Hmm okay so two questions.

Do you have to buy a “service TCM” 2010 compatible from Nissan and have it flashed with the latest software revision, or will a used TCM from a salvage 2010 trans part number be able to be reflashed at the dealer?

I am surprised they were willing to update a VQ TCM in a VR transmission. My dealer said it’s all modified now, and didn’t act like they wanted to update my TCU which is still on the original 2010 flash program. Guess I could call another dealer.

The update was done prior to the VR install; however, how would they know I have a VR trans. anyway if I don't tell them? I HIGHLY doubt they're going to poke around under the car to determine whether or not the trans. is OE when they are getting paid to perform and update or marriage to ECU. None of the electronics change in the swap just "dumb" hard parts so in that regard it's not modified.

Don't tell any dealer you swapped trans.' and just have them update.

Removed the crap Godzilla Racing driveshaft for VR60 trans. swap as it threw the weight the local driveshaft shop had to swap in due to receiving it from Godzilla out of balance and with much vibration.

Only a few thousand street miles on it and a U-joint was already shot! Shop installed new non-serviceable joints and it balanced within spec. without needing additional weight.

None too happy about the serviceable joints slinging grease all over the undercarriage.

Contacted Godzilla the 2nd time about the balance issue (they ignored me the first) and told me because I altered it (1st go when replacing the balance weight), I'm out of warranty. I hardly consider that altering, it's the same as replacing wheel weights IMO. They've had every excuse in the book including adjusting non adjustable (per FSM) driveline angle.

Even if I were in warranty, the process is to ship it back to them, which would cost more roundtrip than if they simply reimbursed me for the original balance of $75 which I provided an invoice and before and after balance weight pics. Not to mention downtime. No wonder so many small businesses crumble!!

Also, they did mention other customers are having the same issues. :shakes head:
