Hey guys I hope I'm posting in the right forum.

I have a 2009 skyline v36 370 gt. and it started giving me some problems.

1.Inside the interior started to get hot where the pedals are located.

2. it would make ticking sounds.

3(here is where the problem accelerated im not sure all of this is connected. I was riding on a hill and accelerated then as I accelerated my car could not Drive up the hill my rpms were at about 3-4 regular speed but it couldn't do it.

I parked it pushed in reverse and drive it moved.... but as I drove off it sounded like the engine was working but straining at the same time but I was unable to move regularly. 

I left it parked up for about 2 days trying to find a mechanic. Found one he ran a diagnostic test on it. the test code p0734 came up.... He told me it may need fluid, solenoid may need to change and some other details..

 

But we let the car run at idle to see if any more scans would appear... nothing showed we took it for a drive for about 15 mins, the car seemed fine as if the problem never happened.

\Does anyone know what could be the problem?

The code is definitely transmission related but if it seems OK now, perhaps it was a sticky solenoid. Either way, as GTSBoy suggested, take it in to an auto transmission specialist, preferably one who knows these Nissans reasonably well.

I don't know how easy or difficult it is to take out the valve body and check the components within, including solenoids but in light of what you experienced and the nature of the error code, it's definitely worth doing in case the fix is cheaper than a rebuild. Don't let it linger for too long, even if it is seemingly OK again now.

Best advice given I appreciate it. Its just that im located in The Bahamas and finding a good mechanic is really looking for a needle. in a haystack. Everyone is looking out for their pocket so they may tell me anything just to get the job. Ive been doing research about the ATF Fluid and from what I gather only the Nissan metic s fluid is what's best to use. Funny thing is no store on the island has it! 

aw man so im ordering a case and parking her up until I can get the fluid and hopefully find a good mechanic in that space of time

Bugger. You've got it pretty tough over there, eh?

Good idea to stay off the road until you can get it looked at properly though. You don't want to strip more life off the transmission than it may already have. Good luck mate.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
