ok so i came across this thread on G35driver..

http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199456

and it turns out that in the USA, all G35's that have power seats have the heater elements pre-wired into them!

all you have to do is find the plug under the centre console and plug in the OEM switches and the heaters work

note that this is on the sedan in the above thread

so i was thinking, i wonder if the seat setup is the same for the V35? i know that heated seats were offered on the 70th anniversary V35's

it would be easy for us to simply use fast to see if there are different part numbers for the different seats. if not, and they have the same part number then its probably simply that the seat is the same but usign a different cover for the 70th anniversary seats

i have ordered a set of the switches from the USA but unfortunately i cannot find the said plugs in my car as they are pictured on the sedans in the above thread. i am hoping they are jammed away in a hidden spot somewhere or slightly different for the coupe.

maybe someone else can pull their centre console off to have a look if they have the plugs?

let's hope we have unlocked a nice hidden secret here!

cheers,

Warren

That looks like a great little mod if it works! I would investigate but haven't got my car yet :yes:

i know it sounds great

i am really dissapointed that i couldn't find the splugs under my console now

but i'm hoping skizo clears up the seat issue as if the seat has all the hardware already then its going to be easy to wire up a switch whether its got a connection on the loom or not..

As Chris confirmed that there do has a plug under, I am really thinking order a pair of swith:)

i know, its frustrating that jon's are right in front of your eyes!

even all the pics that i have seen of cars on g35driver they are all very visible, be it coupe or sedan, although its been impossible to find any exposed dash pics on g35driver..

eg this pic, although this car already has the switches as standard: http://g35ipod.com/images/install/25.jpg

i might have another look tomorrow. it seems the correct part of the loom runs down the passenger side of the console. but failing that, i might have to leave it for you in a few weeks time chris..

in th meantime, everyone else go have a lok to see if you have the plugs!

less typing, more searching!

The link you provided is the same one I read only a few days ago. My thoughts were that the seats were a bit of an unknown as in the example used were swapped seats.

Did I miss something?

yeah you are getting confused - there were 2 similar posts about this on g35 driver..

but the crux of this thread was that they found that the loom and heating elements are already there in the STANDARD seats as long as they were the power seats and not the manually operated seats

this is on the sedans anyway, and jons car (also sedan) has the plugs poking you in the face when you look at it

i'm hoping that on the coupe they are tucked away somewhere but to be honest it didn't look like it when i had a brief look earlier today

jon,

if yo get me the switches I'll set it up. in the mean time I'll work yours out. if they are there then you are not swapping seats are you

:laugh:

Hmmmm..heated seats....leather seats....heated seats...leather seats...nah I think I'll have both thanks!

No. but i have one of these...... will it do?

NO!!

they are good for popping airbags. think there are 8 or so on these so I would only use a meter in them. if it is a LED one then that is a different story. still prefer a meter.

jon,

I'm bored so I'm tearing yours to bits.

hey mate,

looks like a sedan?

were they just sitting there or hidden?

Yes its a sedan, and yes they were hidden underneath the black air-con vent that goes to the rear. Had to rip off some tape and pull the wires out, I could feel the plugs though so I knew they were there.

Fingers crossed that this will work. I was so disappointed that my car didn't come with heated seats.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
