Hey Guys,

Im a proud new order of a 300GT sedan, but as i was driving home the engine light turned on.

Now when i turn the car on, theres a small announcement in Japaneses about it, as it shows up on the screen.

I was reading on the G35driver website and they said check the oil. ive checked it and even replaced the oil and filter

but the light is still on.

Has any1 had problems with the engine light on the dash?

Thanks,

Joey.

I have had problems with it for a week...

Do this:

Turn ignition on (dont start it)

Wait 3 seconds

Press the accelerator down fully and release it 5 times within 5 seconds

Wait 10 secs

Press and hold the accelerator down fully for 10 secs (at the 10 second mark the engine light should start blinking...

Now it will blink 10 times slowly and then blink the error code...

To clear the codes press the accelerator down fully again and hold for another 10secs let it go wait 10 seconds and turn the ignition off.. This will clear the codes.. but wont stop the light coming back on if there is still a fault somewhere.

You can download the workshop manual from 350z-tech.com it tells you all about it and the codes and what they mean.

Ive been systamatically checkin every damn sensor in mine for the last few days.. If ur in brissy by all means bring it down to the workshop and ill have a look at it for ya..

Hey Mate,

That worked a treat...it took me a few times for it to get into that dionostic mode (or whatever you call it)

The engine light stayed off, no problem with the car. YAY!!!!!!!

1 problem solved...now onto the next...stupid clicking noise on the cd player!!!

Thanks again!!

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
