Hi Guys
My first time on the V35 site, usually hanging around on the Cefiro end of things.
In the process of buying Mena's V35, with the dead CVT8 in the boot.
So this is one example of the CVT8 failing, assume it was in one of the of the links that were put up.
The VQ30DET complete with auto is one option I have been looking at, but seeing as it is for my wife, I am likely to try and convert to a 5 speed auto out of a 350Z. This will depand on how difficult the electrical side of things gets. Ofcourse the other option is to go for the 6 speed manual, which will not be too hard to get up and running, I hope!
Would love to know a little bit more about the Leopard VQ30DET, a serious drift friend says they are going in a number of drift cars now as they are almost indestructable with standard internals. Not sure where it would sit with the emissions required for a 2003 V35 and ofcourse would require an engineer's certificate and more wiring mods!
Any advice here would be good, without hijacking the tread.
