hey guys

i am contemplating whether i should get rid of the skyline and upgrade to a nissan murano as the family is growing.. so i just want to try and see how much interest and how much i can get for it. im hoping of getting around the $13.5K. so give me a offer.

i thought i'd post it up here first so all the V-series enthusiast can have a chance before i advertise to general public on carsales.

the car has been a wonder to drive. it has always made me smile when i put my foot down. and smooth when needed for just normal daily driving. the car has always been well kept, washed every 2nd week, well looked after and always serviced on time. and for the guys that are always negative about the cvt, dont worry its has been serviced 10000KM ago. it drives perfectly silky smooth!

those who have seen the car will vouch for me.

here's the details

Make: NIssan

Model: Skyline V35 350GT-8

Year: 2003

Transmission: CVT 8-Speed

Color: Midnight Blue

Rego: Just under 5 months

here's the list of goodies.

engine

-custom exhaust system with VIP styled exhaust tips

-blox intake manifold spacer

-dynamics throttle body spacer

-pop charger with z-tube

brakes/supsension/wheeks

-tein coilovers (driving master spec - to get the VIP ride height and have the comfort available still)

-project mu disc rotors (front and rear)

-qfm brake pads (front and rear)

-genuine sparco 18x8.5 18x9.5

exterior

-nismo lip kit

-bootlid ducktail

-series 2 front bar

-series 2 boot lid

-series 2 outter tail lights

-10000K hid globes

-yellow jdm foglight/hi beam globes

-led number plate light

-led park lights

interior

-diy aux cable

-reverse camera integrated into factory screen

-translated factory screen

-tv tuner

-led cabin lights all around

-led front door courtesy lights

i may have left a few things out. but all in all the car drives well and is perfect. the only blemishes are a few little dings here and there from the age of the car. other than that it would be one of the best v35 sedans around.

pics will be up later.

PM if u have offers or enquiries.

cheers

Thats a WALD bootlip you have aswell.

This is a great car peeps, well looked after and looks great in the flesh!!

A decent good condition GT-8 is hard to come by.

Good luck with sale mate!

There are a bunch of them on car sales at the moment.. But yours seems to have a lot of extras which makes your asking price quite reasonable.

I think it is the repair costs of the CVT 'IF',something goes wrong that scares people.

Good luck!!

yea u are right about the cvt repair cost. but i seriously think that was a thing of the past. when these cars first came to australia, no body knew anything about these transmissions.. u would call the dealer up and they would tell you just to use ordinary transmission oil. but now alot of mechanics have caught on. so in saying that i seriously believe the main reason why these gear box were failing was because of lack of service because nobody knew what to do back then. now days servicing them is a breeze, that is if your mechanic is switched on and knows what going on.

Sure. Serving is easy as long as you use the right fluid (which is quite expensive). But if something goes wrong, you will still struggle to find someone willing to crack them open.

But as a transmission, I don't think they are inherently unreliable compared to standard autos.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
