nvm not able to change the system node version using nvm

I am working on some remote linux server, where I want to set node v8.0.0. But it seems this has been set to use v0.10.35 and how much ever I try to use nvm use and set different node version, it doesn't work.

Here are the simple code and output:

jk@:$ nvm debug
nvm --version: v0.32.0
$SHELL: /bin/bash
$HOME: /home/jk
$NVM_DIR: '$HOME/.nvm'
$PREFIX: ''
$NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX: ''
nvm current: system
which node: /usr/bin/node
which iojs: which: no iojs in (/data/thirdparty/gcc-6.1.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$HOME/bin)
which npm: /usr/bin/npm
npm config get prefix: Error: ENOENT, stat '$NVM_DIR/versions/node/v8.0.0'
npm root -g: $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v8.0.0/lib/node_modules

jk@:~$ nvm list
         v6.1.0
         v6.6.0
         v8.0.0
->       system
default -> v8.0.0
system -> 8.0.0 (-> v8.0.0)
node -> stable (-> v8.0.0) (default)
stable -> 8.0 (-> v8.0.0) (default)
iojs -> N/A (default)
lts/* -> lts/argon (-> N/A)
lts/argon -> v4.8.7 (-> N/A)
lts/boron -> v6.12.2 (-> N/A)
lts/carbon -> v8.9.3 (-> N/A)
jk@:~$ node -v
v0.10.35
jk@:~$ nvm use 8.0.0
Now using node v8.0.0 (npm v1.4.28)
jk@:~$ node -v
v0.10.35

I checked my ./bashrc file etc, but completely clueless why nvm use doesn't working and which file is actually overwriting this.

(nvm maintainer here)

The npm config get prefix error in nvm debug is concerning; you may want to try nvm uninstall 8 && nvm install 8.

If you’re still having trouble, please file an issue on the git repo http://nvm.sh
