Well its taken me hours to do this but here for those wanting to self service..

2 more goals i want for this potential sticky is

- DIY link for each thing - I have most, i will put in later

- Who in each city; 1. knows the V35, 350Z, 2. does not rape you on price when you provide the materials...

Alot of us know how to do it, but need a qualified mech to sign off our extended warranty cards..

So yes you can search, but who has hours to read through the whole forum. I had to, here is what i found. Much easier for people when all info is in one place

Fluids: 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 quart = .98L

Brake fluid:

Brand: Penrite SIN 600 (super DOT 4), Motul RBF 600* (DOT 5).

Amount: 1 quart, more if you keep getting air in the lines

Replace: Every 2 years if normal driving, if track or hard driving then every year (higher humidity = change no longer than a year)

* DOT 5 means you CANT mix with old fluid, you have to completely flush out old fluid.

Clutch fluid:

Brand: Penrite SIN 600, Motul RBF 600

Amount: 1 quart

Replace: Same as you break fluid

Engine Oil:

Brand: Mobil 1 5W-30, Mobil 1 5W-30 EP*, Mobil 1 5W-30 HM**, Mobil 1 5W-30 ESP***

Amount: 5-6 quarts, get 6 to be safe – you will always be able to use it for next change, top up.

Replace: Mobil 1 is good for up to 15,000miles/24,000kms but i would do it every 6-9000miles/10-15,000kms

*EP = Extended Performance (better protection, longer service interval than standard)

**HM = High Mileage Vehicle (for cars with engine 75,000miles/120,000km or more)

***ESP=Emission System Protection (for Euro cars, 2008+ with strict cats regulation)

Oil filter:

Brand: Nissan OEM or Mobil EP M1-108

Replace: Same time as oil

Power Steering Oil: Dexron III Compatible

Brand: Mobil ATF or Mobil 1 ATF (can't tell difference with Synthetic so non Mobil 1 is fine)

Amount: 1 quart will do 3 flush/top ups. Full system if drained needs 1.5 quarts

Replace: No set time frame but once a year, its cheap and prevention is always better than fixing.

Gearbox Oil: API GL-4

Brand: Redline MT-90 (75W-90) GL-4

Amount: 4 quarts

Replace: If you have owned the car and know you have used good oil then every 30,000miles/48,000kms. Otherwise do it sooner if you dont know the history or you feel problems with transmission.

Diff Oil: SVG GL-5

Brand: Redline Gear Oil (75W-90) GL-5

Amount: 1 quart

Replace: If you have owned the car and know you have used good oil then every 50,000miles/80,000kms. If you use good synthetic oil (Redline, M1) then it can go longer.

Spark Plugs:

Brand: NKG Iridium IX - #4469 LFR5AIX-11

Amount: 6x

Replace: Every 60,000miles/100,000kms or sooner if you inspect them and they are full of carbon, oil in cylinder, 2mm gap etc..

Battery: 400-420 CCA

Brand: Optima deep cycle AGM, any really

Replace: When it dies! Or early signs like struggling to start after car sat with ACC and lights on without motor running for only short period of time

The above is just advice, info i have pulled from everywhere so it's your own risk by not looking into it more in depth.

Cheap places to buy:

Oils: http://gllubricants.com/

Spark plugs: http://stores.ebay.com/autodinamics

Oils & Sparkplugs: http://www.performan...b.com/index.htm (not cheaper than the 2 above but they have both items.

Goldcoast

Nerang

Goldcoast Mobil Auto Care 5502 2000 $65 for oil filter and oil change (when materials are provided). This is also to check for other items in 30,000k service but price reflects that all checks do not need to be corrected. I called about 6 places and most were $170+ ... Will use this guy (Brett) and report how things went.

Also, if you can show your thank by clicking on green + and not making a post (unless it has other DIY or good well priced mechanics that would be great).

Can a MOD sticky this? Thanks :)

from another member: newv35owner that i summarized

CVT Oil

Nissan KTF fluid KLE51-00004.

Amt: 8L

Replace: Every 100,000 or some so 80-90,000

From: www.cvt.co.nz.

Note: Do NOT use Nissan NS-2 fluid which may be suggested. CVT in the V35 is the Extroid which is different from Maxima that uses NS-2.

Price: Via NZ $1,222.31 AUD (8 litres), o-ring and gasket, and the instructions on how to complete the transmission service delivered.

5% duty and 10% gst to Australian Customs when importing into Australia. This brings the total to $1,493.04 to have the fluids, parts and instructions delivered.

Just a question in reagrds to the spark plugs

NGK in NZ recommends a different type of plug compared to what is recommended here.

It may be different with the VQ30DD vs the VQ35DE

Here you recommend the LFR5AIX-11 while the NGK site recommends for the VQ30DD a LFR5AQP

The big difference is the price the one you recommend is $9 each and the one NGK say to use it $50 each

Any advice would be appericated as here in NZ Skylines Downunder don't have much to do with the V35 series

The fuel filter is intergrated into the fuel pump, inside the tank, I believe it can be replaced but it isn't an easy job, or a safe job for that matter. I don't know any part numbers.

The ryco page is wrong, I have raised it with them before, but they haven't done anything about it.

Look up the 350z if you want the correct oil filter type.

Z445

But the Z547 will also fit and is 20mm longer.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
