AWD? i don't remember seeing a front diff!

i think there was a model of G35 sedan (maybe called the G35x?) that was AWD but that doesn't apply to us from what i know

but for us on the V35 that's a snow/hold button, same as with R32/33/34 automatic cars

when pressed, it:

- takes off in second gear from standstill

- cuts a lot of power to the rear wheels to prevent wheelspin

- doesn't allow the car to drop down gears suddenly when accelerator is ressed (thus avoiding wheelspin when you drop down gears and suddenly take off)

yes, rare AWD on the sedan, may have some on USDM but not many in JDM or maybe they don't release for JDM

AWD was available on the JDM 250GT-4 only - ie only the 2.5L variant and not that common. USDM G35x was the 3.5L engine with AWD, but an equivalent RHD JDM variant was not produced.

But as Waz says the snow button is not related to AWD (for the RWD variants anyway)...

hey has anyone actually driven the v35 on snow with snow mode on?

thinking of heading to the snow in a few weeks and just wondering.

Cheers

Well it wont be any different on normal roads- just cuts the power to zilch.

If your heading to Perisher then you will need chains if your going up into the national park. Otherwise take the ski tube and you wont need to carry chains. Take the "Alpine Way" turn off. No way I would get chains on my 19's anyway.

P.S its dumping like mad down there! I got me a season pass!

Check out the USA forums (g35driver.com etc) - lots of V35 (known as Infiniti G35 not Skyline) owners over there who live in areas where it snows...

However I have a feeling they don't get the snow button - weird!

Ooohh Alpine Way, I want to know how the car handles on that road. I've only ever taken rentals there. Someone organise a cruise!

PS. if you do go - DON'T FRICKING EVER TAKE OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL OR YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. This is more important than the snow button.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
