another V35 CVT story

Not sure if I should start my post by 'Hi' or 'Help'

Let's try Hi...

Hi every one, I have a 2003 v35 350GT8, not rolling at the minute. The transmission 'disengaged' while I was on the freeway and now just refuses to engage at all, forward or reverse. I do get a slight jerk when I try to press the accelerator, but that's about it.

 

I'm looking at 2 options, bite the bullet and get whatever I can get for it in the current state, or do a trans swap.

I guess my questions now would be:

- If I decide to sell it as is, what sort of price do you think I could hope for?

-If I go with the trans swap, what would be involved, how much would that cost and do you guys know anybody on the central coast NSW that could do this?

 

Thanks guys,

bebetaz

I dont have any info for you, but I will watch this topic as im in a similar position in the whole "is it worth doing a Trans Swap over just selling it". My only difference might be that Im so sicking-ly in love with my car still, so I would do anything I could affordably to keep it for a long long time. I could get a straight answer out of the few Auto shops I had contacted, so lets hope you get the info you need.

Cheers

I don't have much info either, but a mate (a few years ago now) bought a v35 with a shagged cvt gearbox and successfully installed a 5 speed auto out of a 350z.

But it wasnt without drama. He is an electrical engineer, and had a decent auto electrician helping out. Alot of effort, but ended up with a pretty good car for the money/time invested.

you could sell it... just for not much money.

these V35 GT-8's sound like a curse that just gets passed onto to the next unsuspecting victim.

I just had a quick look on Yahoo Auctions and no V35 or Y34 CVT's for sale (i have seen some on there before).

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.....
