Hi All,

Hey I have this issue with my 2010 V36. Best described by something I stole off the net below. From my extensive Google research I reckon I need the attached ECM update.

It's pretty bad. Every time I'm driving on a highway at over 100km/h and I decelerate and the car engine brakes, it shuts down and goes into a limp mode where it won't go above 30km/h and starts jolting violently if I accelerate. If I have no road shoulder to use I am screwed. If I pull over and turn off the car off for 30 secs its back to normal, until it happens again. Happened 5-times one way from Sydney to snow last year.

If I drive where my foot is always slightly accelerating or braking it doesn't happen. But I as soon as I coast and let the car decelerate above 100km/h it will happen.

  • Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
  • Does anyone know a fix? I plan to clean the MAF's with CRC cleaner. Have done the pedal ECM reset sequence.
  • Does anyone know anyone who can do this update who isn't Nissan or Infiniti as, they aren't overly helpful
  • Has anyone had the ITB09-028 ECM update from Nissan?
  • I have aftermarket cold air intakes and an Uprev flash tune

I reckon the ECM needs the ITB09-028 update I have attached. Any thoughts on this?

Here is how I would describe the issue based on some G37, owners issue:

POWER TRAIN

Apparently on 2009 infiniti g37s, there is a programming error/deficiency in the electronic engine control module (ecm) affecting the processing of the mass flow rate sensor that will cause the engine to unexpectedly (and without a dash warning indicator) to lose power. at occurrence of the failure, the car will decelerate from highway speed to less than 35 mph within a few seconds. following the failure, the engine rpm will not exceed 2,400 rpm and speeds above 35 mph are impossible (i found that 4th gear is the highest gear selectable). this failure can be dangerous in a number of traffic situations. i have learned from an infiniti service dept. that the failure will temporarily correct itself if the engine is turned off for a period of time, but that the failure could reoccur. the car's ecm was re-programmed by towbin infiniti (las vegas, nv) on august 30 and that supposedly fixes the failure. while at towbin, the service man said that infiniti knows of the problem, but is waiting to see how wide-spread the problem is. owners have not been told of this problem. towbin service said they have seen about 300 cases of the problem. a salt lake city dealer service dept. had also heard of this problem. again, i feel this problem can be dangerous, because: if it were to occur in heavy traffic, it may be difficult to get out of the way of others; if it were to occur when turning in front of oncoming traffic; after it occurs, there is no way to keep up with higher speed traffic - one is left going slow and hoping no one rear ends me; without more information, i have no way of knowing if the problem has really been fixed.

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
