I meant make them swap the whole car not stuff around. I'm staying strong and wont pay a cent, that's for sure. Just shitty timing right after buying it and them not knowing their stuff.

Its a ground issue. Either you have put a screw in a place it shouldn't go into your deck and therefore making a cercuit fault, or you just haven't ground the deck to the right place. Check those things mate.

Issue is back just as before. Have the car back to them..again. This time I got them to admit they don't so much know what they are doing and need to tourbleshoot the issue properly. What I really need is to find someone who knows this CVT gearbox properly or has fix the same issue before. Either way I'm spitting chips and want to swap it for a manual (and somehow make the missus agree).

Ok... you can start the "I told you so's"....

Hey, sorry to necro this again, but a few people went unanswered who wanted one. I saved mine made from lofty before my 33 went to the wreckers. If anyone in WA wants to buy mine they are welcome to make an offer. Doesn't do me any good in the V35 (like I don't have boot space to spear ). Just like I said to begin with, and anyone who snapped one up, they are awesome. Save space and fit/look great.

Sounds cool.

Yeah, I'm doing my reading on what's been said about it before. I cross examined the dealers about the issues to make sure of just that. I don't have any issues with the mechanic that worked on the car, just everyone else I'd had to deal with. I'm not sure you mind sounding like a pessimist or telling me I told you so lol. At the end of the day, I think it would be a bit of a knee jerk reaction to off sell it when it suits the family, is very nice and we have a top AWN warranty covering it too. I know by acknowledging it means I'm even more open the the 'I told you so's

Heh, yeah it's worth while. What should I be using?

Well I'm keen to see one happen, so I might as well put my hand up. I've never organised a cruise before but I've worked as an event manager so I'm sure it's within my means if theres the time. What has to be put together?

Bummer, if anyone drops out let me know and I'll fill the spot. Few days after birthday can me my pressie to myself and have some fun.

Ok, the good news is it's all fixed… somehow. The story goes, from the mechanic, that he notice a second error regarding a break switch. Something along the lines of the circuit has four point and 2 are complete even when the breaks aren't on and that's where an error was starting. Once he had fixed that the other problem has totally gone. Which it has…somehow. His explanation was he thinks that when the car thinks the breaks are on it detunes in a way, like it is sensing a slip… somehow. The best part at least is that we have sorted it about and it's running like a dream again. I guess I went though all those worse case feelings for nothing but it evens out because we have the car back. Even if they used almost half a tank of fuel testing it over 3 days.

1? Mine came with 3.. for some reason

Great work, can't wait.

Whats covered on the training day?

Yeah mate, warranty is still good, paid for an AWN top cover for 3 years too. Down side is it has to go through the dealer, which is useless. I'm hoping to find out more tomorrow. I would love to know about anyother cases along the same lines.

I can see my future, and it looks a lot like what GoldV35 went through. These dealer might sell a lot of the skylines but their own workshop feels more like a backyard chopshop than a real garage. I had to take it to them for the warranty but the customer service I keep getting is bullshit. I watched their guy plug in the car to identify the problem, which it did come up with. He showed me it said transmission problem but didn't specify so he reckons he'll be taking it apart to find out if he can find the problem. I have serious doubts. On top of that he outright told me it would take him ages… when he gets to it. To say I'm pissed off doesn't sum it up. The good news is that I jumped up and down long enough that one guy came to the party and got his mystery 'boss' to put $30 a day toward a rental car. We'll see how it plays out, until then I'll be rocking out in the coolest 3 door getz around….

Yeah, it sucks a whole lot. Where should I be taking the car in Perth? I mean I feel kinda of ripped of by the dealer, don't feel like trusting him to send it somewhere to be fixed. Even though the whole reason I bought from a dealer is so I'd have something to fall back on, I just want to know its going in good hands for a big job.

Hey guys, what are your thoughts on this; I jumped in my car this morning to take the short drive to work and right away noticed once I was half way down the street that while in drive the car wasn't changing out of first. Weird I thought, so I popped it to trippy and tried paddle shift with no joy. It was the weirdest thing, my little display would change as I hit them (only up to 4, weirder) but for some reason gears weren't changing. I pulled over put it into park, I could put it into reverse, feel it go into 1st but while I was driving it's like there wasn't 2nd there at all. So there I am getting late for work trying to drive slowly and not rev the shit out of it and all of a sudden after i'd put it up to neutral and back, it was finding gears again. I was 5 minutes from work and not wanting to jinx it I didn't put it over to see if I could cycle all the gears again. Then work sucked. Back in the car 11 hours later and the same problem. Almost the same distance of babying it, trying to cycle gear modes for the miracle fix and it happened only in manual. This gave a bit more light that even though the gears were changing, I knew it wasn't going into 8th and could see it see didn't act as if 8th gear was there. Help What on earth is the problem with my new car? I've had it (2002 GT-8) for less than a month. Any ideas?

This is about the same as asking you mates what you think of your girlfriend. You are the one putting up with it every day. Drive each and do whats right for you. But if it really doesn't speak to you the truth is the GTR is more fun. The only reason you would go another way is if you'd had enough of that type of driving and wanted something else.

During the day (any day) is always tough for because of work/kids, but let me know and I'll make an effort to come out for sure.

The board doesn't trust me with almighty PMing power until I post more. Sure would like one though. Email me at user3824 at hotmail dot com with some details mate.

Yeah funny enough I was eyeing off my wifes Tiida c/c. Anyone know if its the same unit that would fit the V35? Is it straightforward to install cc?

Hey all, I just got around to fitting one of these boxs from loftyfang. It's really good! Totally worth it, saves so much space from anyother design (other then taking out the spare wheel...but who wants to do that?). The box itself is made really well and finished great, thanks man! I am holding out for the left side idea. I think we agreed in the end the only smart way to do it was to make a box that angles in toward the boot, so it fits and use a spacer on the other side so that don't point into each other and both end up facing the same angle. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Get cracking!

Looks awesome. Will you be making one for the left as well? I've been thinking about getting a custom job of taking out the spare and trying to get two 12" in there but this seems like a go-er.
