P2263 on Nissan by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The 2023+ Nissan Z uses the VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (shared with Infiniti) which develops a wastegate rattle at idle and low RPM. The internal wastegate actuators develop play, creating a metallic rattling sound. While primarily a noise issue, it can indicate wastegate valve wear. Nissan has acknowledged the issue but not issued a formal recall.
Common Symptoms
- Metallic rattling at idle
- Rattle during cold start
- Noise from turbo area at low RPM
- Rattle diminishes under boost
- Check engine light in severe cases
How to Fix
Dealer may replace turbocharger assembly under warranty if noise is excessive. Aftermarket turbo blankets can dampen the noise. Some tuners install external wastegate setups to eliminate the issue entirely. Cost if out of warranty: $2,000-4,000 per turbo.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2263 mean on a Nissan?
P2263 stands for "Turbo/Supercharger Boost System Performance." This code means the computer has detected that the turbocharger or supercharger boost system is not performing as expected, even though no single sensor circuit has failed. The computer compares the actual manifold boost pressure against the target it commanded and sets this code when they don't match for a sustained period. You may notice low power, sluggish acceleration, or limp mode. It signals an overall boost shortfall and usually points to leaks, a failing turbo/charger, or a control component rather than a specific wiring fault. On Nissan it is documented across 1 model: Z.
What are the most common causes of P2263?
The most common causes of P2263 are: Boost/intake leak in piping, hoses, or couplers, Failing turbocharger or supercharger, Stuck or faulty wastegate or boost control actuator, Faulty boost/MAP pressure sensor, Clogged or damaged charge air cooler (intercooler), Sticking variable-vane (VGT) mechanism on diesels, Faulty boost control solenoid or vacuum supply, Restricted air filter or intake restriction. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
