hey oh yeah being able to reprogram the gear ratios would open up a huge can worms and that would be awesome!!!

hey thats great advice man...i just got a GT-8 so i can't wait to get that checked out...thats mad

i've heard that the CVT Extroid 8speed tranny's are quite temperamental if not serviced properly and i'm not planning on twin-turboing my 350GT sedan any time soon I'm just curious to see if anyone has heard of someone who's pumped a considerable amount of power from their V35 or other car equipped with the same transmission...if so how much and for how long? oh and why does 1st gear in my 350GT go up to 80km/h??? i had a mate get in with me the other day and showed him how the car goes and he was like "WHOA DUDE IF 1ST GEAR GOES UP TO 80KM/H...WHAT DOES 8TH GO TO?!?!!!" just thought that'd make some ppl laugh....i was pissing myself while trying to explain the car doesn't do 500+km/h ...but seriously has anyone pushed lots of power using this transmission or seen someone do it?

\ wouldn't you be able to get same wheels in a few different offsets to suit individual taste/needs?

hey you know you can contact the owner if you like legally...you can try this with the cops but depends who you speak to if they can be bothered helping you...but you ring your RTA and tell them you need to contact the owner of this car and they will contact them for you and then they'll get back to you...this means they don't give you his/her details but you still get your msg across...i've done it once before with VICROADS

hey thats a great website you gave me...thanks for the info dude.

thanks man yeah i wasn't gonna go swapping to a 5speed any time soon hehe but yeah gotta get plugged into diagnostics tool and see whats up and service the tranny ASAP just in case

are you saying that its quite common that i'm getting this problem with starting coz of the CVT transmission is dieing?

oh yeah thanks man i did find that thread but i was told when i bought the car that i could only use this particular oil and nothing else or else risk fudging up the tranny but i'm just not sure that this is the problem just yet...have to get someone to plug it into a diagnostics computer/thingo and it will probably show up...i dunno...

hi guys names, Nas...proud new owner of a 2002 V35 350GT sedan and loving it!!! needed a family car that didn't make me feel like "driving miss daisy" and this one fit the bill perfectly. anyways, i'm from melbourne and thought i'd say hi Nas

hey is this nuwan from irev in melbourne?

oh yeah somethings telling me its the cvt box too coz the guy who sold it to me reckons it needs a service every 5 years or 70,000kms....being a 2002 model with 47,000kms its due now if its never had an oil change. what confuses me is that how does the computer know that the tranny needs an oil change which leads me to think that maybe the cars immobiliser is playing up coz this problem seems like its electrical having said that, i'm not a mechanic so if anybody has any experience with this could you please post here or pm me coz i got the car as a family car and last thing i want is for the wife with the new bub being stuck somewhere

shit i just bought my 350GT with the CVT tranny in it and was told to put only this particular oil but never expected it to be that expensive

hi guys, just bought a 2002 350GT-8 as the family car and i'm absolutely amazed with the car so thats awesome. however, i have a small problem: sometimes... when i start the car the VDC light is on (on the dash which means its off) and the "SLIP" light in between the tacho and the speedo is on constantly...not only that but the car feels like its in 5th gear and won't change....even if i chuck it in manual mode it won't change....its like the car is "semi immobilised" in other words it feels like its not completely disabled the engine so it starts and drives but only in one really high gear and its really sluggish... when i switch the car off and on a few times, the "SLIP" and VDC light stay off as they should and the car drives normally. is this something any of you have seen before? cheers, Nas
