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.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
