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

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
