hey guys

i got a v35 that has a 8 speed cvvt triptronic gearbox.

After scraping my car on curbs at maccas, the transmission oil started to leak and then my car decided not to change into gear when i drive. it works some times and then when i stop and go, it will stay on 1st gear. By then i would do a u turn and go home then WALLA it works!

i got the oil problem fix and spent around 3k doing it, then after 1 week it happened again and its been 3 days and i havent drove it.

i warm it up for 15 mins to see if it made a difference.. no result

now that dude wants to charge me 3k to open up the gear box and have a good look, the thing is... g35s are new in Australia and he admitted to himself that he knows nothing about the car....

i cant find any gear boxes like mine and was thinking can i just put in a normal auto gear box? i doubt it tho..

PLEASE GUYS HELP ME

go to C-RED, Jash has one himself Anthony and it's auto as well...

honestly, you shouldn't have gone to a guy that has no idea about the gearbox and 3k could've been better spent elsewhere as you know but yeah damage is done, try the bigger workshops that would've worked on these cars before ie. XSpeed and even try ASG... C-Red is where i'd try first...

good luck!

As far as I know....

You cannot source parts for these or the 5 speed autos....I know - I had one...

If you have problems the auto the cheapest route I found was to buy a low k's box and throw the other one away...

good luck..

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
