HAMLNJ Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi guys, I have always had my servicing done by a local garage and maintained the service history. However, this year I have decided to do some work my self, learn as I go and have a little pride that I put in some tlc. With a massive help from ewen at clark motor sport I have everything thing I need to carry out the following. Engine oil and filter change Diff oil change Gear box oil change with molyslip (which I don't know how to apply the molyslip if I'm honest) New discs and pads. Tein springs Spacers Removing my cracked decats and replacing my normal cats, Confident with most of above, but could anyone drop some quick tips on diff oil and gear box oil change, I have bought a syringe. Discs and pads, done them before nut again any quick tips. After searching it all seems simple. Tein springs, I'm going to take the struts out and them a garage to swap these. Spacers, easy. Cats, can I un bolt and push the y pipe back. Pop them out and slip the old ones on? Just trying to do some homework before I'm left working on a car util very late. Its 55 plate, 112k miles on the clock. I'm am searching but getting something's and not others. :-) also if anyone is near cheddar and fancy helping out for a laugh your welcome! Cheers everyone!

RobPhoboS Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Look at the guides and the US forums (my350z.com is good), they also have guides. Also YouTube, try z33 not just 350z. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearbox and Diff oil change is straight forward. Firstly make sure that the filling plugs on both the gearbox and diff will undo the last thing you want to find is that you have drained the fluid only to realise you can not undo the filling plug. Put the Molly slip directly into the gearbox before adding the oil. The gearbox filling is a little tricky even with a syringe due to lack of access just fill with oil till it seeps out of the plug hole. dont forget to replace the drain plug before refilling.

HAMLNJ Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Finished the work, love to put some photos up but only have 35kb uploads? Anyway, managed to get the new springs on, discs, pads, oil change and filter. Took all day.... and without a ramp and some professional friends I would of be stuffed.
