Hey fellas new owner here and really need some opinions on what auto electric guys and gearbox mechanics automatic should be looking for to fix this car i just bought any help appreciated. 

1-test drive car and it changes gears into second really hard and erratic on change down scanned car cam up 1772 lc solenoid also maf code 

2-Car is pinging on acceleration sometimes mainly second gear and at idle popping through exhaust. Seems to drive smooth though did have like a spark breakdown at high revs on test drive 

So drove home from brisbane the lights on dash in background flickered once the slip is displaying on dash and vdc after pressing holding button it does not turn on or off

Took it to automatic place he drove car with scanner connected and it popped up speed sensor maybe in auto box or he said something with the abs speed sensor. He said he wanted auto electric guys to check it out as its coming up all these codes. 

I am taking the car to the auto electric guys tomorrow and asking anyone here to help me with suggestions on how the auto electric guys should start diagnosis. 

I used to race quarter mile and built a few race cars carby but have no idea on these skylines but love the shape and setup so hoping someone can give me help before i start blowing money on trying to fix it. 

I know heaps of problems but any suggestions on where to start or simaliar problems others have had cheers !

Car has 2.5 inch staunless exhaust big canons on rear and a round mushroom style pod filter other than that i cant see any other mods

Not easy to mod so pod filter and exhaust probably it. Would have thought transmission shop had a scanner. Ring the auto electricians first and see if they have the Nissan Scan tool - otherwise you might need to go to a Nissan dealer.

I would have thought with air filter and exhaust it would not really throw out gearbox problems with erratic changes and severe shifting second gear but is this something others have had dramas with ? Giy at automatic shop did have scanner attached threw up speed sensor he said . When scanned the 4 days before had lc solenoid maybe had speed sensor as well. He said it is weird throwing all of these codes and before he drops the pan on the box wanted me to take to the auto leckies

Car fixed from 3hrs diagnoses auto electrician earth wire on ecu main computer so if your gearbox is changing hard through gears or jumping into its changes also throwing heaps of codes it could be this. Motor was pinging detonating rattling and misfiring at idle . Now no problems revs clean changes gears no trouble codes. I was nearly about to buy a gearbox for this car .accelerate auto electrics sunshine coast can diagnose even the hardest of problems with skylines!

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
