Hi guys,

New to this forum but got a question about the 350GT8 in local yard.

It got no screen/lcd in the middle of the panel...just left with storage box.

also no dvd unit too.

Is this normal just because different model?

Or probably took out by the deal??

If it seems to be okay I'll be one of the v35 family :D

Cheers

make sure the 6cd works. where are you btw?

SE Melb, but the car is at North side

Before you hand your hard earned cash over for a CVT-8, do a search on the forums.

You have been warned. :D

Yea, i have read pretty much all the treads in this section, knows about the CVT oil cost like 1.5K and 15~18K to replace it.

Heard that in West side of the town got Nissan deal can service it~?

And also spoke to the dealer, he says if the warranty dont cover the whole lot if need to get it repalced, he will cover it (not sure if that true but will get it clarify before I hand over the money.

Btw...v35 all come with HID/XEON headlight? or the base model got the normal style halogen?

cheers

Take this man's advice...pleeeeeeeease!!

V35 is a great car, even better without the extra electronic gizmo's in it (unless you can get a guarantee that it'll work forever!...mmmm...dunno if that's possible)

First mod I did was to have everything with a Bose label on it taken out, and a 2Din kit put (screen out aswell/storage box put in it's place) so I could do my own thang...and the one you've seen is already done! (spec'd from factory or dealer?...who cares)

But the CV8?.....please research it!...lot's of V35's coming on-line now!!..Lot's to choose from!

Is the CV8 really that bad?? or just because it dont get properly service in Aust yet?

The main purpose of this car I am getting is just for temporary...like 1 or 2 yr before i get a dream/proper job, so can get rib of my accord which the dealer welling to trade in for 7k`:)

need something goes tracks/family sytle~ :P

The CVT8 is not bad in itself, its just the unknown costs of repair and servicing that you have to risk in the event something bad happens. If you are planning to keep it only for a year or two, even more reason to stay away from them, as you will probably have a hard time re-selling it in two years time when the reputation of the CVT8s becomes common knowledge.

Stick with the 5spd Auto or 6MT if you can find one and try and get your hands on a series 2 12/2004 and onwards.

Taking a CVT8 to the track you are asking for trouble.

i know the CVT8 sedan drives smoother then the normal ones but alot of places have told me that once you start pushing the car harder the cvt will start to slip and break in time.. they arent bad but like john said stick with normal ones oh and the S2 5AT has a lil more tourqe then the cvt8 auto :P

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
