Yep if its an import it more than likely will be the 'nissan one' and if its nz new it will be 'zf'. A common prob - which is what happened to mine ('96 323i Coupe import) is flaring between 2nd/3rd, and if you haven't got a warrenty can be very expensive. Mine was fully re-coned and the bill was around the $3k mark!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
