It's "Red Line", not "Redline". But no worries. We gotcha covered

Yes, each bottle is going to be a 1 qt bottle.

FWIW, if you're really wanting to pick them up locally, find a bike or other auto shop around town and ask them to order them for you. I have done this several times, and I get the fluid within 24 hours typically.

You mean the washers? Yup

Nissan Part #11026-4N200

For the transmission they are called a gasket. For the differential, they are called a washer. Same part number. Good job, Nissan

Found it! I remembered reading that Z1 also provides them

These are it, correct? OEM Transmission/ Diff Drain Plug Sealing Washer

JARblue · 09-29-2014, 10:00 AM

That's them.

OP, no offense but you really don't sound like a very mechanically inclined person. Do you have a friend or family member that knows about working on cars? I think its best to have someone help you out at least the first time around, especially since you will be working underneath the car. Yes that thread you linked us to has all the answers as far as jack and stand placement... I just hate to see someone with very little mechanical knowledge doing it by themselves for the first time. Just be safe bro whatever you do.

Order has been placed. Now I need to buy a pump, jack stands, and a drip pan.
Probably wont get this done till my next day off, which is Monday, unless I decide to wake up early later on in the week and get it done.

Didn't want to read the whole forum, but in case nobody said it, My car was very stiff with everything when I first bought it. Even with the clutch pedal spring helper, the gears were very rough to get in from shifter to transmission. Now at 6300, everything loosened up and it goes in like butter

And my profile clearly states that I am 23 yrs old. I probably have better credit then you do.

Are you sure you have the stands in the correct spot? Even with my 4ton stands in place, I still leave my floor jack underneath the area I'll be working just in case. I've seen too many Final Destination movies not to.
