Hi Everyone, Up for sale is my immaculate Nissan Cube3. I purchased the car from IMG 3 years ago and was the first australian owner. I've used the car as my daily and it's never skipped a beat. I shopped around for quite a while and this was by far the cleanest I could find. When looking i drove both the 1.4 litre and a 1.5 and they are worlds apart. the 1.5 with CVT is much smoother and can easily tackle hills and freeway duties. Anyone buying a cube i recommend they drive both to appreciate the difference. Lastly I'm selling due to going overseas at the end of the year for 6 months. If it doesn't sell I'll happily store it while I'm away For Sale: 2005 YGZ11 Nissan Cube3 Colour: K44 light grey (quite rare) Mileage: 99,000kms INTERIOR: Cube3 is the 7-seater version. The seats also fold completely flat MOTOR HR15DE 1.5L engine came from the JDM Nissan Tiida with CVT transmission. PRICE $10,500ONO - No trades Contact: PM me or call on 0404097043

Been searching everywhere to find the transmission yoke for my 99 y34 gloria cvt and no luck at all can anyone help

V35 GT8 With Transmission Issue Hey Guys Pretty much selling my 2003 350GT8 . It had issues in the past with the speed sensors and was resolved and working for around years, This time the issue is different. It seems to be completely stuck in first gear. No code is generated after a scan. SO I'm putting up for sale at around $3500 since everything else is still good with the car. Engine is always serviced every 6k and the interior is still very good. Let me know if anyone is interested, maybe someone out there wants this car for parts from the transmission or whatever. I've got two other ones and I'm happy to actually just keep the car for spares but if a good offer comes along I'll let it go.

Hey guys, Thought I'd drop an update on the 6MT swap on my 2002 350gt-8.. On Saturday I dropped the diff, driveshaft & CVT with the help of a friend & only nearly killed him once with the cvt falling off the jack hahaha. Got it done in about 2.5-3hrs with a few hours prep I did the weekend before. Prep like drop exhaust, remove most of the bellhousing bolts, CVT clutch lines, loosen what driveshaft bolts I could etc. The most difficult parts were the little things really, remove this to get to that etc. Going through the CVT inspection plate to remove the X (I forgot what its called- between flywheel/torque convertor) otherwise the torque converter will still be attached and fighting the removal of the gearbox. Removed started motor, cable tied it aside to spin and wedge the X to get to the bolts through the inspection plate. Also removed the CVT dipstick & a loom bracket to get bellhousing bolts off from the top inside engine bay. Didn't have to touch the interior just left it in neutral to rotate driveshaft, disconnected gear linkage, was a peice of cake actually. I have a question though.. I sourced a CD001 6MT through this forum like at least 3 years ago for 1k before I knew of the difference. Is it possible to rebuild a CD001 so it has synchros like a CD009 or at least strengthen it?? also I've watched a bunch of youtube vids and I'm getting the impression that it's better to weld an open diff over a VLSD. Can anyone explain why this is please? Also have a 2003 350z VLSD I'm installing along with Whitline bushings essentials kit. Will measure up the driveshaft when 6MT & diff are installed. Next up is to prep the Z1 clutch for install, remove auto flywheel, rear main seal if required etc, solid bushings, interior prep, prep 6MT crossmember, install 6MT, short shifter etc, handbrake relocation(the cable is already right where it needs to be running through the tranny tunnel), clutch/brake pedal install then once that's all done scratching my head for a day maybe dealing with electronics hehe.. Just goto bridge the neutral safety switch and figure out reverse lights I think.. I'm going by this thread below mainly. But didnt even look at it when getting into the job, basically just unbolt remove whats in the way and drop whats needed. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/552038-5at-to-6mt-swap-info-diy-guide-thread.html Yes I'm more than likely forgetting a lot, but it's pretty straight forward. Having my mechanic friend there for really helped figuring out the inspection plate X removal & with tips for getting more leverage/using the car to our advantage. Like loosening the axel shaft bolts with the 2nd spanner pinned up against the sway bar, removing the the driveshaft still attached to the diff as we didnt have the 8mm allen key tool required for the diff side driveshaft. ALL THIS WAS DONE ON WITH THE CAR ON JACK STANDS WITH BASIC TOOLS BTW...I'm waiting on an order from the USA- 'Never Ending Details'. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They f**king suck. Barely any communication, Took ages to ship (nearly 2 months) and that's with me threatening them with a VISA dispute. Anyways just thought I'd add my experience with them. Pretty much follows the multiple bad reviews I've read online, same shit. The order was for flywheel/pressure plate bolts/various peices as it was a lot cheaper than going through Nissan (eg $17.50 VS ~$2 for 1x OEM flywheel bolt) I'm stoked the hard part is pretty much over. More room for activities now hehehe. BTW, the goal for this car is to make it into a nice street/semi drift capable car, with strut bracing/chassis reinforcement, coilovers, camber/angle mods & maybe a plenum spacer/intake being on the cards. Already has a mean sounding full borla exhaust & headers from the previous owner + ditch the wack bob jane special rims for some lightweight Rays TE37's. This car has been sitting for 3-4 years so I'm feeling really accomplished and excited to get her on the road again I will try to keep you guys updated. Cheers, Seb

V35 sedan Hi guys, have been searching through this vq section and finally getting some knowledge about these imports! decided to make my own thread and put all my questions in one place! bought myself an 02 v35 sedan 6 speed manual, has sunroof and factory bose audio. Always had a soft spot for the VQ range so I picked it up knowing there was clutch issues although having receipts of a clutch replacement after reading through the common slave cyl / master cyl failures, jumped under and found it is leaking from the high pressure hose that connects to the slave. Some heat shield was missing so maybe overheated and cracked. Hoping this is an easy order and straight replace from justjap Also read about the horror stories of the 8 speed auto cvt failures, and how people have been replacing them with 6 speed manuals, i sighed with relief having baught the 6 speed, but then noticed an 'extroid CVT' badge on my rear window, and now think maybe this car used to be the dreaded gt-8? As my centre console doesn't fit correctly/missing parts, and appears to be altered (especially around the gear stick. the left foot rest (on left of clutch) also appears to be missing. Is this removed from an auto or did manuals also come with them? I have posted pics but using iPhone so may have to scroll down. Looking at replacing the 20' chromies as tread is MIA and I hate chrome. Thinking of 17/18s with a more aggressive offset and concave design. Would +12 be enough to have a lil poke? Current wheels don't show any ET. Will get a staggered set of 8' front and 10' at the rear. Guards have already been rolled Drivers side window motor likes to wind itself down so will be replacing it from a stagea once i find a local wrecker. Will also get some tint on the front to match factory rear window tint (guessing it will be like my x-trail which had 20% from factory on rear windows) Does anyone know if the Nismo square twin tips are from factory? Doesn't make the best sound so may replace it, or just a complete new catback its a shame about the radio freq. seek range and unusable sat nav but thinking about chasing up chris rogers (strangely enough one of my closest irl mate's name haha) for a wiring harness to connect aux and possibly connect a reverse camera like a few of you have done, although the step by step tutorial is 7 years old and all picture links are broken haha. thx for listening to me ramble on, would love to hear some feedback! - gaz
