my Z broke down

The transmission has a failsafe, hopefully that kicked in before any damage was done. Very unusual for a hose failure to happen on a new vehicle unless it had already been slightly damaged.

From the service manual:
Recommended fluid Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF*1
Fluid capacity 9.2 liter (9-3/4 US qt, 8-1/8 Imp qt)*2

CAUTION:
• Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Never mix with other ATF.
• Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF will cause deterioration driveability and A/T durability, and may damage
the A/T, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
