PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Service Notice or PrecautionsNDS00009
Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-
purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OILPFP:KLD30
Changing Differential Gear OilNDS0000E
DRAINING
1. Stop engine.
2. Remove drain plug and drain gear oil.
3. Set a gasket on drain plug and install it to final drive assembly
and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to RFD-19, "
COMPO-
NENTS" (R200 2-pinion) or RFD-39, "COMPONENTS" (R200V
LSD).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug. Fill with new gear oil until oil level reaches
the specified level near filler plug mounting hole.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level. Set a gasket to filler plug, then
install it to final drive assembly. Refer to RFD-19, "
COMPO-
NENTS" (R200 2-pinion) or RFD-39, "COMPONENTS" (R200V
LSD).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
Make sure that oil is not leaking from final drive assembly or around it.
Check oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking oil level.
Set a gasket on filler plug and install it on final drive assembly.
Refer to RFD-19, "
COMPONENTS" (R200 2-pinion) or RFD-39,

CAUTION:
Verify identification stamp of replacement frequency put in the lower part of gear carrier to determine
replacement for collapsible spacer when replacing front oil seal. Refer to RFD-10, "
IDENTIFICATION
STAMP OF REPLACEMENT FREQUENCY OF FRONT OIL SEAL" . If necessary collapsible spacer
replacement, remove final drive assembly and disassemble it to replace front oil seal and collapsible
spacer. Refer to RFD-17, "

The diagonally shaded area in the figure shows stamping point
for replacement frequency of front oil seal.
The following table shows if collapsible spacer replacement is
needed before replacing front oil seal.
When collapsible spacer replacement is required, disassemble
final drive assembly to replace collapsible spacer and front oil
seal. Refer to RFD-19, "
Disassembly and Assembly (R200 2-
pinion)" or RFD-39, "Disassembly and Assembly (R200V LSD)"
.
CAUTION:
