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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
