Hi Guys,

I just hit 100,000 kms on the GT8, so need to change the gearbox oil asap. I'm going to buy the oil here:

http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/onlinestore/item/10000682/

But does anyone know a reliable mechanic that can change the oil for me? Preferably someone who's changed the gearbox oil in a GT8 Extroid gearbox before.

Cheers

Is changing the fluid in a CVT box any different to changing the fluid in a standard auto??

Let us know if the source for the fluid is good.. I was thinking of changing the CVT fluid in our J31 Maxima, it uses NS-2 fluid and that seller has 20L for under $170.. which is about the same price as standard ATF here..

I'm not sure if its different, but normal gearboxes uses oil to lubricate, the extroid box oil is used to create friction between the moving parts. So preferably just want someone that has done it before. Anything messes up and I'm screwed.

I'll let you know if the seller is good. I'm guessing you didn't factor in shipping yet... 20L is about 20Kg..

Please personal message me, I have a document which I can email you from CVT NZ which shows the correct way to change the fluid. It will take 7 - 8 litres of fluid. I had mine done, but the change was done as per other instructions and apparently this is incorrect when I have discussed with the NZ guys. So looks like I am going to have to do mine again.

Just letting you all know that the website I got the oil from is legit. 8 Litres (2 cans) cost me $570 delivered. Took 10 days to arrive and one can was dented in a bit but no leakages or anything. Here's a pic:

excellent.. and it is definantly is CVT fluid?? not just someone's urine? :)

I might buy a 20L drum of NS-2 fluid for the Maxima/Murano CVT, half of that will be more than enough for a full flush, and I would sell the other half to recoupe some of the cost. - or maybe split the price with someone on here if they have a suitable transmission that is due a flush..

Just letting you know, if you take the instructions that I messaged to you and the car to MV Automatics in Blackwood they are able to change the fluid for you.

They were really great with our car and the service was second to none. Will be taking the car back there for any future tranny services.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
