Wardski Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 No doubt this was a 50/50 affair. Martin provided the package, Speedah did the hard work behind the wheel. Excellent job, both of you!

Seano350GT Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This has to be one of my favourite threads to read through right from the start, very impressive numbers and MY GOD that is a beautiful car. Well done you must be truly proud of what you have acheived!

Speedah Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi ho Hi ho....its off to Willal I go... Jumped in my car yesterday after having driven it 1/2 an hour earlier with no hint of what was to come. Started it, shift to reverse, dash lights up like a Christmas tree with faults and throttle input does nothing...car wont move. AWD system fault light is on (see top right below) along with check engine light. Plugged in my Access Port and found code P0847 Had a look at the GTR service manual...code is the following... Shit....doesn't sound good Called Martin at Willall....common problem, factory pressure sensors shit themselves. There are 3 in the transmission and are not accessible. Needs trans/diff removal and transmission disassembly to repair. I have my suspicions that the sensor is actually OK and the pressure is in fact low from a blown seal. What pisses me off is that this failure has nothing to do with any mods to the car...it happens to bone stock R35s. If my car was stock I could take it to Nissan and they would replace the complete transmission under warranty. So, car is being shipped to Willal on Friday...while the trans is out will do some bullet proofing mods. All going well Im hoping to travel from Adelaide to Melbourne Saturday 2nd Feb, stay the night and have some runs at Heathcote drags on the Sunday (there are a few R35s going for runs). Heathcote allows sub 11 sec passes with no cage...will be good to have a play with different levels of the launch control and better my single pass 10.62 at WSID This is the first and only fault I have had with the car in 2.5 years and I have absolutely flogged the arse out of this thing....cant complain Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6708909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockas Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pretty standard failure. Talking to a few of the boys who do some work here on the West coast, they all seem to do it between 25,000-40,000kms. Sounds like you got to the very limit of age / kms before they let go. 'South Side Performance' now do complete plug-and-play sensors for the R35 as it's such a common problem. They're only $200.

Wardski Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Speedah did you try the Warranty path with Nissan??? Also another thing, what did the 2011 front end conversion set you back??? I'm considering doing this myself with my 2010 Edited January 16, 2013 by Wardski Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6709020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino_z Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 hope you can make it to Heathcote Kev seeing what you can run with mod'd turbos vs my full bolt on stock turbo same day same track will be a great comparison for everyone (including myself) who is on the fence whether to take that next step great opportunity to upgrade the trans - im still on the fence whether to do this as preventative or wait till something goes wrong Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6709056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also another thing, what did the 2011 front end conversion set you back??? I'm considering doing this myself with my 2010 Yes, I talked to someone at Macarther Nissan who was very helpful...told him the full story. He explained the proceedure they have to go through to gain approval (from Japan I assume). Short story is the car would be there for a week or two while they diagnose/wait for a decision then I would be charged $600/$700 to then to say they can't help me. Im not too worried...I would rather put parts in it that dont fail. I was very fortunate that it happned inside my workshop. A week ago I was driving in the Sydney City centre during peak hour...I dont know WTF I would have done if it decided to pack it in there.

Speedah Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Stock wheels back on for Willal trip no. 2 Ready to go. (car has now been delivered to Willal) If you need to transport your car from Wollongong/Sydney area interstate by someone that actually cares Mick is the man. Some of you may be familiar with his 7.4sec Torana MV454 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6713487 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardski Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I seriously hate transport companies all together. While I didn't have issues with CEVA, I had a fuel contamination issue a few weeks back and the GTR had to be tray back transported to Moorooka Nissan for draining. I made sure I taped up the front lip (2 layers) just in case it was scratched. Sure enough, the tape was fully scuffed when I picked it up from Nissan the next day. Luckily there was no damage. The transport used was the GTR Roadside Assist preferred - Wilson Transport - in Brisbane. I do not recommend them, nor will ever use them again!

GT-R OZ Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Have they fixed this pressure sensor problem in the later model R35's? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6714402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardski Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Have they fixed this pressure sensor problem in the later model R35's? Nup. Transmissions are almost identical in that regard all the way to 2013. With all GT-R's its not a matter of if it will happen, its more like, when it will happen Edited January 21, 2013 by Wardski Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/5/#findComment-6715293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
