EDIT:

ok this thread has had a total re-do now that i have actually done this

so i read on the G35driver forums how much better it would be to have the tiptronic around hteother way, and i've got to say now that i totally agree! i have just switched it around and its infinately better!

that is..

PULL BACK = next gear

PUSH FORWARD = previous gear

here's a DIY way to change the direction ofthe tiptronic in 15mins of less, for only $5, and that is totally reversible!

the original thread that i thank for giving me the knowledge of which wires to find:

http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122292

tools needed:

- side cutters

- plyers

- 2*blade connectors - female

- 2*blade connectors - male

- electrical tape

time needed:

15mins

picture 1:

pull the centre part of your dash off using info on these forums

you will see a few wires which run around behind the gear selector and these are involved in the tiptronic switching

locate the 2 wires which send the signal back to the ECU when the gear has been manually chagned

the colours you are looking for are DARK GREEN and LIGHT GREY

picture 2:

another close-up of the wires in question. note that there is also a light green wire so don't get confused

picture 3:

cut these 2 wires and strip all 4 free ends

picture 4:

attach the male and female ends of the blade connectors using the pliers to hold the wires in place. you could probablhy solder them if you could be bothered

picture 5:

connect the wires

the key here is that you want to swap the wires around so that the grey is now connecting with the green for both wires

note that as you have used blade connectors, it is very easy to simply pull out the connector and put the configuration back to normal if you ever want to!

picture 6:

usign electrical tape, cover the exposed metal of the connectors and put the wires back into their normal position.

you can hardly notice that anything is done!

put your trim back in place

test drive:

amazing, simply amazing. its stuipd that it wasn't this way to start with.

summary:

this is a DIY that costs the price of a box of connectors and takes about 15mins to do. not only that, but it is completely reversible in the event that you change your mind!

i'm going to get some custom stickers made up that have a " + " and " - " sign on them for completeness. they will be black like the P-R-N-D indicator on the other side of the shifter

enjoy!

cheers,

Warren

here's a few pics of someone pulling hte centre console apart too.. seems that its very easy with no screws, just clips!

http://g35ipod.com/installHW.php?skin=1&src=forum

just be very carefull with the clips.if you break them your dash will rattle and squeek forever.Anyone who has owned an r32 will know what im talking about....just take your time!

ok i have just re-done this thread and edited the first post

this is an amazing mod i recommend EVERYONE with a 5sp auto to go and do it right now!

don't know why NISSAN did it the other way around......change done straight away....top stuff Warren.

    • 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
