I have conflicting information collected from different threads for

an M35 stagea automatic 2002 model series 1 turbo.

Do front and back diff use different weight oils?

One thread says the transmissions fluid is sealed ad shouldn't have the oil changed , but many seem to be changing the transmission oil.

Is Matic j ok ? is matic S ok ? for automatic transmission

Are the details/collected comments below accurate, as service will occur later today

75w90 for the diffs - 3 litres

Transfer case is same atf as gearbox and steering

Matic J Synthetic for the Auto and transfer,

75w90 GL4 front diff and 80w90 LSD GL5 for

the rear diff

Nissan Have discontinued Matic J fluid and

recommend using matic S now. Takes 6-7Quarts

The 3 x 1L for the diffs and ~10L for the auto

with a flush was spot on

For a full flush - around 10L (give or take a few hundred ml)

Fill from empty = 8.3L (from memory)

Z436 ryco oil filter

Engine oil is the same for both, 10w40 to be best

Auto - yep, Matic J (or Nulon 100% synthetic ATF). Full oil flush is just over 10L Nissan tell me. From empty to full should be around the 8.5L mark

Coolant - whatever does the job. Nissan's coolant is good I have heard but I have Holden coolant in mine as Race radiators recommended it (custom radiator)

Power Steering - Matic D or compatible fluids (again, Nulon 100% synthetic ATF is fantastic)

ATTESSA - same as power steering

Does the turbo use the oil from the engine?

My owners manual states 10,000km oil change but it also states replacing the timing belt every 100,000k. I have been told I dont have a belt . Its a timing chain which isn't replaced. There are other minor errors so I want to check evrything

Anyone know what the volume of a standard cooling system is?

Would it be fair to say a 32mm twin pass rad will hold twice what a 16mm single pass will?

It may well but the rest of the system - block, heater core etc will be the same as before.

That's what I figured. So capacity should be slightly more than it was. Cheers.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
