So not so long ago, i posted a thread about my gt-8's transmission going bad..at least i thought it was the tranny..

The problem went away after an ecu reset and a pedal position relearn.

Just last night the same thing happened again. I was cruising down the freeway doing 100km/h then the it felt like the car's power is cutting out jerking forward and back.

Pulled over, did an ecu reset and off i went again with no problems whatsoever after that.

One thing i noticed though is that whenever i release the accelerator pedal and put the tranny on manual mode, the car would always jump to the third gear. It doesn't matter whether i'm doing 100 or 60 km/h. But if i keep my foot on the pedal when i change the mode it goes to the appropriate gear according to the speed the car's doing.

I've got a feeling that's it's a sensor issue. It's as if the tranny doesn't know how much speed the car is doing when you let go of the accelerator. But which sensor needs checking? How much would they cost to repair?

power cutting out doesn't sound like a transmission problem...hv u taken ur car to nissan to get a diagnostic check for possible fault codes?

i always wait till i get to a complete stop ( at traffic lights) before switching between auto and manual mode...i thought everyone did the same....apparently not ...lol

Haven't really taken any notice about the gaer when i switch to man mode, but I have heard that the five speed box will always go to third, I have 2 mates with M35 stag's and they both go straight to third.

As for changing when stopped it doesn't pose any probs for the box, I would assume that Nissan would have plastered stickers all over and there would have been a note in the manual.

Yeah, i usually change the mode whenever i feel like it. And i've always noticed the gearbox go to the right gear according to my speed. This time it didn't when i let go of the accelerator.

If there is a fault code logged in the ecu wouldn't the check engine light turn on? Man i really need to get my hands on a BlaztII cable.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
