a fuji ecvt gearbox?

wikipedia

more cars other then nissans have them

The 1992 Nissan March contained Nissan's N-CVT based on the Fuji Heavy Industries ECVT.[1] In the late 1990s, Nissan designed its own CVT that allowed for higher torque, and includes a torque converter. This gearbox was used in a number of Japanese market models. Nissan is also the only car maker to bring roller-based CVT to the market in recent years. Their toroidal CVT, named the Extroid, was available in the Japanese market Y34 Nissan Gloria and V35 Skyline GT-8. However, the gearbox was not carried over when the Cedric/Gloria was replaced by the Nissan Fuga in 2004

ah so quite old ones then. i may have a bit of luck finding one then, i need planetery gears out of one to fix my punto,
blooming jap crap

dave your car would be a lot quicker if you remove the speedgear nonsense and fit the 6 speed manual box instead. it is not too difficult to do, bolt the manual box on, change your selector, fit the 2 selection cables, job done. a CVT auto is the least efficient transmission man has ever made, on a small petrol engine a cvt is just wrong.

a manual box is only as fast as the person changing the gears, i my case that not very fast at all

Most common one would probably be the 92 march, It being a Bubble shape micra in this country, it was sold here with a CVT so they should be knocking about.

seen some on ebay but they dont have external filter like mine, am going to have to phone man an ask if that matters

Whats wrong with using fiat parts? are they ferociously expensive? or are the jap ones better made?

you cant find a fiat box to take the parts from because over 99% of people had the sense to get a manual.

you cant buy the planetery gears seperately.

Ah just wondering thought it was odd to be using nissan bits to repair a punto...

the fuji gearbox is designed by subaru (fuji own them), so fiat and nissan both use fuji parts, that is why dave is after the nissan box, its the same parts but much easier to find because many more auto micras were sold than auto puntos and the micra had this gearbox before the punto even existed.

i was just driving along and it lost drive, but all is not lost engine and box was removed together so a 25k mile 1.4 stilo engine is going in when box is ready :devil:

thats a good idea dave. 100bhp should mean you have nearly as much power at the wheels as a manual 1.2sporting, you may even be able to keep up with one.

but hgt couldnt keep up with me on way to stanford one year

Its pretty broken then

i know the book figures are wrong, but they were all done in the same way so differences are a fair comparison.

HGT has 130bhp, does 0-60 in 8.3secs and has a top speed of 127mph.

sporting has 80bhp, does 0-60 in 10.6secs and has a top speed of 107mph.

speedgear has 80bhp, does 0-60 in 11.9secs and has a top speed of 103mph.


there is only 1 kind of HGT you could beat, a very buggered one.

the speedgear is the third slowest model in the range after the 1.9D and 1.2 8v, everything else beats it, even a JTD.
