If anyone needs the CVT oil, let me know because I'm importing some myself and I'll just add yours into my shipment. You have make a decision and pay by Monday at the latest as the shipment leaves soon and I don't want to miss the boat so to speak.

Just PM me if you're interested and I'll tell you the rest of the details.

Hi mate, you're in luck :(

The shipment I ordered from Japan will be here in about a month, with which I was planning to do my oil change with.

Recently though, the gearbox played up and some error codes came up when using the Consult-II tool, basically it was indicating that the speed sensors were returning an error. It would be easy to assume that the speed sensors need replacing, however the CVT experts I spoke to disagreed. It seems that when the oil ages and loses its integrity, it doesn't provide sufficient friction between the rollers which causes them to slip at random intervals, especially when it heats up after a long drive on the highway. This in turn sends fluctuating signals to the speed sensors which causes them to log an error.

In light of that fact, the dealership we bought the car from is taking responsibility for this issue as the car is still under dealer warranty. Therefore they are ordering oil in a.s.a.p. and getting a workshop to change it over which will leave me with the 8 litres (2x4 litre cans) I ordered myself, sitting around collecting dust.

If you decide you want this, just PM me and we'll sort out the finer details, thanks mate.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
