this what I have said to others.

But even if it did, I would much prefer the peace of mind knowing the oil is changed.

As far as the Y34 goes, there is a km's counter menu in the navigation system used to monitoring service intervals. It can be reset with a few buttons. Have no confirmation that it would actually affect the TCU though.

That would only reset the reminder Leroy.

The early CVT's had only one drum in the fluid, which meant the higher drum wore quickly if the fluid was old or the fluid level was low. The newer CVT's, both drums are in the fluid, which makes them

Sorry to tell you, but the GT8 CVT box is widely considered one of the biggest ever mistakes by Nissan. Once you break it (which doesn't sound far off), there is NO-ONE that can fix it. Many cars have

Sure.. I was just referring to the V35 though.. the only V35 the CVT was available in was the 350GT sedan. Even then it was an option, the 5AT was also available.

Yes that's what I seen. The systems menu counter, that's about it!

If its only that needs resetting, I'd be madly pissed off after paying all this much!

Auto won't simply bolt in though, not electrically.

You will need the Consult 3 unit to reset the oil contaminant counter.

my research showed that you'd need a new Transmission ECU to control the Auto which should plug in to the ECU and you're sweet. Is there more than that?

Also, bolts look to line up so that shouldn't be a problem.

I would expect different TCU and transmission connectors. So you may need a harness swap too, which may mean other items need to be changed.

The Y34 owner who transplanted a half cut I'm assuming just did a full swap of ECU, TCU, motor, gearbox. Didn't describe any major issues.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
