I dropped and changed the oil in both diff's

the oil that came out was putrid and like it had turned to water. glad i did it.

also got scotty to make me up a new "pre throttle body" IC pipe (the one with the BOV attached to it.) Have a look. gonna get some 3m sticky heat shield and cover it up. should look good

Easy to drop the oil in the diffs?

Me thinks a Tutorial is a good idea :D

good idea. might write one up on the m35info forum if the mod's want?

took me 20 minutes each diff + the time it would take to take the tray(rock deflector thing) off the front

you need a 1mm Allen key 3 quarts of diff fluid - should take two and abit.

same as servicing the transfer case.. drain with bottom allen key bolt, close up. fill with top allen key bolt until it overflows. pretty simple honestly.

dont know if u notice a difference in drive, but gives you piece of mind knowing you've done it.

I think if you come from S.Africa, its called a Ellen key.... (saw it written on a S.Africans toolbox - lol)

Anyways Going to strip, clean, and re-set the Throttle body this weekend. Any tips?

I got the reset idle air volume instructions etc etc... anything else i should know, what to touch/ what not to touch?

also interested. i cleaned the visible part last night. now warm idle is 750ish RPM

oops.

can it be reset?

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

Edited by iamhe77

650 +/- 50rpm is factory spec, so 750 shouldn't be an issue.

Mine idles 550-650 (500 when hot). No issues at all.

Guess it just comes down to how comfortable you are with it.

yeh. if i come accross a second hand one, i'l grab it and fix it. but i think it will be on the 'when i can be bothered' list

why not clean and re-set the idle...?

Nothing to stretch in there - its only cogs/motors/sensors afaik

mine is about 750 at the moment in N or P, about 700 in D.

Did the other shopping trolly (that has done 175k Kms) today, cleaned TB and MAF, good result -idles much smoother now :thumbsup:

Cam had one that wouldn't set the idle after cleaning. Mine is the same. I don't mind an 800rev idle in drive though.

Mine may not set the idle any more due to the engine light being on and the ecu in fault. It will drop the revs after the learn but the next time I start it the idle has raised again.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
