V35 03 Coupe Automatic Issues

Hey not sure exactly how to describe the problem which is making it hard to search for an existing answer but here goes...

As of a few days ago I will be driving along and the D icon on the console will dissapear and show nothing at all (when in tiptronic mode this displays the gear selected etc) once this happens I can no longer engage tiptronic mode and select gears etc. The car will still change gears on its own no problem. If I turn the car off and back on it will return to normal and allow me to use tiptronic etc. The frequency with which this is happening has increased to almost every time I drive the car now so want to sort asap.

Is it likely to be a cable/wiring issue or have I got a bigger problem? The car is not entering limp mode and I am not throwing any codes to suggest it's an ecu issue...

Any help would be appreciated cheers

Good point I will check that. I bought the car not long ago and the trans has been worked over with upgraded torque converter etc and transgo kit to suit the supercharger so it shouldn't be a service issue but who knows. Will look at fluid and report back in a few hours

Fluids all good. I'm 99% sure its a centre console connection problem. As it was taken out s few weeks back. Just odd that it has happened only in the last few days with no change to things for weeks. Will check connections again in the morning.

Sounds like it is going into limp mode.

Get the car scanned for error codes.

Might be as simple as the plug on the drivers side from the loom is loose, it has a clip to hold it in, might not have been replaced after fitting.

Or on the other hand it might be something deeper inside the trans. Solenoids or the like.

I have seen many issues with wiring inside the trans after hack transgo installs, it could be a good idea to get the pan dropped to look for wires catching in the gear lever linkage if they didn't clip the loom back in properly.

Other than that, make sure the plugs are clean, dry and pushed home on the transmission ecu.

      Google tells me that's a Japanese Rat Snake... 2m long? Man I think Australia has traumatised me to think all snakes are dangerous unless they're pythons. Also... "16 years later..." is that a record on SAU @PranK?

      Yep, I really miss mine. I dont, however, miss it's understeer. Hard to find a genuine 'Sport' model these days. That sounds awesome! Good fun and great result!  I'd love to do a 1/4 in mine now that its reasonably healthy with the tune. I last did a run in my white GTR, I think it was a 12.3 and I can't remember the mph and I think the little E90 might be quicker.

      FWIW, I made 372kW on a Mainline dyno, with a stock motor (bar head studs & usual bolt ons) on E85 (pretty timid timing in the mid range) and it blew up after a year of track use. Probably got like 5~6 Wakefield track days and 1x skid pan somewhere in between.

      Plus, if you want to shoot for over 300rwkW, the Z32 won't really cut it and retaining the PowerFC is getting to be a poor choice. You're going to be much happier with management that can actually see what's going on and have a hope of stopping it from going bad when something breaks (think oil pump). So, the $$ situation is probably different to what you think it is.

      350-400kw will not keep that basically stock motor basically stock very long, especially for track only use. It will decide to need a rebuild pretty quickly. I'd go smaller, and not cheap out with a Pulsar item based on older tech. Get a G25 550/660. Just better in every way. Don't think about changing a turbo until AFTER you change your injectors (S15 injectors x6? What CC are those?) and coils/fuel pump. They won't keep up with any aftermarket turbo.
