car in question is an r32 gtr. this used to happen occasionally but at the moment (i've been driving it quite frequently) its constant. without the ac on i can feel hot air coming thru the vents and at my feet as well. temp gauge is a tiny bit above half way. is that normal or is that running pretty hot? not sure what it could be. car had a full fluid and filter service just a couple weeks ago. any clues? cheers guys. oh also, last night the speedo needle was shaking heaps.

yeah i'm pretty sure i already tried that, but i'll try again just to make sure. but is the temp gauge normally that high? i know my falcon ran a lot cooler and i know its not a good comparison, but still.

press the recirculate button when a/c is off. fixed.

are you going off the stock temp gauge or one with deg? if so, what temp does it get up to?

anyone know what the safe temp range is ? mine sits anywhere from 80-95 depending on driving

Speedo needle shaking? mine jumps around when sitting at 100-110kmh

yeah its just annoying cuz it didn't used to do that. thought in some crazy way it had something to do with the heat. i'm going of the stock gauge so i'm guessing it may not be so accurate anymore. and yeah, heat problem fixed. can't believe how dumb that was.

If you get hot air when you have the vent open to outside its probably the heater core tap getting stuck open. Mine used to blow hot air at me when i was on the freeway and id stand on it for a few seconds. Probably the increase in water flow thru the core pushing the tap open...

a bouncing or shaking speedo needle is a really strong sign that your speedo cable needs replacing. that cable also controls the steering to some extent. worth replacing it before it dies

Not necessarily true. Before my speedo cable let go, it was working perfectly, no shaking or bouncing, it died suddenly.

And I got it fixed, got an aftermarket one installed profesionaly and now the sucker is bouncing like crazy.

Oh well.

have you had it looked at? maybe ask the blokes that fitted it for you why the needle is bouncing.

i have known of 4 32gtrs a 32gtst and a 180 that all had bouncing needles (my gtr included) and they all turned out to be worn speedo cables. i replaced my cable myself with a genuine new cable from nissan. works perfectly with both speedos that ive had in my car.

im not saying that the speedo cable IS the fault, just a very good chance it is :)

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
