Unusual Trans Fault.

Last night I was driving the wagon and I accelerated onto the motorway, got to about 90km/h and flicked the O/D on.

All the trans lights went out (gear position, and 'O/D off') and the car would not drop below about 3200rpm, I could accelerate over 3200, but when I took my foot off the accelerator, the rpm dropped to 3200 and would not go any lower.

I flicked the O/D on and off a couple of times, and cycled the 'Power-Snow' switch a few times, nothing changed. Then all of a sudden, it was back to normal.

I experimented with it a bit later, but could not get it to do it again, and it has not done it before last night.

What would/could cause this? Why wouldn't the engine drop below 3200 and why did all my trans lights go out?

Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? What did you do?

I would have said that maybe your accelerator got stuck somehow, but the fact that your trans lights went out throws a new spanner into the works, and that shouldn't have been even remotely connected.

Dunno. Strange!

Sounds an electrical problem or a jammed throttle, or a jammed throttle that caused an error code that the ECU tried to stop (not sure if it even does this)... really hard to chase down I would think, get the ECU checked for error codes, that is the only chance of tracking it down if you can't repeat it I would think?

good luck

It confused me as well, ironically I was just telling everyone in the car about how reliable it has been since I bought it.

Is checking the error code on the ECU the same as other Nissans?

Turn the little screw one way then back the other and count the flashes.

Anyone got a list of the error codes? All I can remember is 55 = no faults.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
