B FUEL SYSTEM
1. Fuel Tank
The Fuel Tank design in Z50 is very similar to what is
found in T30 & Z33.
The Tank is made of a plastic material & has an 82L
capacity.
The shape of the tank is a saddle design due to the
propeller shaft running up the centre of the vehicle for
the rear drive. This creates the need for a Jet Pump
system to pump over trapped fuel to where the main
pump is located.

Z50 is not the 1st Nissan vehicle in Australia to have the availability of a CVT. In 1994 Nissan released
the K11 Micra which also had a CVT. The major difference with this transmission was the torque
converter design. The K11 utilised a Powder Clutch type of converter unit. It was filled with powdered
metal filings and a variable current was applied to the unit which in turn solidified the powder & in turn
connected drive from the engine to the transmission.
The torque converter unit in the Z50 is of the same construction found in conventional automatic
transmissions.
45

2. Torque Converter
The use of a torque converter improves starting
acceleration performance.
In addition the special torque converter creep
characteristics improve driving performance at low
speeds and they reduce the unfamiliar feeling that
drivers may feel when changing from a conventional
A/T vehicle to a CVT vehicle.
The torque converter allows the high fuel efficiency
engine ranges to be used for driving, improving
practical fuel consumption.
The torque converter lock-up speed has been
lowered (the lock-up range has been expanded).
This reduces slip loss and it also expands the
fuel-cut range during driving when the accelerator
pedal is released, improving fuel economy.

3. D Position
Shifting is possible over all the ranges of gear ratios
from the lowest to the highest.
Low gear ratio: 2.371:1
High gear ratio: 0.439:1
4. M Position
6 separate forward gear positions can be selected.
When the selector lever is put in the manual shift gate
position, the fixed gear line is set.
By moving the selector lever to + or -, the manual
mode switch is changed over and shift change like a
M/T becomes possible by following the gear set line
step by step.
5. Lock-up Range
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque
converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter
slip to increase power transmission efficiency.
The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by
locking up the torque converter at a lower vehicle
speed than conventional AT models.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
ONLY USE GENUINE NISSAN NS-2 CVT FLUID IN THIS TRANSMISSION.
Do NOT use any other fluid in this transmission such as NISSAN MATIC J or other Non Nissan brand
of fluids.
Do NOT use Nissan NS-2 Fluid in any other transmission. NS-2 is ONLY designed for the RE0F09A
Transmission.
Do NOT Blend or mix NS-2 fluid with any other Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Replacement of the fluid is NOT a simple matter of removing the Drain Plug from the Transmission &
draining it. Follow the recommended procedure outlined in the ESM.
Refer to Section C CVT CHANGING A/T FLUID. Remember to clear the Fluid Deterioration 52

1. Torque Converter
The torque converter transmits engine torque to the
transmission from the engine using the same method
as the conventional automatic transmission.
2. Oil Pump
The oil pump is the trochoid type, and it is directly
driven by the engine. This pump has a flow
control valve that ensures the optimum amount of
fluid is supplied for both the high and low
engine speed zones.
The oil discharged from the oil pump is used to
operate the primary and secondary pulleys and
the hydraulic clutches, and it is used as lubrication for
various parts.

6. Steel Belt
The steel belt consists of approximately 400 steel
pieces and 2 steel ring guides made up of 12
layers.
The characteristic of the steel belt is that it transmits
power by compression (pushing) of the steel pieces
while rubber belts for example transmit power by a
pulling tension.
In order for the steel pieces to transmit power, friction
force is required between the steel pieces and the
inclined surfaces of the pulley. Friction force is
generated in the following manner:
The secondary pulley receives hydraulic pressure
and catches the steel pieces.
The steel pieces are pushed outward.
The steel rings try to stay in place.
Tension is generated in the steel rings.
The primary pulley catches the steel pieces on their
sides.
Friction force is generated between the steel belt
and the pulley.
The steel pieces transmit power by compression, and
the steel rings maintain the required friction force.
Therefore the tension of the steel rings is dispersed,
fluctuations by stress are low and excellent durability
is achieved.

Inspect the fluid for its colour & unusual smell of the
fluid (darkened brown / varnished colour & burned

fluid. (Clutch band & metallic materials)
It is STRONGLY advisable to replace the CVT fluid if
it is discoloured or smells burnt.

removing the gauge.
NOTE 2:
Take note of the CHECKING POSITION of the gauge

If the gauge is in the NORMALLY LOCKED position,
the fluid level reading will be inaccurate. After
releasing the lock, remove & wipe the gauge & re-
insert 180 degrees from the original position.

K LIGHTING SYSTEM
Xenon Headlamps
Z50 Murano is fitted with High Intensity Discharge
(HID) Xenon Headlights for both High & Low beams.
A high-voltage transformer is mounted externally on
each headlight assembly.
Instead of the filament of a halogen lamp, the arc tube
(bulb) is filled with xenon (Xe) gas.
By applying high voltage, an arc discharge occurs,
which causes light emission.
Xenon lamps emit a large amount of white light similar
to sunlight, thus, bright and natural visibility can be
obtained.
NOTE:
If the lamp is turned on and off repeatedly the service
life will be shortened.
Xenon type lights last longer when they are left
illuminated.

K LIGHTING SYSTEM
Low Beam
There is only 1 Light Globe in each of the Lamp
Assemblies. Therefore the 1 globe is powerful enough
to provide enough light for all circumstances.
To give the effect of Low Beam, there is a small lamp
shade inside the Lamp Assembly to shield away any
light that may affect on coming traffic.
High Beam
To achieve the effect of High Beam, the lamp shade
is attached to a solenoid unit. When the indicator
lever is pushed forward to activate the High Beams,
power is applied to the solenoid which in turn retracts
& lifts the lamp shade. The light beam is allowed to
spread out further to give High Beam Lighting when
there is no on-coming traffic.
In conventional lights, typically an additional globe is
illuminated when High Beam is switched on.
This is NOT the case with the Xenon lights in Z50.
Lamp Assembly
The vertically stacked, multi-lens headlight
assemblies house the main headlight globe (1 globe
does both High & Low beams), turn signals and
parking lights.
The HID Controller for the main Headlight Globe is
also attached to the assembly.
In addition the Aiming Motor is also attached to the
assembly as well.
