1 The attached image is a 12v car spotlight It was connected by a red wire and a black wire I replaced the bulb but didn't notice the hidden brown wire until a few days later !!!! I do not know if the brown wire was originally attached . Can I ignore the brown wire? 2 The connection on the brown wire is half the size of the black and red connections. There does not seem to be a connection point for the brown wire. This spotlight came off another vehicle years ago . 3 Maybe the auto electrician who originally wired the system only need a red and black wire to be connected? it's a H2 halogen bulb which costs $31 and difficult to source so I am reluctant to experiment with switching wires. to see what does and does not work. 4 If I connect it without the brown wire ,will it stuff things up? I now have only the red and black wires re-connected. If they are connected back the front will that cause a problem? Thanks in advance

No idea of what was needed . I just forked out the money to make the car compliant. The fob is an auto watch. so an autowatch immobiliser

Had a glitch up loading but here is the spare key

Where can I go to replace a remote ignition key which activates an alarm system and also opens and locks the. doors ? The key was stolen but we have a duplicate which engages and disengages the alarm system , locks the doors and starts the car . I am not even sure if what I have was standard for the NM35 or is an aftermarket alarm. If after market it was installed in Japan. I have a short black thing on my key ring( a RF transponder??????) about3 cm longhand 10mm wide which has to be near the ignition for the car to start I have a personal import NM 35 so the Nissan dealer doesn't want to deal with this vehicle regardless of the issue.!!!!! thanks in advance

I had the same problem just recently, going into limp mode with an nm35 2003 model but is was limping once a week or 3 times a day .( 149,000k) There was no perceived pattern. The mechanic swapped two relays around . one relay was the lights and unfortunately I can't recall what the other was . PM me if you haven't resolved the problem then I will visit him Wednesday for you, as I don't come onto the forum very often. Obviously the relays were interchangeable if that helps. He mentioned that perhaps there was some moisture or a poor contact. sorry I can't be more useful Previously when this happened a few years back, a throttle body was replaced but you have done that already

Which model phone are you using to read the data. Its not compatible with Pixel 2 I believe, which is what I have.Pixel 3 is ok I have access to an iPhone 6 which I believe will work How good is the HKS product ,as it will be a $300import from Japan plus gst. I was hoping for a solution around half that price but if its a killer tool then I can be swayed will it do a Mazda 3 or skyline1996 or most vehicles beyond 2010? I just read a comment that Carscope plus is not supported by IOS13and that the HKSunit was useless https://apps.apple.com/us/app/carscopeplus/id689888262

Thanks but I have a VQ25DET motor in the series 1 ,2002 stage NM35 which isn't in the list josh supplied. Thanks for the link but there seems a few issues one you search through the comments. I will follow up and see if I get a response. Is anyone certain which protocol is used by Nissan for the OBD 2 tool eg Ancel BM700 OBD scanner definitely won't work.

Which scanner auto code reader will be able to successfully read OBD2 protocols of a 2002 Nissan Stagea NM35. Does this car have protocol KWP2000/ISO 14230-1 It has a VQ 25 motor thanks

I want to buy a OBDII tool for a Stagea NM35 ASX. My vehicle has been going into Limp mode infrequently and 2 different mechanics have not been able to work out the problem. Strangely, clearing the error code seems to help for a while. I returned to the original thread, by Scotty NM35, to read the history from 2009 , but the external links either produce a 404 error, or the info is gone. A popular diagnostic unit I read about out was a FIXD engine health tool but it seems from the comments of the forum , the NM35 is an odd setup for OBDII diagnostics and its hit or miss if the particular brand works. If I get a unit, I need to be able to reset the codes and know what each code means. Thanks in advance Any information much appreciated.

Thanks for the info

I will go back and verify with mechanic about error codes

I have a thermal camera. How do I know a fault from normal operation ? Thanks

Thanks robbo, Yes ECU checked but The age of the car means the ECU doesn't provide a comprehensive a examination .Fuel pump replaced 5 years ago, however the problem is intermittent. Wouldn't a fuel pump tend to be more regular with problems . I thought may have had a fuel problem as well ,so have been using Fuel doctor. Ignition coils replaced with spitfires about 40k ago No doubt these are legitimate areas to focus on. Other comments welcome thanks

My professional mechanic who is very enthusiastic about my 1996 RB 25 skyline ER 33 2500cc naturally aspirated engine The car has done 280000 km. The motor stops randomly at times and infrequently. Maybe once a week,once every 3 weeks of short city driving , after 100 km of continuous driving or after just 10 km driving!!! My mechanic cant determine the problem He seems very knowledgable about this vehicle and has one of his own. He is a manager at an auto shop. No rhyme, reason or pattern why this problem will occur . Although the stalling never happens when the engine is cold The stalling tends to happen more often at the traffic lights when having braked but it can happen on the highway.The car will not start immediately but if you wait a minute or so, it will start. All electrical power is present. The mechanic gave the skyline a bit of a tune and adjusted the idle. It had a standard 100k service with platinum plugs about 40,000 km ago . It has had an oil change and filter 1000km ago. The symptoms seemed to mimic a Cam angle sensor problem although there was no back firing . That was all he could think of . So I decided to have the sensor replaced (brand new ) even though he didn't or push the idea. That was an Expensive exercise ! $550 for the part Recently I noticed black exhaust but the can angle sensor replacement seems to have made that problem disappear? why would the black smoke disappear? Anyway, how can I narrow down the problem to determine the car stalling on the highway and at the lights? All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Again the tail gate wouldn't open but disconnecting the battery worked a charm!
