To all GT8 owners who are thinking about giving their CVT box a birthday!

I am planning on organising a group buy of oil, cost is around the $250 mark for 4 liters ( 8 liters required for each car ) plus shipping from Japan.

Cost of shipping will depend on how many decide to purchase.

Once we have numbers it will take around 8 weeks for orders to be delivered to Melbourne.

I would like to get this under way asap as I am at 72000k's and would like to complete the service at 80000k's.

Where are you getting CVT oil for a GT8 for $250/4 litres? I don't believe it is this cheap, are you sure it is the right oil?

I just changed mine and it costed $150/L plus labour...But obviously at a Dealership.

Also, in terms of shipping, just double-check whether you are allowed to ship petroleum/synth-based fluids.

If everything comes through ok, I will be very happy to know that CVT oil can be sourced so cheaply for our V35s...

I have done a lot of research on this as I dont want to put the wrong oil in and have a mega repair bill afterwards.

This picture should be able to clear all doubts.

* By all means in the x toroid CVT on-board car this

How has the order gone? was the oil and everything correct? and if needing to source the oil now what is the best way to get it? (My V has just reached 50K mark and am starting to think ahead for when i need the stuff) and also can does anyone know the signs as to when you do actually need to replace the oil?

Sorry, but that ship has sailed, and yes it is the correct fluid as I had mine done just before Christmas and all is good.

P.s.- If anyone gets theres done, make sure whoever does it doesn't overfill the tranny.

Mine was a touch over and was doing some weird things namely at high revs the g/box would "disengage" drive, but that problem has been rectified.

Hey,

I'm about to buy this car "Nissan Skyline v35 350GT-8" 2004 model.

It comes with CVT transmission and it has 90000km on the odometer.

I will need to replace the oil soon as I understand. How many do I need to replace the oil?

On the way, what is critical to do on this car to make sure I won't have problems? I mean in terms of service. What should I look for and be afraid of?

Is there a place where I can get full manual book? It's an imported car so I need to make sure I service it well. Would also appreciate good places to service this car around 3163 area.

Sorry for all the questions in one time,

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
