Alright im almost finished my swap with the two engine's.
I need to know what grease i should get for where the axle's go in the tranny and how much?
I need to know what tranny fluid ( 5-speed ) To get and how much?
And what are the best spark plug's , And wire's to get ? Im going with a big shot of nitrous soon.

dont use 85-90. way to thick for nissan box's 90% of all nissan boxs over here dont like the heavy weight oils. Makes it a mission to change gear 24/7. I used 80w90 in my r30 skyline (l20et). And it was a complete *****.
After 3 years of putting up with that ive now replaced it with DexIII Auto trans fluid. Which is spec'd from nissan for all RWD box's They love close to water thickness.
If you dont want to drop down to 10w ATF. You can also use 15w-40 Diesel oil. ( diesel oil has cleening agents and low foaming aditives).
Your best bet is to use ATF. You wont regret it

If you have a NAPA parts store near you, they sell GL-4 gear oil(greenish color)which I believe is what Maximas require, or atleast thats what my 5th gen requires. GL-5 is amber in color so beware. No experience with Redline MT.

that napa stuff is 85w90 too though. but i've been using it for over 12k miles and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever in my 3rd gen. it's probably your best bet to be honest. you won't find 80w90 anwhere unless it's gl5 which supposedly will eat away at your synchros.

Coastal?
If you bought coastal,then you bought the wrong stuff..
Coastal is only to top off,it should not be used as your main fluid...
Go to napa and get the gl-4..

When I purchased my 5th gen used, it developed a leak at both axles. It was a steady drip that you could count by the minute. The fluid was amber so I knew this was going to be bad. How long it was in there, I don't know. I brought it back before my 90 day warranty was up and they said the gearbox had to be rebuilt. They tried to settle on the axle seal story but I knew better. I haven't tried the Redline MT90 thus far, but I stick with the dino GL-4 from NAPA
