Doc,

Have not heard this one before. Good luck. I hope you aren't joining the rest of us 2009 owners.

Shawn

 

Dr. Shawn, thanks for the reply. I actually did "join" the rest of the 2009 owners back in 2011 when my trans was replaced. Yesterday was my first track day since then.

I searched for these codes and didn't find any other posts sans just the listings of all possible codes. I'm going back today and will let you know if it stays gone...or not.

 

Hope the codes didn't come back today and all is well.
Hoping to not join the 2009 trans club, would you guys recommend a simple upgrade or wait until there is a problem?
I have an extended warranty but its probably voided with the cobb tune to both ecu and tcm.

Thanks. Don't mean to go off topic.

Not necessarily. If you have a 2009, and the boost isn't too high, and you can unmarry the Cobb before you get to the dealer, you MIGHT get warranty, especially if you show stock fluids inside the tranny, and a good service history. The trick is how you show up at the dealer, and what you have going on in the car at the time.

Car has a midpipe currently, but looking to add intake, dp, injectors, exhaust.
Possible transcooler as well.
Or should i stay relatively stock til itbusts?

 

UPDATE: Here is one of those "I feel really stupid" moments. One other problem I had the first day that I hadn't connected in my mind was that my Traqmate video didn't record anything. The first session on Sunday I had a really strange issue on track. While I never got the trans issue back, the car would not stay in traction control R mode. Once I got any slide going, at all, the T/C would revert back to standard mode and was extremely obtrusive. After checking codes again I got the C1109 code, but no dash warnings.

After texting Chris Heimburg, GT-R tech with Fontana Nissan, he told me to check the battery connections. I thought, "how could that be, I just changed the battery myself a couple of months ago." Luckily I checked. The battery tie-down was loose as was the positive terminal. After tightening those down, all was perfect again.

In retrospect, both codes had power in common. As did the video recording issue.

To NJNYCGTR, as with everything, it depends. Obviously your best chance is being completely stock. But the nature of the trans failure played a huge role, at least for me. I've been modded since Oct 09. My trans went in 2011. But mine was a sensor inside the trans that went out, and it was clearly unrelated to any mods I had. But if you have anything fail remotely related to increased power output, then it's caveat emptor.

My most recent NASA event, my battery tie down was found to be loose. Appears to be a common problem. Didn't think about that, personally.

Thanks for your responses, Shawn. It is members like you who make NAGTROC great!

 

Thanks man. Glad you're still with us. You've been around as long, if not longer than me. Love to see your threads. Always informative.
