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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
