Yup , but i am talking about my experiences and i am not an expert or in a position to compare any brands . Everything you mentioned about iraq is completely accurate. Fuel is disgusting lower than 95 octane but i am using different additives like marvel mystery oil etc for better quality. Also shipping those parts from Iraq to Europe or usa costs a fortune . 22$ per KG and its the last thing you wanna do to ship a trans over 200kgs to for such repair.
Bye Bye GT-R and never ever again !

First off, sorry you’ve had such a horrible experience with your GT-R. Although it is possible for your trans to be a lemon (certainly an anomaly), it’s more likely previous owner abused it and then passed these issues onto you. Did you buy it directly from the previous owner or from a car dealer? In any case, I understand your desire to move on, but you’ll probably take a hit on value or be passing this off to someone else in the same manner you got it (not a good move). Sending it to Shep trans in the US for examination and repair would be the best thing to do - spend the money to have it done right and be able to finally enjoy the car. Just my opinion.
only the shipping to US and back will cost me around 10k except sheps trans

What did you do about the DTC P0882?
It was the relays in trunk , wasn’t tightened to anywhere so probably with that bumpy road it hit hard and lost the power

That`s good. So now if your oil pan doesn`t leak you don`t have any more problems to solve? Is that correct ?
i still do actually, my gear changes are so jerky and bumpy . The previous owner told me that he has changed the trans and tcm but never programmed it or does clutch relearn

Okay, so a clutch relearn is maybe all you need? That`s not much of a problem either if it solves your issues.
I think you`re giving in a bit too early.
Purchase the EcuTek bluetooth interface and give it a go it`s roughly about $300.

Are you sure? Because last time I checked tcm and ecu model it costs around 1200$with licenses and + if you need tuning from a tuner

You are correct, $1200 for a tune+licences but if you only want to do a clutch relearn download the app and purchase a Bluetooth interface.
If you`re not satisfied with the result after a relearn you can always sell the interface again and get your money back.

Transmission Clutch Touchpoint Re-learn with EcuTek
So, being long out of warranty and needing to perform a clutch touchpoint re-learn and engine bank balance, I contacted GT-R certified dealers in my area to get quotes for both services. Well, I was a bit shocked that the least expensive quote I received was for $400. At this point, I began...

It`s just to keep your fingers crossed now that everything works out well.
A couple of points if you`re gonna keep the car (which I recommend) are, to get that bluetooth interface and do a periodical relearn.
Secondly, why did you use RTV on the oil pan instead of a new gasket? Even though you have two filters in the trans you do not want silicone sealant in there.

I have installed a gasket previously but it leaked because the edges of oil pan is not in good shape so we needed silicone sealant to prevent it from leaking . I dont know but i almost forgot about what happened and enjoyed driving it again 😂 Most probably if i keep it , i will buy ecutek and get it tuned by litchfield stage 1 610 hp with some cool back fires after installing downpipes

Sorry to hear this. It’s a special car and rightfully has a cult like following.
Maybe someday you’ll be back, never say never.
Enjoy the YouTube videos for now - I’ve got quite a few cruising with other cars as well.
Best of luck with your next platform
