I have 04 350z running on Vortech V3 and run it about 6.5k miles and thought it about time to change the fluid, but then I have no idea how to even take the dip stick out because of the space limited, anyone know any way to change it? Do I need to take out the blower(That going to be complicated.....)? Or should I find a shop in SoCal? Thanks

 

stop whatever your doing! NOW!

based on your questions you are not capable of doing anything with this car.

Please change your oil with synthetic every 3k miles at a nissan dealer.

I cant explain why, it will just go over your head

 

I am ROFL'ing at his mod list: pulley 3.12", fuel pump 255, and best of all THE PLATINUM SPACER.

 

I do change my oil myself every 4k miles.....so thank you.
I'm asking about the oil in the Vortech blower because the V3 is on it own lubricant system and the dip stick is on the side of the blower.....
Lol, thanks for making fun of my list, not sure what wrong with the spacer.....

 

unless it cost thousands of dollars its prolly a plenum spacer and here read this link.

Lol, sorry for my poor spelling.....
The Charger set up is different than the Z.....lol...

 

I had the same issue on my old vortech setup...called vortech. The blower is made for a wide avriety of cars, not just th Z so the dipstick can't be taken out on our cars and I relayed this to vortech...they dont care.

Here's what I did....I put an axtended drain SS line to under the bumper and would just drain it and refill with 4.0 oz vortech fluid...no dipstick needed cause you cant get to it anyway...

hope that helps.

 

I see, so 4oz the whole bottle is perfect?
You extended the original drain line? How you do that?

 

The V3 dipstick is a pain to get to with the blower still on the bracket, however, I was still able to finagle it out.

 

according to vortech, 4.0 oz is just right for a fluid change. I just took the old line off the blower, or bolt or whatever the drain was, and attached a longer line that I could access through the bumper opening and capped thee end.

 

^thats what i did with my V3 as well. in the G35, I could actually get the dipstick out though

 

Thanks, I'll give a try without the dip stick I guess =\
