Slightly off topic but kinda still on...

What do you guys use as far as the rest of the fluids? My M35 will be here soon and I plan on giving it a big service so I know where I'm at but just looking for advise as to what peopl run... Engine/Trans/Diff/Altessa?

Much thanks :)

Engine: Neo N-RPS-10w30 – 5L

GB: Nissan Matic-J or S

Altessa and Power steering: Nissan Matic-D

Diff: Neo Diff oil.....or the good Castrol stuff (If you have V-Hicas you will have a limited slip diff....make sure you use the correct LSD oil)

I do indeed have a V-Hicas, can I assume only the rear diff is an LSD? so 2 different oils will be required?

Also what is the transfer case Aaron spoke about? :)

the transfer case hangs off the Transmission and you'll see the front drive shaft going into it. It holds the clutch plates for the trans

its about half a litre of oil and doesnt take more than 20 minutes...

im using Red line Light weight shock proof for my rear LSD. some people dont like it. but it says its made for LSD as well, and I havnt had any problems at all. and its a group 5 oil. ive got it in the front diff too

Take a look at www.m35stagea.info in particular the thread below will have your answers.

You sure its the same filters as S15? GCC listing says its the same as a SR20DE, but theres a different filter listed for SR20DET?

SR20DE: http://www.gccorp.com.au/automotive/product_info.php?cPath=54_57&products_id=145

SR20DET: http://www.gccorp.com.au/automotive/product_info.php?cPath=54_57&products_id=144

I'm running the SR20DE at the moment.

If you are running the Nismo oil filter, it should state on the side of the box that it is used for M35 and S15 among others.

The engine list from your link

Seems you answered your own question??

Now I'm more confused... they both say SR20DET, just different models. Surely one SR20DET is the same as another? :s

Doesn't matter, my oil filter is right, so I'm all good! :thumbsup:

if they'd revised the sump design between the S14 and S15 they may have needed to use a different sized filter ;)

close, S14 and S15 engines are almost identical. the S13 and S13 FWD SR20 took different (and larger) filters.

i think i am going to go with

Castrol SLX Professional

Longlife III

Powerflow 5W-30

Its what my VW use on all their Golfs including the GTI and on all modern Audi's now too.. One oil is nice for both cars too means i can always use the excess :)

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
