Very old used M35!!!

dlin4229 · 2019-08-03T00:26:32+08:00

I think this guy really loves his Fuga(M35). This car is just like my wife's M35X but my wife's M also comes with a newer engine(VQ35HR) plus AWD... By the way my wife says that she still loves its exterior and interior even though it's very old now. (This generation M began at late 2004!!! It's around 15 years ago... )

I think I will not follow the maintenance schedule below for my son's G35S...

--- 2007 G35S (200K kms) ---
K&N filter wash: 60K km
AT Fluid flush(10 qt): 50K km
Rear differential: 50K km
Spark plugs: 100K km

This car is already 14.5 year old now. I think my son should change his car when it reaches 20 years for safety reasons. (The newer cars should have better crash rating)

This car is still extremely reliable. So, if I keep following the maintenance schedule now, it will be NEVER broken!!! 笑到噴淚

My son will graduate next year... Let him decide by himself what he wants to do about his old Nissan...

(Last time I asked him and he said he wanted to keep his old Nissan as long as possible)

OMG!!! The OEM seat filter for my wife's M35X is very expensive...

(I never changed them in the past. So I decide to change them now)

OEM (about USD130)

non-OEM (about USD20)

Not sure why the OEM filter is so expensive. It's just a simple filter. Of course, I go non-OEM filters. I also need two of them...

I also checked seat filters for my GSF... Guess what... There is NO seat filter in my GSF!!! 點點點

(cost cutting???)

However, LS does have seat filters...(maybe GS is not as premium as LS

) and the price is surprisingly cheap!!!

LS OEM seat filter (about USD16)

Actually Lexus's parts are quite cheap... Again, surprisingly!!!

Infiniti parts are already cheaper than many European cars but Lexus parts are even cheaper... Actually, MUCH CHEAPER!!!

The below is the spark plugs for my son's G35S... (can also be used in M35X)

I purchased them 2 years ago but hesitated to install them in G35S... Why??? That's because I bought them from eBay and was afraid that those cheap plugs could be God damn China fake parts!!!

However, after I have spent quite some time in checking them closely... (did a lot of researches on internet and youtube), I think those parts from eBay should be genuine Nissan parts...

But, I won't take any risk. So, I decide to change only ONE plug at first to see if everything is OK...

I had changed spark plugs for G35S once. And, those plugs were also bought from eBay and cheap...

After 100K kms usage I think those plugs should not be fake... (I was lucky

)

I think I better be more careful when buying these auto parts from Internet. I may not be so lucky next time!!!

我看：22401-EW61C
等於 DENSO FXE22HR11
多年以來，NISSAN 多用NGK 火星塞，不知為何在新款的2.5 和後來的VQ 引擎上改用DENSO牌的銥-鉑金火星塞?
NGK 也有製作銥-白金火星塞，價格因素，還是品質因素？
Denso 是豐田集團的公司，多年來TOYOTA是NISSAN 心中最大的目標敵手，二十多年一直還勝不了，還差距越來越大。
7年前，於是NGK 發展出RX ，Ruthenium 釕合金，略勝於IRIDIUM-P,
https://ngksparkplugs.com.tw/product/Premium%20RX釕合金火星塞
裡面有多款勝過銥合金火星塞的測試數據，你可以考慮，進去NGK網站研究，我不在此浪費版面。

在美國網上，改名NGK HX

而RX 恐怕也遭CHINA FAKE , 大陸網站裡，先自稱『拆車火花塞』，可是圖片是白白亮亮的全新RX火花塞圖片，便宜很多

I just changed the differential fluid for my GSF...

It's not difficult but definitely more difficult than my wife's M35X...

Why??? That's because my GSF is a PERFORMANCE car... There are a lot more complicate and stuff such as wires, braces, in the rear end.

I had to used many kinds of socket extenders to get around those additional stuff and get the job done.

Excellent information. Thank you very much!!! 拇指向上

This forum really needs more information like this.

I'm only a software developer, not a professional mechanic engineer. So, there are A LOT OF unknown about these cars for me. I'm still learning...

Actually I've only done the differential oil replacement. I still have to do rear right and rear left transfer fluid changes for my GSF...

But, I'm old now. (cannot do all of them in one day

) So, I will do them another day...

You may not know... I would like to mention that actually DIY at home is much more difficult... Why? That's because I have to crawl and lying under a car with a limited space which is much more difficult especially when I need to use substantial force!!!
