Mines coming in next week and its 293x. Would it be a defective car as well? I hope not. Could anyone confirm this? I had a chance to test drove it at another continent ports before shipment and hasn't notice anything on that day. Just a very annoying check "!" light whenever I leave either of the door open while the car is started.

My situations on the weird side of life - my car was shipped from Japan only in May but the chassis number is 265 - so assume the "works" were applied to it when it was sitting at whatever dealer had it.

Lets see when I get it. I know two who are even earlier around here and no one's had a gearbox issue.

Anybody heard of this happening to other cars?

Im having this exact same problem... and i gave my car to the nissan dealership thats where i baught it from they are saying my gearbox broke and they need to replace the whole geabox, im in UAE btw. Do you'll think this is a technical problem or a gearbox problem, because i feel nissan dealership over dont know what theyre talking about.

BLeMS · 18th October 2008, 01:44 PM

ohh because theyre telling me that this is the first case they had in UAE and they dont know how to fix the problem, so its better we order a full new gearbox soo if any1 had any experience with this it would help alot...

tyndago · 18th October 2008, 04:36 PM

The UAE probably doesn't have the Consult III and specific GT-R software/hardware.

I am working on it.

BLeMS · 18th October 2008, 08:47 PM

yeah most probly, and the worst s**t now is theyre telling me your not going to get your warranty because u fit the amuse catback and changed the ecu and i got all this anoyying problem before these modifications, and theyre saying you have been playing around with the programming of the car i was like i just got the ecu replaced nuthing more, theyre telling me your control unit got a malfunction and broke your gearbox, these people have no experience at all with GT-R's in dubai. So they are charging me now about 150,000.00 AED = 23,599.84 GBP wich i think is a complete rip off and they just want to make money instead of fixing such a stupid technical problem if the gear box broke i would not be able to move but the thing is i could move... its just there wernt 2nd and 4th gear, it just skipped those soo obviously it has to be technical..., and they also want to keep my car in the nissan showroom in dubai for 2 months till japan nissan makes a new gearbox and then they also have to ship it.
NISSAN has seriously made a crap weak gearbox for such a monster. ohh and in UAE we have american spec cars.

Is your car a VVIP car or a grey import ?

BLeMS · 19th October 2008, 10:04 AM

its the VVIP one not the grey import.

tyndago · 19th October 2008, 02:33 PM

2-4 skip . If you knew the code that it threw, I could tell you, or how to start looking at the issue.

I posted up the troubleshooting for the P0729 code. 2009 Nissan GT-R: Check Transmission Code P0729

tyndago · 19th October 2008, 02:40 PM

Fail safe mode of the GR6 and codes. It will skip the even gears.

BLeMS · 19th October 2008, 05:45 PM

tyndago thanks alot for the info but the thing is im like seriously lost and if u could help a bit more im kinda new to all this... so like do u think the whole gear box needs to be replaced? or do u have another way to fix this problem.

mindlessoath · 20th October 2008, 02:23 PM

I think anyone should know that aftermarket ecu's would definatly make the warrantee void. why would you do it in the first place if you were having issues to begin with?

Scrappy · 20th October 2008, 04:30 PM

Just pinched off NAGTROC

I posted the LC/tranny issue and the 1G bill on tranny oil issue on the German GT-R Club forum.

One Member is Markus Broemmler, Nissan Performance Center owner and THE man for GT-R s in Germany. He was the first to import R33s, R34s and S15 Silvias and made them street legal over here. Also a lot of experience also on the tuning side.

He was the one who is responsible for "at least" Porsche prices on GT-R brakes in Germany, before it was 425% over Porsche´s price tags.

He had interesting news on the forum.

He imported a JDM GT-R of the first series to be the first to develop mods in Germany, and of course, to sell them.

He says he did about 20 to 30 LC launches ( all with a big smile irock.gif ) because he did not know about the probs and he just did a 10,000 km engine oil change.

He was lucky, because he had a qualified conversation at about 15,000 km. One day before Race Academy on The Ring, he spoke with the German head of development of the Spec-V and he said that Nissan knows about the first trannies being "not 100% safe under heavy driving conditions", meaning that they could malfunction if they were not serviced properly or were multiply launched in a row. These cars need a clutch wheel adjustment regularly which is done by a software update.

Ask your local NPC about that. Or maybe the recent recall did the job.

The European versions will get modified trannies from the first car on. Maybe thats why they stopped the production lines temporarily.

And the last word about the price of the tranny oil is not spoken yet. We have a good chance that this is the same oil that is used on the twin clutch Volkswagen...

Let´s see...
