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!

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 average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
