What was the name of the trans specialist down here?

Are you sure it needs reprogramming? They would normally read the data off the old ecu and swap it back on to the new one once the valve body was replaced, using the Consult3, via the OBD2 connector.

Transmission specialist here is Mick Taylor, my car was sitting there for 2 months before I decided this is ridiculous.

When I call back the nissan dealer ill tell them they should be able to do it in house, every company i call asks for my VIN though. As soon as they find out its JDM they can't do anything.

Supposedly some computers have to be changed Leroy

I posted up directions on sau for how to put tranny ecu in diagnostics mode to get fault codes and clear/ reset them. Might be worth checking out yourself and clearing them. I had a similar problem with mine and after clearing the codes the problem disappeared. I hope you will have the same outcome. Good luck either way.

Most (all?) Nissan dealerships will have a local version of FAST and an import version of FAST.

They may be referencing this when they say "have to change computer", meaning that they have to physically get up and move to the computer that has the import version of FAST on it.

This may be seen as too much effort for some.

EDIT: Yes, I understand how salty I am. Sue me.

It's all done on the Consult3 Toughbook, no need to move desktop computers Cam. :P

Yes there is only one program, and they need to change the software to JDM but a good diagnostic tech can do that easily.

Found out the valve body itself doesn't need any programming, it's the mechatronic unit attached to the valve body that needs to be programmed. Currently the mission is finding a new valve body and mechatronic assembly.

      Looking at the photos, you could easily just drop this pipe and dump into atmosphere  Just 1 or 2 quick hits for data acquisition - if have a heat shield material and/or sheet metal, maybe just use wire/metal cable ties and attach it in a way to deflect heat from melting nearby wires.

      Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.

      Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways.

      I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.
