Before anyone flames me I've done a search but can't find a definitive thread.

Just bought my car and as I don't know state of fluids I want to change them all, hope you gurus can help.

Car: 2002 M35 250t, VQ25DET, 82 000kms

Engine Oil: 5W-40, fully synthetic of course, this thickness okay?

Transmission fluid: Nulon Multi-vehicle 100% Synthetic trans fluid?

Differentials: Nulon 100% as above? Someone said it works for everything...

Attessa (4wd system/Centre diff???): Nulon 100% as above? Someone said it works for everything...

Brakes: Super Dot 4

Radiator: Nulon red coolant???

Power steering: Regular power steering fluid?

Any fluids I've missed???

Thanks in advance

Id use green coolant not red.

the nulon synthetic trans fluid can be pretty much used everywhere. however, whatever you do ONLY put matic J or S in the transmission, or compatible fluids. if you put in matic D, it will cost you a transmission.

id use differential fluid in the diffs, if you have an LSD in the rear, use an LSD compatible fluid

Yes

Yes (although it is more the second number you need to concern yourself with. don't go higher then 40 on a VQ25det, they don't like it)

Yes

Yes

Put the rear end on jacks and turn one wheel. If the other wheel turns in the opposite direction you have an LSD.

Or just post your VIN (NM35-xxxxxx) and we can check on FAST

Generally only the cars with hicas 4 wheel steer had LSD diff.

May have changed with the later "P" series?

Mine has an LSD (along with HICAS), but the LSD option doesn't appear on FAST.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.
