    Gear Knob Removal

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    Hi all, 

    Bought a shift knob yesterday and was just wondering the best way to install it. I know of the double vice grip method but has anyone actually broken anything from just twisting it off without using them? Purely asking as I dont have vice grips on hand at the moment, and people seemed to have gotten away with just twisting it.

    Thanks

    It can happen on a brand new engine. Unfortunately mass production can have some parts fail however haven't heard of these failing often.

    If you're 100% sure your oil level is correct I would look at the sender (including wiring) and pump as a start.  

    On a separate note when you imported it, were the Kms verified/checked thoroughly to condition etc?

     

    Yep, full dereg and genuine kms, not worn out like a high km car, I'm going to drive it down to my mechanic tomorrow to see if he can mechanically check the pressure, its only a short drive and the car isn't making noises nor is it low on oil so should be ok i think. I'm leaning toward thinking its the sensor.

    2004 V35, Oil light on under braking

    Hey guys,

     

    I just noticed this today, but under somewhat hard braking, my oil light came on. Now I checked the oil before and it seems full, and it was full about a week ago (will check again on cold engine tomorrow morning).

     

    The oil light only very briefly comes on, and goes away when stationary, it never comes on under accelerating, holding speed or normal braking, only hard braking, and if i hit the clutch when I do. 

     

    The car is very low km (53000), and had all fluids changed at 52000kms, so I don't think it could be low.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks

     

    p.s. car is 04 V35 non rev up VQ35DE

    Wheels: 18in Volk CE28 multi studs 5x114.3/5x100

    Seeing if there is interest in these wheels. They are perfect for track or street use, and fit most cars, attached are pictures of the state of wheels, minor curb rash as can be seen in photos, price negotiable. They are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza. Only selling them as they look too small on the v35 in my opinion, otherwise perfect wheels. 

    I will likely be selling sometime in June

    unknown width, offset and tire wear until the car arrives in Aus, will update interested parties with information.

    PM me if interested.

    Looking for around $2800 negotiable, but will swap for stock 350z or v35 18/19s plus cash my way. (or if you have it, a set of CR KAIs in 19inch)

    Can ship at buyers expense.

    Using aux input for obd2 diagnostic?

    Torque may not work. I have hobdrive working in my M35 stagea. I just checked in the pre defined vehicle settings and it lists 2001 v35 skyline. You can download the demo version for free to check if it works. May or may not. I use a vlink elm adaptor thing plugged into the obd port and connect to it via wifi. 

     

    Which vlink adaptor do you use? Do you have a link to it?

     

    also, do you have pics of your setup?

    Try and find proof of someone using one and getting all the OBD data to work with Torque.

     

    Hundreds of people have tried hundreds of OBD devices (I tried a couple of different ones many years ago - none worked). If it were as easy as you say, EVERYONE would have one in their V35s.

    That said, these HKS units do look good and are fairly recent maybe they will work?

    But go ahead - buy all the bits, and if you can get it all to work I will applaud you and follow the exact same route :) Let us know how you go!

     

    Thank you, ill keep digging and let you know how i go.

    Yeah they all say they are compatible with G35s, but their wiring setup is somewhat different to our Jp V35s.

     

    The DTV is just plugged into the AV in for the screen/amp setup in the boot.

    On their website it said nissan v35 with the coupe chassis code. Some people on this website said they had it one theirs, shouldn't it be the same for all jap v35s?

    Your big problem is that almost nothing will talk to the ODBII in our V35s. I am not sure anyone ever has gotten any meaningful data out of our hybrid Canbus/OBDII setup. Happy to be proven wrong though.

     

    Getting the data/display into the factory screen is easy - the amp in the boot has an aux in (that I currently use for DTV).

     

    Ah really? Damn, I think I heard of some and the OB-LINK 2 says its compatible but I'm honestly not too sure.

     

    How does your DTV input work?

    Sure thing. Get the appropriate cable that will plug into your phone's USB to provide you with the respective composite video output and away you go. It won't look as clean and sharp as the real graphics you get from your system (or an R35) but it'll be functional.

     

    Ahh thanks, i think ill grab a cheap android (all i need it to do is receive info and display the torque app), and use the composite video. Is there any examples of people doing this before?

    Using aux input for obd2 diagnostic

    Hi guys, I have been researching on this site, and have gotten a few plans, but I'm just not sure if it will work.

     

    Will it be possible to connect an obd2 link (thinking HKS OB-LINK) with an android device, and use Torque app to display the information? 

    Then run that through the aux input of the navigation system to come through the popup screen, as I would rather use it for diagnostics then something as basic as fuel economy.

     

    I am looking for an end result like the picture attached (from an r35)

     

    Thanks

    Any good audio shops for double din Gold Coast?

    Any good audio shops for double din Gold Coast?

    Hi everyone,

    I am looking at putting a double din unit into my car and then having a screen for audio, AUX, Bluetooth etc as the 2004 model I'm importing does not have iPod input (attached is the photo of my current system).

    Does anyone know good shops on the Gold Coast that can do it? It's a JDM car, so I need someone who has worked on the Japanese market model of the v35, also, if they can do the translation of the pop-up unit that would be great too. I am fine with travelling as long as it's reasonable, i.e. >200KMs

    I would also like to remove the navigation system (2nd Pic) to get the glovebox space back, as I have heard it doesn't work in Australia. Is this possible?

    Thanks,

    Lachlan

     

    P.S. This is my first post, please let me know if I have done anything wrong, thanks.
