Im pretty sure they have sold the cvt boxes a long time ago but you might get lucky and they may have a cvt ecu...dunno.

Possibly contact an ecu specialist.. i think plms developments over there may be able to help but not sure if they do anything other than engine ecu's.

What a champion you are mate! Thanks a million! :)

I'll get in touch with them to see if they can sort me out.

Thanks again!

You should let them know if they can fix it then they may have some more customers if it ends up being a common fault on the cvt cars awell.

Maybe some of the autos might fail from this issue aswell who knows....

Strange though that the cvt ecu (that you would think would be different) possibly has the same issue as the autos....

****************************MAJOR UPDATE & CONCLUSION************************************************

YES! Finally fixed! After a month of horror and a long list of possible culprit, I finally figured out what was causing the problem.

The problem was...(drum roll) :FAULTY SPEED SENSOR

After spending a week at Tech Transmission with no end result and spent close to $500, I went and took the car to Jamie at Autoworkshop at welshpool cause i couldn't get an appointment soon enough with Fabcar. He hooked up a scan tool, recorded the datalog and told me to go for a drive. As soon as the car was jerky i took a look at the scan tool and the vehicle speed sensor was going haywire. Jumped from 50 to 75 dropped to 4 then finally made the transmission go on limp mode. Sure enough after that he retrieved a P0720 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) Error from the TCM. He had a wicked scan tool.

Got a replacement from Nissan ($300) and fitted it in today. Problem = Gone :blink: I'm so happy i can eat a horse.

Here's the part no for the speed sensor: 31935 - 5P002

I hope this info would be useful to anyone who's experiencing the same problem.

Thanks to Jamie & Brett at Autoworkshop who diagnosed and tested everything on the car. Thanks to everyone here who’s helped.

Sorry for the long post, i'm just too excited right now, My baby lives again! :(

Thats great you got it sorted and gave the details on the problem and solution it just shows how important a good scan tool is with these modern ecu's.

I want to get myself a consult3 or equivalent at some stage.

I think I have a similar problem to what you had. Mine starts to jerk a bit then the tacho goes to 4000+ and stays there. No matter what gear i put it in, the tacho does not change. It's as though I'm driving in 2nd gear. Only way to get back to normal is to stop the car and restart.

Did you change the speed sensor yourself. If so was it much hassle and where is it located?

It sounds similar. But my tacho will go up as high as I want to rev it. My gear will get stuck in 2 or 3. While u may have a speed sensor problem, it could be something else as well.

My suggestion is take it to a good mechanic with a good scantool that's able to talk to the ecu/tcm. It should pull up a code You need that code to go on. Don't make the same mistake I did and try to guess the problem.

Btw the speed sensor is located on the gearbox itself. There's two of em. Input and output.

Goodluck let us know how u go

hey wheres the speed sensor located

my cousins car is going through the problem in the limp mode and hes been to so many work shops and when they scan the car it comes up all dese codes which cant be erased and it has nothing to do with the solenoids ay but the codes said it does

P0720 VEH SPD SEN/CIR

P1762 D/C SOLENOID/CIRC

P1752 I/C SOLENOID/CIRC

P1757 FR/B SOLENOID/CIRC

P1772 LC/B SOLENOID/CIRC

P0745 L/Press SOLENOID/CIRC

Ok. Is the car a GT8 or 5sp Auto? Mine is a GT8. So while i'm sure it's exactly the same electrical wise,i can only give you advice based on my transmission.

I'd say that because the Speed Sensor code is at the top of the list might as well give that a fix first.

I recommend taking it for a test drive with the scan tool hooked up and logging the input from the speed sensors and the solenoids. When the problem occurs and the car goes to limp mode you'll definitely see what's causing it in the scan tool.

In my case the speed sensor started going haywire and giving erratic data to the ecu. That's why my car went to limp mode.

The speed sensor is located outside of the transmission housing itself. You need to have good access to the bottom of your car. The input is at the front and output (most likely the culprit) is at the back. You can't miss it.

If you wanna take a shot at fixing this your self firstly check the harness and continuity for the speed sensor (a multimeter would help) if you can rule this out then call any nissan dealer in your area and get a hold of this part : 31935 - 5P002 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) Picture attached.

The input and output uses the same part. So you can swap the input and output if one doesn't fix the problem. This should set you back at least $300.

Goodluck, post back when you have problems/result :thumbsup:

post-63310-0-51322200-1294368409_thumb.jpg

fanx for the the info , its a 5speed auto box

scanned many times and try deleting it & within 5 secs after deleting it , it pops straight back up

will take a look at the sensor first ay, deyv took the whole sum down and check everything and every code and box seems fine so duno wats nxt man

will keep u updated ay

cheers

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
