To keep a long story short, City Nissan (Melb) is able to source CVT Oil for our V35 CVT transmissions, being KLE51-00004. However, they need to buy a minimum of 6 x 4L cans - which equates to 3 cars.

The discounted price is $595 per can (and you'll need 2 cans to fully flush the tranny and replace the CVT oil).

Any takers? I just need 2 more V35 owners....

I want to move quickly on this as I've done 60,000kms on my V35.

And, by the way, I also got my belts done for cheap from City Nissan too....So I would strongly suggest you do so (if not already done).

Please PM or SMS me 0403 347 739, we can then arrange for all 3 cars to be done, or all 3 of us to go order the oil. Cheers, Nelson.

this is not including the labour right? just for the oil itself?

any special diagnostic equipment or method to flush and change the oil?

Or any good mechanic could do the job?

I'd suggest City Nissan (Melb) as this is where I asked for the CVT oil. I don't think it will cost too much for labour.

Rianto also takes his V35 there for service and they are a very "honest" service centre...

Any takers?

yea, i taking my car there too, too bad i've done my oil change last time~

it was pain in the arse just sourcing the fluid

this would be good for any GT8 owner who never or about to due for major service

I don't have a GT8 but I will add some positive feedback for City Nissan in Melbourne. Had my car serviced there and had the belts changed too for a pretty reasonable price. Also they were quite familiar with the V35 which was better than a number of other dealers.

Good luck with getting your other 2 GT8 owners together for the oil change :blink:

Went to City Nissan today to change it...........Gosh, drives like a new car....so much for buying an Accord Euro! The V35 is much better; despite being an 02 model....

Costed me $1300 with a 'free' carwash.....happy-as...

Pls note, what I was charge may differ from what you will be charged...pls check with City Nissan if you intend to change your CVT oil...

Sorry guys I am new to this, I bought my V35 January it has done around 75 000 now.

I read in many places that oil does not need to change till 100 000 so I am going to do it at 90 000 just to be safe.

But I am reading here that you guys change the belt alos? I am sure I read online that this CVT has a metal belt and hence there is no need for belt change ! Am I wrong? If so at what KM should it be changed and how much does it cost?

Regards'

The sticker under bonnet seems to suggest 100,000kms as the service interval for the cvt trans.

I have found info from nissan that says they ran there test cars to 120,000kms and the oil was still fine other than a small amount of acids formulating and they could of run much more kms no problem on the same oil.

This cvt doesnt use belts and you best to google extroid cvt so you can get pics to understand it better. Basically unless it stops working properly dont loose to much sleep over it.

If your worried about the oil then change it alteast it gives you peace of mind its been done i guess.

I think what RamiV35 is referring to is the timing belt...There is no timing belt as it's chain-driven=metal belt...That is for the engine mate...

The CVT is for the transmission - where the gears are (or lack thereof as it's a CVT)...

I didn't have to change my CVT oil, but I was considering driving it for 3+ more years...so did it. And now, I just sold it..so wasted $1300...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
