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.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
