and what happen if we bring our car to track with OEM mtf ...any bad to the gearbox? better change to motul before hand?

nope....I use oem oil for track and it work fine......

should i change it after a track day?

Depends....if you dun track really hard or just once....not necessery....but you can always change it.....as it does no harm to ur car

aslong as it has VTECCCCCCCCCCCC!!! is great!

this might be a stupid question, but was the dc5r available for sale in australia or are all these cars imported from japan privately?

They were a full local release though the Honda dealer netowrk. We did get a different car to the JDM spec though. Plenty of info around on what we missed out on.

So happened?

I have used Redline light weight shock proof (not super light as that breaks down really easily) and I have gone through 3 track days and it was still going strong.

1st track day it was wet and I was taking it easy and there was no crunching.

2nd track day was dry and I did get crunching in which I suspected it was the oil.

3rd track day I got a harness and there was completely no crunching at all. The harness basically kept me in place and allowed me to shift properly.

Morale of the lesson is that it might not be your oil and it maybe the way YOU ARE SHIFTING.

And yes the redline totally got rid of the random 2nd gear crunching.

btw good luck looking for your dc5r! lol

Also tried Royal purple and from my exp it crunches and the 2nd gear random crunching came back! grrr

Atm I am trying Motul's Gear300 and so far so good.

Yes well I was under the impression that it may have be "HOW I WAS SHIFTING", but i questioned my mechanic, and the person that rebuilt the box, and they said that they have have bad experiances with that particular gearbox oil.

Oh you have re-built your geabox. Did you replace the faulty sycrnos?

How much the re-rebuilt cost you?
