Hey I was wondering if you guys knew what ended up happening with this car?

Wow. That doesn't sound good. Snow mode isn't on by any chance is it?

Where are you located?

[scotty nm35]

No, sorry.

What is the code?

[newv35owner]

I am in Adelaide.

Snow mode is definitely not on. I make sure of things like that when I drive the car.

The code that has come out is "CVT Function" I was given the print out from Southern Hi-Tech but no numbered codes print out on the docket I was given. They took the car to Nissan for me so they could use the correct scan tool. I didnt take it to them myself as I havent had a very nice experience with their customer service, thinking I am a silly female!

[scotty nm35]

Did they try and clear the code?

It's very hard to diagnose faults like this, I am guessing you will have to find an import friendly Nissan dealership that is willing to contact Japan for fault diagnosis.

Thanks Scotty, any suggestions on who I could contact?

My mechanic is not having any luck with the Nissan dealers in Adelaide, non of them like to go out of their way for an import owner unfortunately.

Perhaps you could try a good auto trans joint like MV Automatics? I can't help with dealerships in SA sorry.

[Deep Dish V35]

Yep MV Automatics in Blackwood have the correct scantool and a heap of knowledge, but the CVT8 trans is probably one they havent done too much work on before.

_{MV Automatics did my fluid change, they did confirm with me when it was done that they unfortunately do not have the information required to do a diagnosis from an error code.}

_{I have contacted Sinergy and they seem pretty confident that they will be able to help me work it out, so hopefully I am on to something here!}

_{Thanks for the suggestions guys, will let you know how we go}

[szymonsta]

^{Ok I have a piece of interesting information. We have a friend in Japan who has contacted nissan in Japan for us. Apparently there was never a CVT Nissan V35 Skyline released in Japan for the Japanese market, so they are saying that they dont know anything about them.}

^{Yet to take the care to Sinergy, hopefully get it there next week.}
