Glad you see value in a basic video like this one! If you haven't got your stickers yet, make sure to email me your mailing address at info@gofasthavefun
Anthony i always enjoy your videos. I have changed my rear diff, transmission, power steering & brake fluid every 30K miles on my 08 G35 automatic w sports package. It has 270K miles on it & still running perfect. Keep these videos coming Brother. Thank you !!
That's fantastic you've enjoyed so much mileage with the car! I should probably change out the power steering fluid and clutch fluid this year. I'm working on installing headers on the car but I'm breaking the components into smaller videos. So filming and editing in my spare time is taking a little while (just got the test pipes off and will remove the front O2's in the next few days). Did I send you some stickers yet? If not, you can email your mailing address to info@gofasthavefun.ca
Anthony, that was a great video for the novice learn from. I myself prefer using the Amsoil GL5 with LSD modifiers. Their Squeezable Soft Packs makes possible to fill the differential without the need of any pumps or hoses.
Great video, and very informative. I picked up some Amsoil Gear oil packets during their black Friday sale. Just waiting to get the car out of storage in order to change the fluid. My 03 currently has 141k KM, and I'm not sure if the first owner had it changed or not, so better safe than sorry.
Yup, doesn't hurt to change the diff fluid. If it's really bad in there, you might need to change it premature after a few months of driving to get all the old stuff out again.
I have to drive the car on the highway and see where my cruising RPMs are to make a final decision. Ultimately I'm building a touring car for highway cruising and mountain roads.
I think it's a good idea. I like the Z1 Motorsports differential cover because it still maintains that curve the factory one has. Gale Banks makes a great video why flat back diff covers aren't good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9-yG3D3JBRs.html You'll want to match it with a Bell Raceworks differential brace and Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. That'll make a nice street car with some sort of LSD. Also if you want some free stickers, feel free to email your mailing address to info@gofasthavefun.ca
How can I level the rear diff fluid correctly if I can jack up the rear side of the car only? (you know the car will be tilted and the rear diff level can't be done accurately...)
Use jack stands on the front and lift the rear and use jack stands. Do not get under the car using a jack alone, always have some sort of cribbing under the vehicle.
@@AnthonyJ350 All good man... i'd love to have one of these cars. If i didn't live in a climate full of snow i would have drastically different vehicles.
I found Redline works better for the car in the differential. Also MT transmission fluid designed for Nissan removed any notchiness in the transmission as well.
Wow I feel like I got mine change too late because before I even did get it change I hear humming on my rear end once a reach a certain mph like maybe around 40-50 then I feel vibrations, it gets worst on the freeway because it’s more of like a howling. Don’t really know what it could really be that’s what I’m told only from mechanics at my place.
@@AverageGamerJoe1 You're welcome. I do have a video coming up where I install a Bell Raceworks differential brace. Look up that product, it makes a huge difference.
@@AnthonyJ350 FSM doesn’t specifically require to use rear diff oil whether it’s LSD or not (R200 or R200V). Do I still need to use LSD rear diff oil for LSD rear diff? Or can I just use normal gl-5 ?
I don't drive the car too much, so every other year because it's to get at on the lift. You could change it every 40,000KM. If you're drifting or tracking I'd do it more often.
Your torque specs (25 ft-lb) are NOT correct. The correct specs directly from the Nissan Service Manual Pages MA-24 and MA-25 are (55 - 61 ft-lb) for both the DRAIN and FILL plugs on the DIFFERENTIAL. The torque specs for the for the 350Z manual TRANSMISSION are (22 - 29 ft-lb) for both the DRAIN and FILL plugs. I'm pointing this out not to be a jerk, but to give people the correct information. I've been doing track days for a long time and I have seen 350Z's leaking differential fluid and those people finding out that their differential plug magically disappeared. When speaking to them, their response was something along the lines of "Oh, I thought the torque specs were the same as the transmission." -Have fun, be safe
