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.

    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
    • Very cool, see what I did there? 🥲 Wild WMI setup, first I've seen where it's on each cylinder runner, usually I see a single jet pre throttle.
