Can anyone explain how the fuel door works on the 350 GT (2003 model). Sometimes mine (rarely) flicks open when the remote is used and other times it remains locked and I have to get to the lock throught the boot to release it.

Also has anyone had troubles with the driver's power window and central locking?

Body Control Module- it operates 90% of the car - if something is out of kilter then things stop working. inputs are resistive on these so if the input (IE switch ) stuffs up - no worky.

Can you let me know more about the BCM - how to find out if it is faulty, do you replace it or can it be fixed or reprogrammed, is it a common fault, where is it? Thanks

Hey guys,

This is going to sound REALLY odd. But I had exactly the same thing, I'd lock my doors and my fuel cap door would pop out. My fix: I switched on the mirrors tucking in when the car is locked. It no longer pops.

Freaky, eh?

My fuel door must be faulty as it will not lock when the car is locked.

There's a little solenoid which drives a plastic lock that engages with a catch in the fuel door to lock it. Locks when the rest of the car is locked. Look just inside the door and on the left you'll see the mechanism.

Apparently it is quite common for the solenoid to die - the one in mine was dead. From what I've heard fairly easy to replace if you can source a replacement solenoid.

Those who were having trouble with the door popping out - could be due the catch that engages with the lock on the fuel door being mis-aligned. Check if the catch on the door is bent or twisted in any way.

Chris - the winding up of windows when the car is locked - are you saying this can be programmed by the dealer on any V35? Or is it dependent on a sensor being there as well?

depends - have seen dealer fitted units that do it. unsure if it can be done via consult3. I'm working on this one anyway as I want to do a snazzy alarm on one and close everything with a push of a button.

any one got fast for a V36 yet?

Mine can...... bummer....

As I said in my post - busted solenoid actuator...

This is what you need, first part on the list since it looks like you have a Coupe (I think...):

Riverside Infiniti was one of the better places to source V35 parts though I gather the guy who was really helpful has left so maybe find another dealership. They all seem to use the same parts catalog system so shouldn't be too hard to locate this part again. In any case make sure you check that it is the correct part before ordering!

Or just source it thru Nissan...

well, kptechnologies (http://www.kptechnologies.com) make a unit that has been made specifically for the G35 to do just this

go to their website, go to products, then select "wondow roll-up"

they sell it for USD$50

not sure if it can be integrated into our car due to wiring differences between G35 and V35 but i'll throw it out there for those interested..

KP Technologies also do a unit which dips the side mirror(s) when you put it into reverse - tempted to get that and the window roll up unit... Though I should just build one myself, wouldn't be hard to do with a small micro...

my mirrors dip already when i put it into reverse, i think its combined in the reversing pack with the camera :P

although interstingly, when chris had my camera disconnected for a while, the mirror dipping still worked.. maybe there is a separate control module or its already got the provision for it as standard on the V35?

this was never an option for the G35, thus why KPtechnologies has made that module for them..

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
