hey all, im new to this site n also to the 35, i recently purchased a 2002 300gt sedan 35 from a local caryard,it was going great up untill the last 4wks,in the last 4wks heaps of things have gone wrong,and the list goes like this

1.there is an airbag light that keeps flashing on the dash and will not go away

2.the window motor went and i got hit with 760 to replace it,i paid it and now the drivers window button doesn't work but the rest of the buttons do work,so now im chasing a new switch or the whole panel that goes into the door if anyone can help???

3.the cd player was working fine untill one day it just stopped working,it gave me the shits cause it still has 6 cds in it,so i wasnt getting around without tunes i just plugged in the old school walkman n plugged it in through the tape deck, it worked sweet for about a week n now the whole thing has stopped working completely,so now i have no tunes and no buttons work at all,got any ideas???

4.and last but not least the climate control is stuck on 28degrees,u cant turn it off or on,it wont allow you to adjust it nothing,so pretty much everything in the middle of the dash has shit its self,no buttons at all seem to work besides the tv n dvd player,u pop up the tv n it has the usual screen on it,so im assuming it must be still all good!!!

has anyone else experienced these problems??? if so please help :) after the bill i got from the auto elec for the window motor i thought it would be in my best interest to see if anyone else has experienced these problems and try and fix them myself before i take it to an elec

thanks luke

Ouch Dude....

All can be fixed but Jeez you got bad luck.

If your in QLD take it to Chris, It won't be free but it will be fixed right. Just a quick question. Did all of the stuff stop working immediately after you went to the auto sparky? And if so...... you know where I'm headed......

Hope you sort it out mate.

1.there is an airbag light that keeps flashing on the dash and will not go away

could be a few things there. quick check with a scanner will tell me.

2.the window motor went and i got hit with 760 to replace it,i paid it and now the drivers window button doesn't work but the rest of the buttons do work,so now im chasing a new switch or the whole panel that goes into the door if anyone can help???

motor is common. question is - motor or switch originally? both are fixable - switch isn't that bad and there is a good chance I can fix it.

3.the cd player was working fine untill one day it just stopped working,it gave me the shits cause it still has 6 cds in it,so i wasnt getting around without tunes i just plugged in the old school walkman n plugged it in through the tape deck, it worked sweet for about a week n now the whole thing has stopped working completely,so now i have no tunes and no buttons work at all,got any ideas???

considering that ENTIRE front panel controls the radio and AC there is something amiss. the 6CD stuck in the mech is common. not a cheap fix but common. I'll have a look at it and at the very least get tunes.

4.and last but not least the climate control is stuck on 28degrees,u cant turn it off or on,it wont allow you to adjust it nothing,so pretty much everything in the middle of the dash has shit its self,no buttons at all seem to work besides the tv n dvd player,u pop up the tv n it has the usual screen on it,so im assuming it must be still all good!!!

TV is a separate assembly. that entire unit can be removed with no real effect on the radio.

who did the car come from (tell me when you ring.)

you north or south?

give me a ring and I'll sort this car for you.

for anyone that has this happen:

IE the ENTIRE FRONT PANEL DIES. the AC system is partly powered by the radio . there is a 5v supply that feeds off the radio into the front panel to fire it up. no supply -= no go on radio and AC controls. there are 6 different supplies in this radio 3 of which feed that front panel.

I had another one today so I stripped it, debugged and fixed it.

I just had this happen to me in the last week or so, the guy I spoke to guessed at a few days work and maybe $300-400. It seems a bit over the top to me. Is this reasonable? I am in Sydney if it helps.

depends whos doing it. its an electronics issue NOT an electrical one.

I don't mind who does it, as long as it is done well for a reasonable price, I just have no idea what reasonable is! Is it in the ballpark of what you have charged recently for similar problems?

last one I did was $250 which was the R&R of th dash and unit. the entire exercise is 4hrs min. inc fixing the electronics probelm. by rights I should have charged a bit more as I had to drive out/back to where the car was in southern brisbane.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
