Got my 1st pathy (R50 & VQ35) got few Q's?

Postby EJ20 » Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:20 am

hello guys

I got a 05 pathy (its R50, not R51) with 5MT and VQ35DE. It has 90K miles into it, and was woundering about few things.

1- I want to change the diff/trans fluids, and don't know what and how much I need since there is no level dipstick for the trans oil? how much would I need and also what kind of oil in needed for the 4wd selector?

2- I don't know if its true, but did some googling and found out that my car has a 300zx gearbox/clutch and in the same time my flywheel is the same as the 350z flywheel? what I mean is; is it possible to use a light weight 350z flywheel & a heavyduty 300zx clutch on my pathy? I kinda feel that the oem clutch is too weak and I plan to tow in the futuer?

3- what are other possible power adders? I don't want my car to be so noisy, but I want things like air intake, lightweight pulleys, high flow cats (not full system, just flow cats) ect..

last question (sorry for asking too much) what is the thickness of the oem gasket? is it possible to have a thiner one to rise the CR

thanks and please bare with me :oops:
