Checking Differential Gear OilNLS0000P
Check for oil leakage.
Changing Differential Gear OilNLS0000Q
1. Drain oil from drain plug and refill with new gear oil.
2. Check oil level.
CAUTION:
Gaskets are not reusable. Never reuse them.
Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)NLS0000R
REMOVAL
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.Level gauge bolt:

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the road wheel.
Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure at right.
b. When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the
figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the tire
balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:

Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other (as shown in
the figure).
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer resid-
ual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
