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

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.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
