Not My Day Today

How did this end up ecl?

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?

These circlips? Seems like a really easy thing to do after it's diagnosed.

Here's another detailed analysis of the circlips

Interesting read

That's why I am asking to see if the were circlips or just thise little clips that go into the actuators.

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.
