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.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
