I want to remove the oil sump aswell to clean the magnets but, where can I buy a sump gasket, TM oil filter and what tools exactly?

Replacing the following parts:
***8226; New OEM Nissan transmission drain plug
***8226; New OEM Nissan transmission fill plug gasket
***8226; quality aftermarket fluid (using FFL-4)(9L)

Tools needed:
***8226; 10mm socket
***8226; 12mm socket
***8226; Rachet
***8226; 5mm allen socket
***8226; 10mm allen socket
***8226; 3***8221; socket extension

You should get away without having to change the gasket, I did buy one the first time I did this job but found out later they can be reused a number of times with issue as they are a metal gasket with a special coasting.

You can get the gasket and sealing washer from any Nissan dealer (to order) if you really want them or from Speed for Sale in the US which works out cheaper, not sure if the OEM filter(s) are sold separately but there are aftermarket ones at Speed for Sale as well.

I normally reverse flush my primary filter and have not removed the secondary one as yet. The job may seem a little daunting but it is more time consuming than difficult, but the first time you do it can be a little scary I guess

BTW, you should really join the GTROC as a full member as I normally reserve the good technical stuff for them only!

I will but I have an import is that a problem with with with VIN as I have CBA-R35xxxx.

Can I wash the filter with petrol or just with ethanol or something else.

I can't see that being an issue with the VIN number, you should be able to join the GTROC just fine.

I would reverse wash it with brake cleaner.

Thanks for your reply,

Do I also need a oil pump to fill the gearbox?

I will refill tonight or friday with ffl-4.

I use the OilSafe ones that Opie oil sells, not the cheapest option but great quality!

You will most defiantly need a pump of some kind and the OilSafe one does a great job.

Excellent

Why not do it now while the "iron is hot" so to speak?

 

[enshiu]

Yes I will buy asap. but where to buy a oil pump?

btw I will hook my COBB up on the car as it has arrived today.

I would hold off purchasing an oil pump until you know it is that for sure, I believe Dodson offer a blueprinted pump for around $750, the Cobb will not help you in the least with this matter apart from reading any errors codes and as you warning lap is not on I suspect there will be none to find.

Are there any cheaper oil pumps around?

I think the mechanical oil pump for engine oil (new) should also do the job.

Why dont you get a professional to look at it first and test it if possible.

I presume you are referring to the pump to fill the gearbox with now and not the internal GR6 oil pump so yes there are cheaper options and I have used some of them and found that in the long term they are not worth the effort.

There is a saying that if you buy sh1t you end up buying it twice!

Bite the bullet and get the right tool for the job from the start, it is too late when you find your cheepo pump has failed and you are trying to get your car back on the rod with oil dripping down your sleeve!

this one can lift liquid up to 5 meters.

I would like to have a mechnical pump rather than electric as one already failed and cost me over 100 quid.

Stop dicking around already!

Neither of those pumps are suitable, I had an electric one as well and was a right pain, the mechanical SafeOil one is excellent and is designed for this job, check out Opie Oil's site Oil Safe Fluid Defense Systems

I know it was just a try :runaway:

Opie Oils - Oil Safe Pump (standard)

so this one is ok I guess?

LOL! That one is fine, you will also need to get one of these:

Drums from Oil Safe I have a few of them for different oils but for the transmission I think the 5lt one if the best compromise of size vs capacity.

over two weeks the bridge will be bolted then I can work on my car.

at 0.41 I got a transmission fault on my instrument panel.

Can I do this without the drum?

 

[Arcam]

Possibly, if you get the 20lt FFL4 drum I think the pump alone will work.

My 2nd house is in the Netherlands(parked) I will buy from Germany or UK if possible.

This is from Germany.

This high quality down-stroke discharge pump is a most reliable and efficient manual transfer pump and delivers 1 litre for approximately 12-14 strokes.

10 L is about 120 strokes?!
