redline, royal purple, or mobil one, for the transmission the diff and the engine, 10w30 for the motor, gl4 for the transmission or equivelant, not sure about diff weight, and some valvoline synthetic brake\clutch fluid should do just fine unless you want to use dot5 or motul or something but you need high pressure lines and master cylinder along with some good pads and rotors.

Use 10w40 or 15w50 for the turbo engine, Amsoil or Royal Purple.

80w90 GL4 is what's recommended for Nissan transmissions, some good Redline or Royal Purple oil works well.

80w90 GL4 is what's recommended for the differential as well.

Coolant is coolant, you can add a jug of the Redline Water Wetter if you'd like. Mix it based on your lowest ambient temp. If you live in Texas or a similar climate you can use a 30% coolant / 70% water blend.
