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,

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
