For the gallery gasket, get the EPS Kit. Also, look in to the bleeder core union, it’s on the back left hand side but they usually break at high mileage and can be PITA if not caught in time.

I have a 2012 g37 ipl with 206k miles I recently changed spark plugs but I couldn’t get out the 6th one cuz it seemed like it was seized in there what else would you recommend me to replace on the car and maintenance

[@exyoff]

@@prodriftingchikee6910 PB blast and heat to remove it. Maintenance wise, you could use some sort of carbon remover to clean the heads, a tune up which sounds like you already did, and just look under your car and check if there's any leaks, otherwise you're good to go.

[@johnieg37s]

Bleeder core sucks but is a cheap part but when it does go you’ll be leaking coolant fluid everywhere mine went around 158k miles

[@yousefz7788]

Nice video, bro! For my 370z, it had 58k miles, did transmission, gear, and engine oil. FYI!! Nissan recommends Ester based engine oil for it's lifter system! It's common these engines have a "tick" even with regular driving, it's because ester based engine oil isn't used.

You can use the Valvoline max life transmission fluid instead of the expensive nissan fluild. Approx $25 for 5 quarts. I have been using it on my 2003 G35 with 300k miles now and 2012 G37 with 131k without any issues.

[@ptinker106]

Just got a 2013 g37 couple days ago with 90k on it. I did brake fluid today but how often do you do the transmission fluid and filter?

[@klenthecreezi1041]

@@ptinker106you don’t change filter, just the fluid, or if you’re more able with your hands you can drop the trans pan and clean it + change gasket. Usually about every 60k mi or 45k if you beat it up every single day

[@ptinker106]

​@klenthecreezi1041 Yeah, 30-60k seems about right. Most car maunfacturers say the Trans filter is not serviceable and guaranteed for life, but if I drop the pan, I usually spend a couple extra minutes to change the filter. I think there is a baffle with bolts. I would do filter once per 100k to remove any contaminants.

[@tomzphone]

my g35 has 298k now, not once did I clean the filter. Just a drain and fill every 40k or so. Trans still runs like new.@@ptinker106

Great contents man! My 08 G37 sometimes has this weird noise coming from the front left suspension area when going over bumps, it's kind of a rattling sound when the car's cold, but turns into a squeaky sound when the car gets hot, after watching your video I am starting to wonder if it is tie rod issues, gonna go take a look at that soon

[@JoeVazquez]

Check for looseness or play, could also be your sway bar end links, so just start grabbing things under there and see what has play or looks kinda funny

[@NjBoriG35]

Same issues. Think it's the links or loose exhaust

[@Mulanesse1]

My only challenge is replacing the transmission fluid and break fluid lmao. I will attempt the transmission fluid so my question is does the transmission pan have a gasket or is it just bolted by the bolts? If so do I need gasket maker or is there one I can already purchase? My last question is what tool do I use to refill the transmission from the dipstick since the dipstick is so tiny?

[@josuegutierrez6257]

Hopefully you’ve found some info and were able to get the maintenance done, however if not; Every metal part that attaches to another metal part usually has gaskets (pan to transmission/upper pan). The gasket should be available at your local parts stores, but can be found cheaper online. As for filling the trans, I’d recommend a thin tipped funnel (imo, it’s best practice to always replace filters when you’re dropping fluids) Hope this helps someone!! - A Former Diesel Tech

[@Qkfltpdls777]

Hi, I have some questions regarding JATCO 5AT’s ATF level, the same AT is in your car. FSM says ATF’s dipstick should be checked 30-50 Celsius degrees at COLD range and 65 Celsius degrees at HOT range. You know that the ATF’s dipstick’s HOT range is kinda grill patterned. At 65 Celsius degrees, where should the ATF be at HOT range?

[@1234brahh]

At how many miles did you change the transmission and in differential fluids?

Thanks for the video! My mechanic told me to use the OEM Air filters since the other brands may deform or throw a CEL. I also changed my transmission fluid and it was pretty dark (no burnt smell). Will wait for a couple of months and do another change with a pan drop. Was wondering how did yours look? Also don't forget the transfer case fluid!

If you have proper tools, especially a good impact and a torch, shouldn’t be too hard. If you live in a climate with rust, it’s gonna be a lot more difficult. I can replace 1 side in about 2 hours at my shop. But if you’re more of a beginner it’s probably a 1-2 day job
