Just a bit of an update:

Got the car back now and it's working fine.

Few observations were made by the workshop:

1) The issue was the circlips. Apparently there's a TSB on this. Replaced with Willall replacements amongst other things

2) Tranny oil was absolutely black and filthy. I had scheduled servicing done though. Workshop has never seen oil this bad.

3) Had my transmission oil filter changed to a Dodson part. Apparently Nissan Australia does not have a listing on this part.

3) Had my Cobb AP repaired under warranty. Pretty quick turnaround from them.

4) Also had my service done which included diff oils. Apparently they were pretty filthy as well.

All up, it's a LOT smoother now. The only thing is a very faint oil smell from the rears which I can smell more in reverse. I think it maybe residue but i'll leave it for a few weeks to see if it disappears.

Looks like it turned out ok.

I had that same faint oil smell after fluids were changed...didn't last long

Same here, had the 30,000kms service yesterday, oil smell on startup and when arriving home in my garage.

So if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to fix including all diagnostics etc.? I'm looking at a second hand GTR and the transmission issues scare the sh$# out of me :) You have obviously tuned the car, has it been tracked?

Sounds like you got shafted with your services, you paid but they never changed the gearbox and diff oils.......id go back to where you got you car serviced and blast the f**k out of them, you can do this I know because Ive worked at dealerships before, they sometimes hire horrible mechanics who just change the engine oil and filter, sometimes not even the filter and have seen any dickhead mechanics come and go.

Ironically after posting such a detailed post on how to prevent P2832 in this thread, I just got P2832. Looks like I've broken Shift Fork A.

Very tempted to build a box properly, as I have no doubt at some stage I'm going to want 800+whp.

      My BMW 335i

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.

      All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
