Dreadnought

Ok, some progress, with many thanks to Deep, Max and Vi! A fuseable link was blown, and a dead alarm transponder, all of which I am replacing now. Loose cabling and degraded casing looks to have shorted or arced, fusing the link (could this have fried the transponder too or was that just bad timing?) Hopefully that should get it back up and running... I did reconnect the battery and get dash lights, window etc working, but the engine is still immobilized currently. Again, thanks for the assistance all, really appreciate it.

Thanks Max, battery is within the ranges you've noted (except the starter wont turn over at all), and I agree the fuses and alarm are the next suspects. I did have a good look in the fuse box, couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, but will look again. I'll look to add information on the viper alarm too, in case that assists with diagnosis. +1 mate, really useful info in all your responses and appreciate the time you took to detail the systems and loads. I will look at each section of your suggestions closely tonight and report back. I have some tools/access to others, but almost no expertise with the V35 and its electrical systems in general unfortunately, beyond the basics and common sense, as I'm sure you can tell If you're talking motorbikes though, that's another story! Vi, appreciate the response. You did suggest jump starting it in your initial post, and I never claimed I didn't, so I'm sure you meant to say something like "informed" rather than "admitted". Unfortunately, I definitely didn't screw up negative / positive on the jump either, which would have made for easier, if somewhat more embarrassing trouble shooting. It was started mid-way through the 20 days and driven, not just idle'd to warm. I have queried the test pilot (my father) extensively and cant seem to fault him on this either. The battery still seems to show charge even now too, albeit unable to be tested under starter motor load. Am I right in assuming the car should have turned over while jump starting, unless fuses had blown or fused a link or something? I didn't even tick over once... and I still had no dash, interior or alarm lights, and was still receiving no response from the alarm transponder... I think the general consensus is right though, fuses, fused links and alarm/transponder are the next things I'll look at. Thanks all for the help so far, hope to solve this shortly and report back. If not I'll have to call out a professional with I guess. Welcome any additional ideas/suggestions too

Hey Vi, thanks for the swift response, I tried both jump starting and disconnected the battery and checked it with a multi meter. Its is only down as far as is needed to break the seal to open the door. I dont think that indicates the door was open until the battery drained, and the window motor was replaced in May

Hey SAU, Any help appreciated... I'm not sure what the problem is, nor how best to solve it. I'm just back from a few weeks of leave, left the car in the garage for 20 days. Got my folks to start it once, with detailed instructions, and was all ok from their feedback. Yesterday and, as usual, tried to unlock using the viper alarm fob and got nothing. Unlocked the door manually and tried to start it, still nothing. - no response from the transponder on the alarm fob - no lights on the dash or on the alarm LED - drivers window is slightly down as per normal opening, and mirrors are still tucked in I quickly checked the forum and have replaced both the Nissan key battery and alarm battery, then checked the car battery as well, all seem fine. Does anyone know what this issue is, or recommend someone who does house calls in Melbourne? Cheers - Andrew (2003 V35 coupe manual nismo/anniversary edition)

White coupe on white Volks/Rays in Ormond St Kensington on Friday night. Looks nice, get on here and make yourself known.

Tangcla? I will have to get my wash on...

Lol, as it turns, out after a 2 second search, they do have a site (http://garagecafe.com.au/index.html), but doesn't seem to have a calendar/forum to post club meets

Agree with Night, this is the most asked topic of late, heaps of info in recent threads. Not jumping on you, but everything is covered more extensively there, and keeping the V board relevant is pretty important. and G35... so I'm guessing not RHD (JDM is an overused search term now) Import monster and Yahoo Auctions Japan are the best places to search out the options. I haven't seen the twin side by side projectors in RHD, all others are available in both colors (Silver or Black surround)

Ah, yes, $300 or nearest offer Poor spacing on my part

double post

Sounds good, see you there. Wish GC would get a website so we can see which car clubs are scheduled to come that night (patent pending)

I think they only run 5 Degrees, which are you running now? SPL group buy? I need fronts to fit the new square 11s, haven't seen the rears, but if they have similar adjustment ranges to SPC then I'm sold....

Ah ok, I only really need the fronts, I might be out then.

I was able to successfully negotiate through this nightmare with the RWC on a bike I imported (Im no import expert though) I had access to a stock exhaust and the other required parts, and convinced the mechanic doing the RW it wasn't worth their time to spend a day swapping the parts around and then back. They did check each and every part for fit and damage, and I did swing them some cash for it, but I didn't actually have to remove anything. Good luck

2-tone Silver & Matte orange vinyl wrapped V35 at Surrey Hills Station on Monday. Interesting color choice, I will post some photos later.

Good Blog,spotted a shot of us looking at cars out the front and one of mine in the street. So Gwyn was the one wandering around with the tripod I take it?

7-7:30 for me too, see ya there

After looking at the options and details, I'm in for both front and rear, assuming they are cheaper than ordering separately. Confirmed List Front Kit kvnz88 Dreadnought Rear Kit kvnz88 falconcoupe Dreadnought

Interested in the rotors, when are you thinking they will be available?

I'm interested, also looking at the SPL fronts Has anyone done a comparison based on adjustable camber range?

I'll come down

Champion, thanks Nate

Yeah they are the best for sure Big... NASA parts. Easy way to drop $1k on camber though... for front and rears. Only reasons holding me back on SPL is the available camber range (they seemed lower than others, more for track correction I think) and the geometry (cant confirm if they knock when lowered this much, I'm flat on the lower rings all around) SPC fronts are similar in design to the others (not SPL), but have poly bushings (not rubber) and put less stress directly on the weld seams (+1 internetz) Maybe I'll do the brake upgrade before I tackle camber.
