So drove down the southern highlands from sydney today. On the way home near heathcote, car suddenly feels like its losing power and I get a TCM error.

Pull over and restarted the car cool down and tried restarting but still had the error. Had my Cobb on me but for some strange reason, after plugging in, it just loads the AccessPort screen.

Anyways, realised the car only had 1,3 and 5 gear and was in limp mode (I think) as it feels the car limited my speed to under 40 km/h.

Will be taking it to the workshop on Monday (out of warranty and cobbed so doubt Nissan will like that) but from reading, I suspect it could be a solenoid or sensor. Though it obviously could be something more serious =(

If you have had the issue before, could you shoot me a PM please =)

Thanks

if it was something major the car wouldn't be driveable

most likely pressure sensor or solenoid

either way nissan dealer wont attempt to trouble shoot beyond ecu codes, their suggested and only fix will be a replacement trans - dealers aren't mechanics

best put the car on a truck and send it to willall

Most probably pressure sensor fail...same problem I had.

Dont bother will Nissan...if your car is modded they will diagnose then charge you to say they cant help.

If you want to transport your car to Willal in Adelaide by someone who cares about your car let me know

They managed to pull the codes using their AP but I didnt ask them what they were as I was flat out today. I'll ask them tomorrow but they mentioned they got the usual plus one they haven't gotten before.

They also cleared the codes and it drove fine again for a bit. Then they went from 5th to 6th and the the transmission oil pressure shot up to double and the the t/m malfunction and limp mode came back on. I'm assuming this is pressure sensor or related.

In any case, the gearbox is coming out tomorrow to get fixed.

P2832 - Shift Fork 'A' Position Circuit Range/Performance

Solution for the aftermarket appears to be the TSB Clip (assuming your car is 2011+).

Taken from 'Jacks Transmissions': ( http://www.jackstransmissions.com/pages/gtr-gr6-clip-tsb )

The shift pistons in the valve body make contact with the forks and move them into position. If these pistons wear, the forks and sliders will no longer shift properly and can be damaged. This is a common problem with the GR6. Prevention is to perform this TSB.

We have never encountered these problems again after performing this TSB so it has become standard procedure to install clips in every unit we touch.

APPLIED VEHICLE:2009 – 2011 GT-R (R35)

For 2009 - The MIL is on and DTC P0729 (6GR Incorrect Ratio) is stored,
For 2010 - The MIL is on and DTC P0729 (Sleeve A1 Function) is stored,
For 2011 - The MIL is on and DTC P2832 (Shift Fork A) is stored,


Here is a picture below of the wear. Note the circled area. It doesn't look like much, but that is enough to cause thousands of dollars in damage:

The clips will allow for better contact with the piston and prevent the wear or failure.

There are a series of magnets inside the piston which will become out of range of the sensor if the assembly wears too far. This will prevent the system from recognizing where the piston is moving and the unit will shift the fork too far as it doesn't know the forks location. This is what will break the fork along with the slider. This simple TSB solves any issue you could ever encounter with the fork or sliders. Well worth performing while you have your pan out and this TSB can be completed while the trans is in the vehicle.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
