So not so long ago, i posted a thread about my gt-8's transmission going bad..at least i thought it was the tranny..

The problem went away after an ecu reset and a pedal position relearn.

Just last night the same thing happened again. I was cruising down the freeway doing 100km/h then the it felt like the car's power is cutting out jerking forward and back.

Pulled over, did an ecu reset and off i went again with no problems whatsoever after that.

One thing i noticed though is that whenever i release the accelerator pedal and put the tranny on manual mode, the car would always jump to the third gear. It doesn't matter whether i'm doing 100 or 60 km/h. But if i keep my foot on the pedal when i change the mode it goes to the appropriate gear according to the speed the car's doing.

I've got a feeling that's it's a sensor issue. It's as if the tranny doesn't know how much speed the car is doing when you let go of the accelerator. But which sensor needs checking? How much would they cost to repair?

power cutting out doesn't sound like a transmission problem...hv u taken ur car to nissan to get a diagnostic check for possible fault codes?

i always wait till i get to a complete stop ( at traffic lights) before switching between auto and manual mode...i thought everyone did the same....apparently not ...lol

Haven't really taken any notice about the gaer when i switch to man mode, but I have heard that the five speed box will always go to third, I have 2 mates with M35 stag's and they both go straight to third.

As for changing when stopped it doesn't pose any probs for the box, I would assume that Nissan would have plastered stickers all over and there would have been a note in the manual.

Yeah, i usually change the mode whenever i feel like it. And i've always noticed the gearbox go to the right gear according to my speed. This time it didn't when i let go of the accelerator.

If there is a fault code logged in the ecu wouldn't the check engine light turn on? Man i really need to get my hands on a BlaztII cable.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
