How many rwKw does a stock 370GT make??? -
What did he expect. If you won't flush out the fluid regularly, your gear box ain't going to last long no matter which type it is! And majority of the time, no one will want to spend that much on transmission oil, so they keep it as it is and sell it off as it is to the next unfortunate dude/gal! Simple circle of unfortunate. My advice would be, only buy 60k kms or less Y34 Gloria/Cedric or GT8's!!! That way you know the gear box would be fresh for another 60k kms normal driving after a flush would be done by you!

To me it sounds like the people who never ran this gear box are speculating about its worthiness. Only me, Nick & Justin from Nagoya Motors say its the bomb. Not sure if Nick ran one, but Justin & I definitely have! Can anyone suggest an aftermarket workshop (anywhere in Australia) who deals with these cars please??? -Transmission Oil Cooler Upgrade with temperature sensor & gauge for monitoring is required...

Awesome read Alex No stupid rubber belt inside the box like Altima/Maxima & other low life crap out there! "This type of infinitely adjustable Toroidal CVT can deal with very high torque figures and can be stacked up end-to-end to provide other gearing options, and is essentially how the system in some of the JDM & Nissan home-market and CVT gearboxes work!" Game, set, match Just needs a larger oil cooler preferrably with a temperature sensor & gauge to monitor when its getting put through its paces at the track. Otherwise if it were broken, I'd be getting the gears jumping up & down when I drive it now!!!

That's an insight! In reality you're saying a tuner would be able to tune it to have 12 Speeds? Lol Sounds a bit far fetched! But you sound like you know your thing Greg Not like Trevor, he just got hate on me for a stupid no known reason.. I haven't even had the car for 12 months & still learning about it.

You learn crap all at TAFE! My mechanic said so! The only thing I haven't worked on is rebuilding botton/top of the block or gear boxes. Well if its stock, let us have a go one Wednesday night at Sydney Motorsport Park at the Drags!!!

What Tyres?

Went to Tempe Tyres yesterday & asked the main dude how big I could go & be legal roadworthy on my 350GT Sedan without rubbing insides of the tyres & he just said "the only legal street tyre you'd have is what you have on now"! (Which is stock 215/55R17's. I could give you 20's if you wanted to. Hooray, that was great knowledge to give me, ahah. So they were a waste of info to gather up on a setup!!! Lol So I just got sum cheap ass pacies to pass SA Workshop next week. Back to the drawing board & asking/reading your responses guys... I'll simply ask. ***Any Sedan GT owners running 20's or 19's on theirs, come forward PLEASE!!! -
As if its not an 8pd!!! RE0R04A on my placard... So I am just gliding the other 3 gears when I reach 5th gear with the paddle shifts am I??? Lol
-
Yeah I suppose, that sux...
-
I've fitted an aftermarket exhaust and can hear & feel the first 3 gears when the gear changes in auto mode Its definitely the 8 Speed CVT let me assure you, 'plated: RE04'... Another post on here from a member said that an Adelaide workshop serviced his Extroid when he supplied the o-ring , gasket & oil. Does anyone know where that was exactly???
-
Thanks felas But does anyone know if the front CVT oil cooler is a stand-alone unit or is cooled down by going through the radiator tanks? Going for a 70km drive last night. I carefully examined the 1st to 3rd gear changing up to 4000rpm. I noticed that the 1st into 2nd gear only changes when it reaches 2000rpm now, wherease before it used to do it in the mid 1000's rpm. I personally prefer it this way when not in manual mode anyway And the 2nd gear around the 2500rpm mark + had a slight buckle in & out effect like you had a dinted rim, but the 3rd was fine. I suspect this is because I had the rear tyres spinning in 2nd gear at Wakefield Park on the last corner when I planted my foot down on the 2nd lap. So it's either I loosened the 2nd gear CVT bearings, Uni-Joint or the CV Joints could be playing a part what do you's reckon?

Can I install a bigger oil cooler though to keep it as cool as possible when on the track? Wish we had a Jap CVT Specialist on this Forum to ask! hehe

Running engine flush around the block isn't good!!! Ask other people you will see. Only suggested in idle!!!

Who has serviced their Extroid Gear Box on their 350GT-8 model please? Workshop Specifies transmission flush to be carried out at 80,000kms & mines already on 89,000kms. Bought @ 71,500kms! I took it to Wakefield Park Raceway last Sunday & each time on the 5th/6th lap it would disengage the flappy paddles & it would jump gear by itself when I was driving slowly into the pit lane. It only stopped when I cooled it down on the back roads. I thought I had stuffed it completely by going hard in 2nd gear on the last corner one time. But it was mainly frying of the gear box I imagine. Every time I go hard on the streets now to overtake, you would get that same metal mechanism smell come from the Extroid box. Still works fine. But I wondered has anyone fixed the overheating issue on theirs? Does the transmission cooler go through the radiator for cooling? Or its a stand alone cooling unit? (That stupid tiny oil cooler at the right front of the bumper)... Also if you have serviced it. Was it is required to be in a closed, dust-free envioronment like Justin of Nagoya Motors (Caringbah, NSW) says it has to be in? Await your replies folks (if theres any out there with my troubles)...?

Do your 245/35/19s rub at guards 'INSANITI'? Would I be able to run 19's at the rear & 18's at the front then? Whatever this setup would be called? Or should I stick with 18's all-round if I want to run Pirelli P Zero Semi-Slicks?
