I'm not sure what I want to put in the tranny. Same goes for the rear diff.

Fuel injector cleaner, I use Seafoam. 1/3 bottle in gas, 1/3 through vaccum line and 1/3 through oil filler cap(just drain out old and then add seafoam and then drain)

Plugs I use the BKR7E the colder plugs gapped around .28

For cleaing I usually use the CRC non-clorinated stuff to clean in and around intercooler piping and MAF. I'll definitely have to pick up some of the MAF cleaner though.

I've had royal purple in the tranny on my S14 SR and didn't like the feel of it.

To clean the engine bay I use simple green max.

For tranny use redline mt-90. For open/vlsd use redline 75w90 gear fluid gl-5 (nissan says 80w90 gl-4).

I put 75w90 in my z32 vlsd (1.5L)

Its really a great idea to clean the MAF sensor. I had problems with my SR and it fouled new plugs and had the typically tell tale signs of a bad MAF sensor, I cleaned it with the CRC MAF Sensor cleaner and she is back to normal.

So i'm glad i found this thread too, about to do spark plugs and MAF,

I am a STRONG believer in NEO synthetic oils for both the tranny, diff, and engine. They are very cheap for such a nice oil $35/gal from SPL parts. So i just order a couple gallons from SPL at a time and dont worry about it.

My first drift event i blew the tranny after about 20 passes because of bad/old oil. Bought a new tranny which was in a bit worse shape (grinding 3rd already) and put the NEO full synthetic oil in it, and that shit has lasted 7 drift events, almost a year of driving, and it doesnt even grind in 3rd anymore! I'll never go back.

I ALWAYS use shell, so no need for fuel injector servicing, atleast not yet. I also have the Apexi air filter so i guess theres nothing to do to that from what i've read?

I also religiously spray down the motor/tranny because it leaks a bit here and there (mostly oil pan and valve cover) just a little bit but lots of dirt sticks to it so i spray the whole thing down with a couple cans of carb cleaner. keep it so fresh and so clean clean...
