So as I pulled away from the traffic lights suddenly I had no more gears. Does this mean the entire transmission is gone or could it be torque converter or anything else! I did the ECU test and it came up with code 55 - no faults! 1992 Skyline GTE.

code 55 only relates to engine ecu, not the trans ecu. trans fault codes are relayed via the orange power light on the power/snow light. when you turn ignition on but not start the car the power light will flash a code if it detects a fault.

No orange power light on my dash unfortunately. There's a forum on skylineaustralia.com and it shows fault codes for transmission as well on the ECU test.
Ok, disconnect one of the trans cooler lines that goes to the radiator bottom tank and get someone to start the engine, obviously put a container of some sort underneat the line to catch any oil.You should get a fairly rapid stream of oil come out of the hose or the radiator fitting it was attached to immediately after the engine fires, if you don't then the spline in the converter that drives the oil pump may have stripped, or the pump shaft itself might have broken or sheared hence no oil pressure/flow.If it is still flowing fluid well then something else has gone wrong internally.

OK thanks, I will have a look at that. Will have to wait till next weekend though. damn day job ;)

as far as i know, the only fault that will show on the engine ecu to do with the trans are of the link between the engine ecu and trans ecu is not there

Have the car at normal temperature in Park with the overdrive on Start the engine the power light will go out after 2 seconds Turn the ignition off Move the selector to Drive (you may have to use the push button release) Overdrive off Wait 2 seconds, and turn the ignition on Wait 2 seconds and move the selector to 2 Overdrive on Move the selector to 1 Overdrive Off Press the accelerator fully and release

The error codes are flashed out using the Power light on the dashboard (R32) or the Power / Snow button (R33). The sequence starts with one long flash. If everything is OK, this will be followed by ten short flashes. Errors are indicated by a long flash in the sequence of short flashes.

1st flash longer, Revolution sensor shorted or disconnected 2nd flash longer, Speed sensor shorted or disconnected 3rd flash longer, Throttle sensor shorted or disconnected 4th flash longer, Shift solenoid A shorted or disconnected 5th flash longer, Shift solenoid B shorted or disconnected 6th flash longer, Overrun clutch solenoid shorted or disconnected 7th flash longer, Lockup solenoid shorted or disconnected 8th flash longer, Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or the control unit power source is damaged 9th flash longer, Engine revolution sensor shorted or disconnected 10th flash longer, Line pressure solenoid shorted or disconnected. All flashes the same with no long start flash, Battery voltage low, has been recently disconnected or control unit has just been reconnected

As above said.alsoit couldbe a blocked filter,but unlikely in this case. alsohave youchecked the oillevel. If the pump is not workingit shouldshow higher thannormal.

BTW "spline in the converter that drives the oil pump may have stripped"that bitis not true. You are thinking about the stator spline. If that stripes You will have oil pressure, but no drive. The oil pump is driven off the back of the converter (off the snout)
