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.

Dammit! I'll leave it to you then. I can't wait to hear the result....

jon,

Cool...hope you find more cool stuff! The G35 guys keep on talking about their remotes ability to wind down all four windows by just pressing the unlock button 3 times and holding it...I tried but no dice...

partial PDF from the 05/06 service manual.

that is relevant to what we are talking about.

its missing a relay so the whole concept of adding a switch is a myth. there is more to it that that. I would say: fuses,relays, switches,seats.

I'll know more over the next day or so.

jon,

you may want to stay away for a few days whilst I find this missing relay :)

Ok my 04 coupe is a 70th and has the seat warmers,

you can push the switches up or down, what is the difference ?

up is for high heat, down is for low

as in the thicker and longer bar for up, and thinner and shorter bar down low

can you do us a favour and open you console and take a pic of where the wires go form the switches?

its as simple as

- pull down the plastic around the bottom of the shifter

- pop out the pin

- lift off the gearknob

- lift up the armrest

- then lift the console from where the switches are

this takes about 2-3mins and requires no screwdriver or anything

i would just like to see on a coupe where the wires go after they coem out of the switches

thanks mate!

Warren

warren,

easier way.

remove covers on seat bolts. remove 4x14mm bolts position seat so it lays back out of the way:(DO NOT DISCONNECT IT!)

look at 4 pin white plug in middle of seat. it has 2 wires: a heavy red and black in it for the seat power ONLY. IF it has 4 wires going THROUGH the plug into the seat itself then you have heated seats.

based on the 05/06 sedan passenger seat you will have a LT GRN/BLK & GRY/BLU in that plug from teh car side - those will match with the ones in the centre console

the car (in the case of the 05/06 sedan I have here) is set up for them its a case of swapping seats, adding switches and finding the relay and fuse for it.

jon,

yours is wired for it but thats it.

just to update this..

i have found a company that sells carbon fibre heating elements

http://www.heatedseatkits.com/index.html

costs $180 for the pair for front seats

they are OEM items in many cars in the USA..

and i've also recieved my heated seat switches from the G35 :)

so once my exams are over, my plan is to find out if i have the heating elements or not, and if i don't i'm going to look at getting a set of heating elements and wiring them up using the stock switches to control it

it should suit those cold summer mornings just fine!

haven't checked as yet..

i'm studying for exams which are on friday which means i can procrastinate all day on the computer and be guilt free (as my notes are open in an adjacent window), but if i leave the vicinity of my computer/books (ie to go to the car) i get massive guilt about not studying..

i know i'm weird

i will check for the wiring before i think about getting any elements though

Just noticed my car has rectangular marks where the heated seats buttons should be. Seems to be a lump there on both sides of the console. Does anyone else have this? Looks kinda dodgey.

yes I have these too.

Unless the vehicle is equiped with heated seats there will be covers in place of the switches. So 99% of 35's will have these covers.

on some of them the covers are knockouts. in the case of warrens car they are visible but not punched.

warren,

re: question - yes.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
