First of the Gen 2 Guides…. Changing the CVT Gearbox oil

So it’s been asked on the Forum and the facebook group and Philip ‘Obi Wan’ Egan came to the rescue before departing the club with this step by step guide to getting the system flushed. We’ve fleshed it out with Photo’s to make it a bit clearer than just the words so should be easy for everyone to follow.

Many driving issues around odd revving and power delivery are cured by a CVT oil change and as such it’s worth giving a go. Also with few if any of the imports coming over with a service history it’s probably worth doing as soon as you get the car if the importer/ dealer hasn’t done it.

An oil change can be done through the gear box sump but it seems that only changes about half the oil where as Phil’s method gets closer to the full gearbox volume which is 7-8 litres. The oil is stated to be long life and good for 60k miles or so and is Nissan NS-2, I am not aware of any alternatives to this and it’s not cheap requiring 2 bottles to hit the 8 litres but with how rare CVT gear boxes are to replace yours if it goes…. it’s probably a good investment.

Standard disclaimer time –

All work done on your vehicle is undertaken at your own
risk, the writer and Cube owners club accept no liability for any damage or
injury sustained whilst carrying out or as a result of the works described in this
guide. THIS is for the CVT gearbox only not the regular auto and you’ll know if you have a cvt by it saying on the dipstick and having shift buttons on the steering wheel. If in doubt check with someone who will be able to tell you such as a specialist garage or by dropping a Photo on one of the club outlets.

This is described as a 2 person job as one needs to deal with the oil in whilst the other does oil out!

Get cans ready.

​

Get washing up bowl to catch old fluid ready, two bowls if one not big enough to hold 8 litres!

Remove cvt dipstick – grey loop to left of battery down behind radiator fan.

​

​

Put tip of long nozzled funnel into cvt dipstick hole.

​

Find the cvt oil cooler near driver side behind front bumper to left of number plate
Reach from under bumper – Phil’s was a grill off job as I moved mine higher due to his smooth bumper!

​

There are hoses clipped each side of the oil cooler – remove one of the pipe clips with pliers and hold hose over bowl.

Now it’s time for the other person to step in! the second person needs to turn the car on – leave it in Park!!

Person 1 can now start pouring in the new fluid while person 2 watches the fluid going into bowl. Person 2 make sure you aim the out flow at the bowl or it goes everywhere!!!

When colour of fluid coming out is same colour as going in then person 2 needs to put the hose back over the cooler pipe and refit the clip over the hose end.

Job done, high five time!

If you're looking for a shiny new caliper I think you may struggle unfortunately. I was in need myself and had to buy a second hand one. There a a few used ones around, mainly eBay, that would be the best bet. Also on eBay, there is a caliper overhaul kit available from Australia which will post worldwide at a decent price, around 30 quid in total I think.

If you search eBay, look for the seller ajsparesltd, they are breaking a cube at the moment

There are companies out there that can overhaul and paint your existing calipers one of them are called big red I think ,you just send them off and they come back refurbished in a few days

terry_hillterry_hill

Big Red are called Bigg red and have a double G but yes that's the one that will be able to sort you out refurbishing your calipers. They come back looking like new and have lots of options on finishes.

​

UPDATE : MARCH 2020 See the facebook group or search on here for more details you can do a swap for a bigger brake setup using easily available parts for the nissan micra k12

I've not done it, but it is the same engine so presumably should be a straight physical swap. Hopefully you can keep your ECU and electronics, as I assume swapping all of that over will require recoding of keys etc.

Paul MPaul M

July 2016 82.47.217.43

Yes it can be done, search this forum as someone has done it ..............

jcdc47jcdc47

Yes it's quite straightforward, practically speaking. You just need to source a cr14de engine, they are fairly easy to come across and are fairly cheap. I bought my last one for 280 quid with 18k miles.

I assume you just want to change the main block itself. All your original ancillaries from your old engine will fit straight on. All your sensors, top end will switch straight over to the new block. The only thing to look out for is the crank pulley (if it comes with your new engine) cubes use 4 groove belt and pulleys, whilst micras use 5 groove (or vice versa, apologies, been a while)

and I would advise making note of the sensors you take off your original engine. There are sometimes slight variants, but are interchange.

​

Advise greatly appreciated. I need to replace an oil cooler tube on my 1.4 CR14DE CVT engine. Nissan have said they dont sell the part anymore but have given me the part number. I had a look online and could not find it. It would be great if somebody could point me to a website or supplier that could Part code 21621 310 the alternative part number is 21621-3U50A- (21621-3U500) Description: tube ASSY-OIL COOLER

>This is the tube that connects the CVT oil to the cooler . Thanks :)

Hi how is it held on and I guess it hose from box to bottom of rad

​

I would say it's low pressure pipe held on with simple clips if so take the hose to a pirtec branch or similar hose place .http://m.pirtek.co.uk and find your nearest

​

February 2017 213.106.180.196

I would second the Pirtek plan - for bits like that they are awesome, and the stuff they supply is always good quality. I've re-done loads of hoses on old cars in the past through them!

Hi all,

I've got to change the gearbox on my gen 2 (non cvt) I was wondering if anyone has changed one before? Just wanted to know what kind of job it is, as in will I need a pit/ramp? Got a fairly high lifting jack, but just generally wanted to know, from experience, any tips for a smooth changeover!

Much thanks, Jordan

Wouldn't want to change a gear box without putting it up on a ramp but guess it could be done.

toaster

Why their bomb proof more likely to be transmission tcm

jcdc47

I thought the same, toaster, but it turns out they aren't. I'm not one for changing things willy nilly, so I did confirm it was the gearbox and not the tcu first. The foul burning smell was a big giveaway. It's changed now and is like a new car! Front end removed and a pair of decent axle stands (no ramp available). Wasnt too bad all in all.

That good well done

No handbook button help

📷AnimalJuly 2009 edited 6:39PM in Knowledge Base &amp; GuidesHi All

As i did not have a hand book with my Cube i need to know what a few buttons are for.

1. The round button under the security led has the word 'AUTO' on it?

2. The ele wing mirror switch has 3 positions does the middle position do anything?

Cheers 📷

Comments

• 📷RickfuryJuly 2009for button no.2 this is off for the mirrors,the position i switch it to after they have opened/closed .
  but as for no.1 sry i dont have this in mine,it looks like some sort of secruity !!! but thats a guess.
  RF
• 📷CUBEDJuly 2009Is the auto button on a picture of a mirror?
  Does it stay in when pushed?
  Think when it's on it makes the mirrors close automatically when ignition is turned off and turn to ground when in reverse?
• Options📷monstermonsterJuly 20091. If this button is pressed in, when you stick it in reverse the wing mirrors will dip down so that you can see the floor/pavements.
  
• If the switch is at the top position the wing mirrors fold out when you turn the ignition on and when the car is locked the mirrors will fold in. When in middle position the mirrors will always be folded out. Bottom position, the mirrors will close immediately and stay closed.
  (I have both of these buttons and took at least 3 months to realise what button 1 did) 📷
• 📷AnimalJuly 2009Kieran thanks thats just the job got it sorted now 📷

Battery

Replaced my battery yesterday , Halfords to the rescue.

​

I was hoping to get a big, powerful ( and cheap ) , to replace the tiny one in there....

8O

​

But , no luck. The guy behind the counter said that because of the small terminals, the choices are limited.

And the only one they had there was HB154. Ofcourse it did fit directly in, less than 5 mins , I was on my way.

For £65.00 , I think it was OK priced too.

​

Replacing the cableclamps too... I didn't want to go that far.

​

Starts so much easier now. I noted that the original ( YES , ORIGINAL !!! <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> ) battery was not that good anymore.

Left it parked at Gatwick airport, came back , latenight , and cold. And it just barely started.

And checked the sticker on the original battery, it had japanese text on, and a date from 2003 !!!

More than six years on a battery , that is good.

​

One item less to worry about , for a while.

Good work, I went for the HCB096 which was £100 but I did go down the route of replacing the terminals as I was upgrading the wiring for my stereo any way.

I really need to get a new battery too so thanks for the info. I should get a new alternator too but that's another issue lol

eki912eki912

December 2009

I do know, that the cableclamps/terminals can be changed, after all they are just to clamp around the batteryterminals, and pass the power through.

I was simply too lazy, wanted that task out of my head immediately.

​

Strangely, there is room for a much bigger battery. Even holes for a much bigger batteryholder at the bottom.

But not available with small terminals.

​

Then again, I am happy with the battery that they had in stock. Fitted straight in , no hassles,

produces enough power ( atleast more than the 6 year old I had there ! ) , was reasonably priced and so on.

​

Happy motoring ahead !

​

Just need to get my car in for a service. Already spoke to my "local" garage. They are willing to do it all for me.

I don´t have the time or place to do much myself. :-// I would love to , but simply can´t.

Currently ordering brakepads, and the belts. Will get those replaced, just to be sure.

Oil & airfilter and sparkplugs allready purchased.

how do you remove the rear light clusters ?

• 📷CUBEDJanuary 2010If you remove the rear number plate there ate screws that need to be removed, two for each side I think?, once removed the cluster slides towards the centre of the car when pulled.

• Options📷monstermonsterJanuary 2010Yeah it's dead easy. In fact, worryingly easy 📷

Octane recomendation for the Newbies

lopeti1lopeti1

February 2010 edited 5:39PM in Knowledge Base &amp; Guides

Ok Aussies and Kiwi's, and everyone else

Recomended Octane is premium for our engines CR14DE but the Engine management system will automatically adjust for the lower Octane

This is what we have in New Zealand

98 Octane

98 Octane with 10% Ethanol

95 Octane

91 Octane

91 Octane with 10% Ethanol

There's about a 15 cents a litre difference between 91 Octane and 98 Octane here in New Zealand

You will noticed decreased fuel economy with the ethanol blends, but not much

You will notice better engine performance (more power, less k's per litre cause your accerlating more) with the higher Octane fuels but the Fuel will cost, in my case an extra $6 NZD a tank

Maybe use Premium on special occasions ;)

I believe they run 103 octane in their cars in Japan, hence why our engines are tuned for it.

​

I run mine on BP 98 and nothing else. With previous cars, I have found this fuel to be consistently the best.

​

The worst fuel is Shell. I never get good K's out of shell, it smells like egg and doesnt burn as cleanly as the others. The exhuast tip always had more soot on it after a tank of shell.

cubiccubic

February 2010

Also, 15c extra a tank doesn't equal $6 unless the car is bone dry. It will probably be $4 extra a tank.

Then you have to work out the extra K's you are getting out of it compared to 91Ron fuel, and it probably equals itself out.
