Alright, well where to begin? I have decided to open a new thread in hopes that people in my position can get advice and we can help each other out, as well as get some advice and recommendations from all you experts out there!
Here is the situation: 2003 V35 CVT 8-spd=broken, parts are unable to be made, located or found, but you can buy a new one from nissan for about 21-28k, depending who you speak to. This is however obsurd seeing as the car is only worth about that amount in the first place!
The only solutions I can come up with after it sitting in different mechanic shops for over 6 months is to:
A.) Buy the New tranny for 21K
B.) Contact a guy in NZ, who claims that he can fix it and rebuild it because he has the parts from JATCO and wants 10K+shipping, but who is going to electronically transfer 10k to a stranger along with your broken tranny?
C.) Convert the Tranny to a 6spd Manual which is in the coupe V35 skyline? (This is all pending that a mechanic will do it and I have a few electrical wizards looking at all the wiring and the conversion, but nothing definite yet)?
From these choice, I don't think I really have another choice besides C. Any ideas?
Does anyone actually know the part number of this transmission which goes into the V35 coupe the 6spd manual and have any pics or the wiring layout?
