Hey guys, first time posting here.

I've had my m35 stagea for about 6 months now (250t rs our) and i absolutely love this car. ever since about the start of last month it decided to enter limp mode on me. since than i have replaced a lot of parts. Started with plugs and coils and that fixed it for about a week, then i moved onto cleaning the intercooler piping and tb, same thing happened as it was fine for about a week then started going into limp mode again. then replaced the throttle body, maf and accel pedal position sensor and did all the relearn procedures. car ran good for almost 2 weeks! and well this morning on my way to my morning college class it wouldnt even leave my driveway without entering limp mode. I'm honestly at a loss with this car and not sure where to go next with it

Can anyone think of anything else to diagnose? i dont have a scanner of my own to check the dtc's when it enters limp mode but im working on getting one.

to clarify, my stagea is a 2001 with 124000km on it. always maintained properly in my ownership as well.

I had the same problem just recently, going into limp mode  with an nm35 2003 model but is was limping  once a week or 3 times a day .( 149,000k)

There was no perceived pattern.

The mechanic swapped two relays around . one relay was the lights and unfortunately  I can't recall what the other was . PM me if you haven't resolved the problem then  I will visit him Wednesday  for you, as I don't come onto the forum very often. Obviously the relays were interchangeable if that helps.

He mentioned that perhaps there was some moisture or a poor contact. sorry I can't be more useful

Previously when this happened  a few years back, a throttle body was replaced but you have done that already

    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
    • Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
