The mechanic used consult 2, I have just asked if we can get a consult 3 to hook up to it. In the G35 manual it appears that the brake switch is apart of the vehicle stability system and the switch most would classify as the brake switch is in fact called the vehicle stop light switch. So we are seeing what we can find in relation to the wiring for this ASCD Brake Switch to see if it could be this. Hopefully the consult 3 gives us some more information.

Unfortunately I had already bought the car. The general consensus from all who know a thing or two about them is our issue isn't the transmission. Appears we have a wiring issue with communication going to the transmission. So looks like the transmission isnt the bad guy this time.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had brake switch as an error code come out of their V35 350GT-8 before. The transmission service has been fully completed and computer reset but she is still not changing gears and we are getting brake switch error coming out of the tranny. Have been corresponding with CVT NZ and Nuwan but we are all at a bit of a loss now. Cheers

I am more than happy to pay for their time in helping us. This has been going on for 6 months and we are officially at our wits end. I am willing to pay in whichever method they prefer. I have recently purchased fluid for the car in japan so have no issues with international transactions. Do you have any idea of where i can start looking to find somebody?

Hi there, Can anyone tell me if they know of any english speaking V35 specialists in Japan. Specifically one who will be able to help diagnose a CVT problem. We have exhausted pretty much all of our options in Aus and NZ. Cheers

Thanks for that. That definitely is a big job, that was changing from the 5AT to a 6MT. We figured that that would a much bigger job than the CVT to 5AT conversion due to the clutch, park brake move etc.

Hi, I was just wondering, I have seen a number of topics that have been started about people starting the processing of converting their 350GT-8 from the CVT to either a 6MT or 5AT. None of these topics have noted whether or not the conversion was successful. Can anyone tell me, has this ever successfully been done? It is an option that we are considering, changing our CVT to a 5AT. If we do this will we need to change the drive shaft, ecu etc? Will the triptronic still work or will we need to change the gear lever also? Our car also has the paddle shift on the steering wheel. Will these be rendered useless with the change? We have attempted to do our own research, we have found alot of information that people have posted in relation to talking about it what they thought they would need to do, but have not been able to find anything that confirms what will be required or if the change was even successful. I would rather find out now before we start the process of spending big $$$ on the car. Would much rather just scrap it out for parts if we cant either fix our problem or successfully change the transmission without needing to rob a bank. Cheers (Also for those that are looking for it, here is the doc on how to correctly change the fluid in a CVT)oil change REOR4A.pdf

Just letting you know, if you take the instructions that I messaged to you and the car to MV Automatics in Blackwood they are able to change the fluid for you. They were really great with our car and the service was second to none. Will be taking the car back there for any future tranny services.

Ok I have a piece of interesting information. We have a friend in Japan who has contacted nissan in Japan for us. Apparently there was never a CVT Nissan V35 Skyline released in Japan for the Japanese market, so they are saying that they dont know anything about them. Yet to take the care to Sinergy, hopefully get it there next week.

Please personal message me, I have a document which I can email you from CVT NZ which shows the correct way to change the fluid. It will take 7 - 8 litres of fluid. I had mine done, but the change was done as per other instructions and apparently this is incorrect when I have discussed with the NZ guys. So looks like I am going to have to do mine again.

MV Automatics did my fluid change, they did confirm with me when it was done that they unfortunately do not have the information required to do a diagnosis from an error code. I have contacted Sinergy and they seem pretty confident that they will be able to help me work it out, so hopefully I am on to something here! Thanks for the suggestions guys, will let you know how we go

Thanks Scotty, any suggestions on who I could contact? My mechanic is not having any luck with the Nissan dealers in Adelaide, non of them like to go out of their way for an import owner unfortunately.

I am in Adelaide. Snow mode is definitely not on. I make sure of things like that when I drive the car. The code that has come out is "CVT Function" I was given the print out from Southern Hi-Tech but no numbered codes print out on the docket I was given. They took the car to Nissan for me so they could use the correct scan tool. I didnt take it to them myself as I havent had a very nice experience with their customer service, thinking I am a silly female!

Hey I was wondering if you guys knew what ended up happening with this car? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/167659-help-help-help/

Hey, I know that this is a really old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if kleenbeats fixed the problem he was having with his car? I have attempted to PM but it appears that he no longers comes onto the forums. I am currently having this same issue with my car and the same error code, but nobody seems to know what exactly is causing it. I spoke with CVT in NZ but they have said that it is because my car needs a tranny service. Problem with that, this has already been done and with the correct fluid before anybody rattles on about this. The fluid and instructions were provided by Nuwan at Import Revolution. I have searched the forums but have not been able to find a thread detailing how he fixed the issue.
