I found the weirdest way to reset the CEL, it also displays the CEL code, its the last thing that will reset it or not.

1) turn ignition switch on and wait exactly 3 seconds (make sure your not pressing the brake or throttle)
2) within 5 seconds of step 1, depress the accelerator pedal and then release it 5 times
3) exactly 7 seconds after step 2, depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for 10 seconds until the CEL light starts blinking.
4) you can now let the accelerator pedal go and make note of the code that the CEL is giving you.
5)to reset the CEL, repeat steps 1-4, when you complete step 4, wait 10 seconds, then depress the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds again.
6)release the accelerator pedal, turn off the car, then fully turn on the car (make the engine run).

I did it this morning, thought it was a joke to make me look like an idiot but it worked, so if you just want the code, thats the way to do it, minus step 5 and 6.

according to his post he got a whole new tranny, and it seems it wasn't covered by warranty. OP why didn't they cover it?

Cjanik how did you figure this out?

radio5boro

How'd you manage to blow a tranny with bolt ons and a tune?

ChrisSlicks

The only way to blow up these transmissions is by abuse, obviously Nissan determined it was abuse that caused the transmission. Burning up a synchro is one thing, but blowing the whole transmission is quite another.

NYBladeZ

I figured since he stated he has pulleys and if he didn't take them off and revert to stock prior to going to the dealership it was obivous they were going to void the warranty. Can't go in for a "check engine light" and leave your engine modifications on, whether founded or not they are going to tell you that your pulleys caused extra stress on the transmission and therefore voids the warranty.

Go back through this guy's posts, in one thread he claims to have a TT setup

Also many posts regarding drag racing the vehicle, 500HP, 12.6 quarter-mile times, NOS injection, you name it.

Now somebody ask again why he has no warranty and why he blew a tranny lmao

definitely doesn't have a turbo, and he didn't mention it in this thread. Hope he's not a young kid who thrashed the sh*t out of his car. If that's the case I kinda feel bad looks like he's having ongoing problems. I had the same issue when I was 19, beat the living hell out of a great Mustang GT with bolt ons, blew a tranny pretty quick in that baby.

I'm not sure I believe anything the kid says at this point. He mentioned a TT setup in another thread, but ya not in this one. It's all lies. And in another thread, he's selling a ton of Stillen stuff but then vanishes as folks are trying to get pricing from him
