03 V35 5At Issue

Hey guys,

I have a 2003 V35 5AT and recently developed an annoying problem.

When driving in 'Auto' mode, there are harsh 'thud' everytime the auto trans gear changes. If I put the pedal to the floor, I have a little bit of wheel spin that I can feel. When I try to put it to 'Manual' mode, the screen in the dash still remains as 'D' rather than the gear number it would be in if using Manual mode.

Note. The problem first started when I washed my car 'Airred out'. I have air suspension installed. The problem went away the next day and didn't reoccur until yesterday (after a weekend of semi hard driving in the mountains) when the rain started pouring down and I 'airred out' on the wet floor. Not sure if this is relevant, but I've been trying to figure out the circumstances that have occured prior to this issue. The problem on my G35 is still ongoing (as with the wet weather). Despite the hard driving over the weekend, the problem didn't immidiately reoccur. It's taken it several days for it to come back so I've ruled out my driving style as the problem that would cause my 5at issue.

Thoughts guys? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Code for the box was 'overtemp' so I suggested a cooler for the auto.

There were two other codes more pressing, abs wheel sensor and engine knock sensor, which we are planning to look at further. I suspect the wheel sensor might be causing extra load on the gearbox, which may have caused the overheat, but the sensor will have to be swapped before that is confirmed.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
