This has happened a couple of times in the last few weeks. Both times I have driven somewhere..restarted the car after a while (engine still warm) and have had the engine warning light stay on for 3 or 4 minutes. Every thing seems fine under the hood..just wondering if anyone else has had this happen..and weather the light being on is trying to indicate something..or if it is an intermitent fault of some kind.

Cheers.

Yeh i guess there are threads about ECU stuff..I did a search and could not find anything about this particular fault. I would still like to know if anyone else has any info about this ocurence.

Thanks

has anything else different happened. when i had my engine light come on it wouldnt do it at start up it would take a while then turn on and sometimes it would start to run rough but other times it was fine, just the light was on and with me it ended up being the coilpacks there are alot of threads about these on how to check them and stuff.

not saying that it is your problem, just a suggestion.

When I had my 34 I noticed my engine and TCS lights would go on every now and then and annoy the **** out of me coz it would still seem to run ok....

when I sold it - I was told that one of my coil packs was slightly leaking which is why those lights were coming on.....

now I dunno how similar the warning lights work on the stags - i would assume pretty much the same....

  • 4 weeks later...

While I was giving the engine bay a good clean...I thought that I would check the air filter..it is a rewashable foam type...although I had only cleaned it a few months back..I was surprised how filthy it was..there was even some muck on the inner metal filter..I guess the dry dusty Melbourne weather must have contributed...anyhow...I am now thinking that the warning light may have been coming on in regard to this...I am not totally convinced but I wil see if the warning light comes on again.

    • I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.
    • I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks
    • lol, probably should have read further!
    • Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4
    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
