post-68037-1281385367_thumb.jpgHi there all,

Please could anyone help me out with the following translation of a sticker on the bonnet. I gather that it is to do with the engine oil grade and duration of service intervals but i would really like to know exactly what they are informing us about the oils.

Thanks Richard

First row: every 12 month or 15000km need to change engine oil. perfer to SG, SH and SJ level. (I always use SM level which is the highest for normal use.)

Second row: I GUESS, transmaction oil, must use the NISSAN Matic-J. DONOT use NISSAN Matic-D.

Third row: No idea.

Hi there Frank,

Thanks for the reply, it's always great to get confirmation on issues concerning our motorvehicles. With your SM api grade oil is it a mineral,semi-syn or fully-syn? How strongly do you feel on your guess about the second row of your translation about the ATF oil as in my hand book which has been translated ,by jpnz manuals, they say i should use Nissan matic D. If you could confirm this then i would appreciate it as now i'm a bit confused.

To all our fellow V35 Driver's,

If you have a 250GT Auto what are you using, i would really appreciate your advice.

Cheers Richard

Hey Richard, I think there's been quite a bit of discussion on the oil and fluids we need to use for the v35. Of the back of my head, I think i read that a vq35 engines use matic J and vq25 uses matic D. I could be mistaken, so best have a check around the forum. I am sure there's a thread about it! Hope this help!

Hi All,

I don't mean to be repeating threads here it's just that my side of the world you don't get much of a variety so one really needs to be on the ball, eg if my car needs matic j then the closest i can get is Dia queen sp III from the mitshie guys but if it needs matic d then nissan has some which hopefully hasn't expired as the one lady said when she started there see found it in stock and has never seen it move and thats plus five years back. Our auto shops don't even stock semi or full syn oils i can only get that stuff from agents like mitshie and benz.Nissan here don't even use semi syn just multi grade 20w 50.

Anyway i'll search the forum to see what i can find thanks all,

Cheers Richard

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
