill mine like you did..hope it’s all good. But the car has been running great!
taegukgi510 Yes, mine has been doing great even though I didn't follow the 2012+ procedure. The idea is to just to fill adequately and thoroughly bleed the fluid and you should be fine. Car was able to do a 10.8 1/4 mile recently which is documented in my recent import Faceoff video.
Hi great video, will be attempting mine this weekend. Can I ask why you didn't change the two filters within the trans sump whilst changing the oil? Thank you.
You're welcome. There are some Grade A donkies making RUclips videos these days (I'm one of em, so don't count me out!). You are one of the few creators out there that is making high quality, professional content. Thank you for all your efforts. I really enjoyed watching and I must say you have a very nice GT-R! Awesome color and it looks like you do a good job of keeping her clean. That's what I like to see.
can you please tell me what weight and brand again the gear oil is? I'm seeing the Amsoil gear fluid online but it doesn't say diff fluid. thanks again
Hey man thanks a lot for your videos. I am considering a pre-owned Gt-R to purchase, but the only thing that concerns me is the warranty things- are these cars reliable over time when properly cared for, as opposed to let's say an M3, etc... Id assume they are since they are a nissan product but I never hear anyone discuss their reliability over time.. Wouldn't want to finance something that becomes a huge money pit after 50k miles on it.
I made a video on GTR maintenance costs: ruclips.net/video/gCCWg7MVyM8/видео.html You can daily drive a GTR because Nissan originally designed it to be the everyday supercar (dry, gravel, rain, snow). Just be aware that the more wear you put on the car, the sooner your maintenance intervals.
Really enjoy your video's you should do a transmission valve body clean it's quite easy and should be done every 3 years as build up stops the pistons traveling there full distance.
GT Content yeah it's straight forward and there's no good descriptive video on RUclips showing how to do it. It can also save big money on main deal or independent garage prices.
Only problem with changing from OEM fluids is the threat of being denied warranty claims down the road. I have heard Nissan is ruthless when it comes to claims. Great channel man. Subbed!
It's totally crazy that the description doesn't clearly list out the materials necessary like: - 10L of Motul xyz for transmission - 2x washer X - 1x washer Y - N liter of diff fluid Also, why not make this super simple and clarify. "The vehicle has 3 fill points, 1 diff at the front, 1 diff at the rear and 1 transmission".
A true rite of passage with DIY’ing a GT-R transmission service is to remove the oil pan and valve body. Clean valve body pistons/cylinders and change the line filter. Also, the shifting from 1st to 2nd is old CBA refill procedure. It was changed for DBA GT-Rs.
+GT-R Marine Yes, another method of doing it consists of what you mentioned which is more thorough. I discovered the DBA procedure after I made this video. My transmission shifts great doing it the way I did.
GT Content I also get 3 liters of diff oil when doing the service because I have found the front diff can hold around .8 liters and the rear around 1.5. So that comes out to around 2.2-2.3 liters required. One caveat is Nissan recommends to not fill the rear diff all of the way and only to about 1.3 liters. I have confirmed with a reputable GT-R tech however that filling the rear diff all of the way is fine and I haven’t had any issues in 37k miles.
my question is why are they so expensive more like why do they hold their values so well?, a 5+ year old gtr or older is almost just as expensive right now as when it got released with fairly high mileage? why is that? no one seems to talk about it? a c6 corvette is in the 25-35k range plus or minus 3-5k even though it started off as the same prices as the gtr's Is it a JDM thing? or a fan base thing?similar to how japan skylines are so much cheaper in japan but here they are well over 30k
+Mr. Avi It's a numbers game that consists of supply and demand and amount sold/rarity(?). C6's are great budget performance cars. GM is able to lower the price due to more of them being produced. Too much in the market drops used car pricing as there's a lot of options. This also includes the many trims that are made below the top model which may hurt sales also. Some rare ones may hold value(ZR1).

Yeah this guy is simple and to the point. No fukn around hes the best on utube
My mechanic told me that this is really expensive to service. Thank God for this video. Thumbs up as always
Thanks man!
Still cheaper than BMW M3/MB AMGs. I serviced those and drive self a gtr. I use BMW DCT oil FFL4 in my gearbox.
Hi GT Content.
What do you think about 2017 or 2018 GTR transmission？If I just keep engine power with stander，this transmission is this ok to use for track day and daily drive both？ Thank you.
if your thinking this you shoulnt own one buddy
It's not cheap, I'll yell you that.

Pro tip, always remove the fill plug first. Old oil is better than no oil.
Very true, although thats usually for older vehicles
I didn't know what you meant until I saw how hard it is to get to the fill plug. Great advise!
J Low it’s not really for that your supposed to undo the fill first cause if you drain the diff and you can’t get the fill open you can’t refill the diff. and it drains better and faster if u open the fill first

If this happens you can always fill via the shifter in a traditional manual.
Man a straight up channel with no bullish theatrics and who gives a shit fluff.
Just bought a 2010 about to do a diff,oil,& trans fluid change. Informative just subbed.
Do you have any part numbers for the diff oil and trans oil? Also did you replace the washers on the diff plugs? I'm looking to do this flush on my 2014 and just want to make sure I get everything I need. Great vid!
Thanks! I don't have part numbers. Pictures of the trans/diff fluid I used are on my Instagram. I didn't reuse the washers.
I asked for this in your last maintanance video.and you delivered..Thanks man great job.almost time for my GTR fluid swap also .Thanks to you I will be able to do it now..Thanks you from one GTR owner to another..
+eve williams You're welcome! Lmk if you have any questions.
Good video. Question though..how come you didn't replace the two filters in the transmission?
Wasn't necessary at the time. There's also no service interval for them.

I only changed the fluid. I can see the reasoning if there is sludge/buildup, but I didn't see anything of concern while doing it.
You deserve way more views than those "ooooo, aahhhh" reviewers with little to no substance
Thank you!
Ohh ok so does the transmission only require 7 quarts of fluid?
About 7. You'll have some left over .
Ok just had this done and it did cost me a huge amount...just following up on how well the transmission fluid worked with your GT-R...thanks! Great video by the way
Been doing great so far 🤞

Just curious, did you change the drain and fill plug washers? I heard that is something suggested.
It's suggested, but I didn't. I haven't noticed any leaks.
YEEESSSS finally a proper video
+stopherrr 😁
Thanks for the video. One thing I would say though is it's a good habit to remove the filler plug before drain plug.
How come you didn't change the trans filter?

Keep on please this video is clear n useful please do more
U deserve more subscribers
Thank you for all of your videos, this makes me feel better about my decision to soon purchase a used gtr.
Hi there as I saw in your video for the rear you are using 1L if I’m correct , is 1 liter enough for the rear differential?
Thank you 🙏🏻
I recall it being 1.2L.
You are the man..simplified what thought to be not recommended d.i.y..dream car..

How often do you change the transmission and differentials oil? And doesn't the transmission have a dip stick that accessible from the engine bay?

Hello I have a 2015 gtr, do you know if adding downpipe dumps that replace the resonator on my car will get rid of my catalytic converter?
There are aftermarket downpipes with optional cats and no cats.
GT Content oh okay gotcha! But would the dump tubes that run under my car delete the cats?
No. If it's a custom fabrication, you can run the dumps after the cats. I'd suggest that if you're running dumps, then there's no need to run cats.
How often do u change these fluids like every 5-10k? I know for most cars trans fluids and differential are rare to do. Long as its not low
18k for 2009-2011
36k for 2012+
Hmmmm the Transmission, Front and Rear diff fluid locations look extremely similar to my 2009 Infiniti G37XS. I have a feeling these cars share alot of common parts
Great video man! Keep them up! I also love how you go into such detail.
Thanks!
Just did this about a week ago.

Car was able to do a 10.8 1/4 mile recently which is documented in my recent import Faceoff video.
GT Content right on! My Motul differential (75W-140) oil was blue in color and thought it was very cool. Hahaha.
taegukgi510 😂
Is the gear oil weight 75w/140? Also how often do you change the transmission line filter? Thanks
Pictures at my Instagram. Line filter change has no specified mileage or timeframes. I'd suggest on your second change.
Great vid! This reminded me that I need to purchase some gear oil soon. 😎

Great video, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Subscribed!

There's no definite answer, so it's up to the owner.
@@GTContent thanks for reply, again great videos!
Hi GT Content, just curious on how has your car been performing with the Motul diff fluids after the change -
Drives great. No noticeable noises. Performance is on par when it was stock or better.

it will helps me out on future buddy, thnks for the in depth explanation on servicing.
Great vid! Plain old english,no shizzle. Thx 4 sharing bro.
Hey GT Content, where did you get your transmission oil and differential oil from? Greatly appreciated.
taegukgi510 Prices fluctuate, but at the time I actually found the best prices were on Ebay.
GT Content I see. Thank you again sir!!
Awesome video! now im able to change the fluid by myself, can you please post the link for your tools you used and also the fluid? thanks man!
When switching from Nissan OEM to another brand fluid- is it necessary to flush the old fluid out w/the ATF?
No
good chioce of oil.
but i would stick to amsoil. it last and it does it's job well.
most oem oil are semi synthetic oil.
And how can I change the oil gearbox filter? You need to replace the whole pan like in some ZF's?
i like this guy. good channel
+Jonathan Epstein Thanks!
Book marking all of these videos. down the road ill be swapping my HR 350z (2008) for a GTR.
Hey man..ur channel so underrated bcause it full of imformation to us.. While other video busy show off their car with no benefits at all
Thanks!
GT Content I want to ask you.. How much did gtr cost you each year and is it possible to drive daily?
I made a video on GTR maintenance costs: ruclips.net/video/gCCWg7MVyM8/видео.html
You can daily drive a GTR because Nissan originally designed it to be the everyday supercar (dry, gravel, rain, snow). Just be aware that the more wear you put on the car, the sooner your maintenance intervals.
GT Content thanks.
Hi, I'm about to buy a GTR and would like to ask you some questions? What year is the GTR that you have and how is the car? Thank you very much
Check out my channel for more of my GTR videos. To answer your question. 2013 and I'm enjoying the experience.
Amsoil is the goat of oils
Really enjoy your video's you should do a transmission valve body clean it's quite easy and should be done every 3 years as build up stops the pistons traveling there full distance.
Thanks! I'll look into doing it in the future.
GT Content yeah it's straight forward and there's no good descriptive video on RUclips showing how to do it. It can also save big money on main deal or independent garage prices.
So I read the rear diff is only filled to 1.3qt not until it overflows?
I really like this guy. Awesome video!
I love you!!! Thanks for this video! I’m gonna do mine on my own!
taegukgi510 You're welcome.
Only problem with changing from OEM fluids is the threat of being denied warranty claims down the road. I have heard Nissan is ruthless when it comes to claims. Great channel man. Subbed!
Thanks man!
Did you change the transmission oil filter? And also clean the transmission oil pan?
No.
Yes.
GT Content can u make a video for that? It’s important to change filters.
It's totally crazy that the description doesn't clearly list out the materials necessary like:
- 10L of Motul xyz for transmission
- 2x washer X
- 1x washer Y
- N liter of diff fluid
Also, why not make this super simple and clarify. "The vehicle has 3 fill points, 1 diff at the front, 1 diff at the rear and 1 transmission".
Lol @1:50 you make the car really look like Godzilla with that camera angle😹
😂
Good video. I always liked the GTR.
I have been using ams fluids and they're great.
How often or many miles before u change the front, rear diff and transmission fluids again
A true rite of passage with DIY’ing a GT-R transmission service is to remove the oil pan and valve body. Clean valve body pistons/cylinders and change the line filter. Also, the shifting from 1st to 2nd is old CBA refill procedure. It was changed for DBA GT-Rs.
+GT-R Marine Yes, another method of doing it consists of what you mentioned which is more thorough.
I discovered the DBA procedure after I made this video. My transmission shifts great doing it the way I did.
GT Content I also get 3 liters of diff oil when doing the service because I have found the front diff can hold around .8 liters and the rear around 1.5. So that comes out to around 2.2-2.3 liters required. One caveat is Nissan recommends to not fill the rear diff all of the way and only to about 1.3 liters. I have confirmed with a reputable GT-R tech however that filling the rear diff all of the way is fine and I haven’t had any issues in 37k miles.
+GT-R Marine Good to know.
Hey man it’s been like 3 years. Do you still recommend those types of fluids for the GTR?
Yes, they have worked fine for me.
Just found your channel,, here in the UK,, I've got 2 of these,, silver+black,,, man do they go through tyres,,,
Just did the diff on my CRV haha. How many miles on the gtr?
Aren't the two filters for the transmission changed ?
if you do your own fluid change does that void your warranty?
Everything Is simple when you know what to do
Have you ever replaced the trans filter. If so how many extra quarts of trans fluid do you need
+Z Bud Not yet.
Don't own one yet but this will be useful some day soon , subbed
Awesome dude thanks for sharing
Your channel is awesome
Thanks!
Are you aware that Motul DCTF is not 100% synthetic?
Can i have the list of oil for my 2013 gtr ? Is it the same? And what about the auto refill procedure.. u said it was different
Check my Instagram for photos.
my question is why are they so expensive more like why do they hold their values so well?, a 5+ year old gtr or older is almost just as expensive right now as when it got released with fairly high mileage? why is that? no one seems to talk about it? a c6 corvette is in the 25-35k range plus or minus 3-5k even though it started off as the same prices as the gtr's
Is it a JDM thing?
or a fan base thing?similar to how japan skylines are so much cheaper in japan but here they are well over 30k
+Mr. Avi It's a numbers game that consists of supply and demand and amount sold/rarity(?). C6's are great budget performance cars. GM is able to lower the price due to more of them being produced. Too much in the market drops used car pricing as there's a lot of options. This also includes the many trims that are made below the top model which may hurt sales also. Some rare ones may hold value(ZR1).
Informative as always!!
+Omerta Vyce Thanks!
Wait so u are telling me every gtr owner goes thru that end process. Is that 100% neccessary?
How high do you set your jackstands?
hey what adaptor did you use on the pump hose for the diff and trans?
Picked it up at harbor freight.
Have you replaced the filter of the transmission?
No
