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.

CVT fluid KTF - 1 4 liter

□ commodity details

* It is the x toroid CVT private fluid.

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

  Please use the private fluid.

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,

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
