Turns out fault was actually one of the pressure sensors...nothing wrong with the transmission itself...just a failure of a $200 inaccessible part that stops the show.

All 3 (correct me if I'm wrong Martin) pressure sensors will be replaced with quality aftermarket items and will be remotely mounted so access is only an hour away instead of 12.

When the time comes and I buy a 2nd hand R35 that's out of warranty or nearly out, I'm just going to have the 7k ready to bullet proof the transmission. I mean it seems ridiculous to have to do this for a car which is suppose to be one of the best engineered cars in the world but what's the point of owning the car if one day you're sitting in traffic and the thing shits itself!

If your GTR is stock, Nissan has a habit of replacing transmissions even if its out of warranty. A mate of mine up here with an early build 2009, warranty expired 4 months before his trans and diff went - both at the same time as the diff failed and locked at high speed taking out the transmission (or vice versa), the local Nissan dealer initially denied the replacement, but a quick letter to Nissan Australia head office about the whole situation resulted in a full replacement free of charge.

Well, 3 year old 35 is lets say 100K, so in the scheme of things another 7% on top is not that much afterall.

I'm still wondering what percentage of cars are experiencing issues - I doubt every one of them is having sensors fail.

surely if you're that worried about maintenance on your future r35 purchase, you need to have a long hard think about spending another 2 years trolling a different car forum

so Kev i take it the trans install went smooth and you're back on the road now?

let us know after you've driven the car if/how the driveability has changed and if there are any additional noises

yes car is on the road again. At Sydney airport awaiting my flight to Adelaide.

Oh Snap alright Wardy. I think old Domi’s anger management issues are surfacing again lol. It’s got nothing to do with being worried about maintenance, it’s about heading off potential problems before they arise, which is precisely what Speedah has done by getting Martin to put ‘upgrades/preventative bits in’. Obviously a very prudent move. As big bad Barry said today, you might want to take Bex and have a lie down. :yes:

Lol Wardy, you amuse me with your bullshit. You might want to review your post on the previous page when I asked about the problem regarding the GT-R's transmission pressure sensors and weather they had fixed the problem.

Allow me to quote.

'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'

I mean you own an R35 so you must be an expert? Yes? :)

The difference here Mr Troll, is that I didn't give one rats a55 about pressure sensors when I bought the car, and I drive it like I stole it. If it happens, who gives a f*ck! Just enjoy!

Track day at Wakefield yesterday

I haven’t been back to the track since the larger turbos were fitted. I have 64kw more but I went with pretty much shagged slicks.

Pic show preparations form Saturday . Traveled to Goulburn on Sat night

Full tank + 100 litres of E85 gets me to the track, 5 sessions then home.

New Gopro 3..love this thing so far 

Arrived at the track early.....slicks on ready to go.

Best lap of the day was on my 3rd lap with a 1.03.0 (0.1 off my PB and 0.8 off the cars PB) after that the grip just went away…(slicks were finished) I was struggling with a very tail happy car so decided to call it a day at about 1pm.

Tyres and brakes were spent....

brake dust!!!

In car video from fastest lap yesterday...A bit messy here and there :-(

A bit later I was on a flyer and the Race Chrono told me I was -0.41 coming down the back straight but then got held up on the last corner....a mid 1.02 was coming.

The Race Chrono is an awesome bit of gear. A quick glance at it will tell you if you are under/over your best lap for the day...reading goes green if you are under and red if over.

watch in 1080

Porsche hunting :-)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
