Good afternoon everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew/knows about why they dont have the front torque gauge/oil pressure/Volts Gauge on the M35 ARX 2003? and they do have them on a 2001 M35 I checked out, but not in the 2003 ARX

Im used to the GTR guages, I miss them particularly the front torque, im a bit aprehentiuos about sliding around corners without seeing if if getting the split going towards the front wheels, but I cant see it on my ARX? Is it possible to get this info on the screen? anyone have any comments as to why they dont have it?

It was just different specification for different models.

The ARX is aimed as the all terrain vehicle and as such hes different specifications to suit the targeted market.

I can assure you that the ARX has great handeling in the wet with the rear initially stepping out and slowly coming back in as the front torque kicks in.

It is not shown in the standard computer screen.

By the same token that it does not have the front torque gauge, the ARX does have a LSD that no other Stagea is fitted. The LSD is a great aid to the handeling of the car.

Cheers

Andy

Anyone fitted an ARX LSD to an RS or RX? Straight forward?

I don't think it will be that straight forward as the ARX also has HICAS and I don't think all the other models have that fitted.

The ratio's would probably be different also as the ARX is on 18 inch wheels (225/55/18) standard v's 17 inch standard on the RS & RX.

Thanks Andy, however I would unhook the HICAS and put a HICAS lock in place. I'm not interested in the HICAS function, only the LSD.

I'm planning on upgrading to 18's or 19's in the next year or so anyway, so this may be worth a bit more investigating when that time approaches.

the diff LSD centre should fit in fine, the cars are pretty much mechanically identical. the HICAS only affects the rear suspension, the driveline is unaffected.

FYI:

only RS model M35s got the gauges, RXs are in the same boat as the ARX. which i was happy about anyway for my RX

also AFAIK RS Four V models had an LSD.

Ian, if you didn't get the gauges, and didn't get the LSD, what did you get? :)

As for the idea of maybe just inserting the LSD diff centre, I will investigate further :)

You sure about that?

I was under the impression that only the ARX had the LSD.

The RS/RX are practically the same car with a slightly different interior, integrated stereo (6 Disc) and rear seat vents for air-con :) .

RX got electric seats too, umm other trim stuff i think like stainless steel door sill covers, different colour interior. other small shit that i cant be bothered to think about :)

Yeah, I got electric heated seats in my RS. Stainless steel door sill covers? Don't think that was standard on any of the models (correct me if I am wrong).

Do the sill covers have "Nissan" punched into them or are they blank. I know that you can get blank ones and "Infinity" stamped ones in Japan (why the Japanese feel they have to put the word Infinity on their Nissan's is beyond me :) )

Other small shit? Are you referring to the chrome "X" on the rear door instead of the "S"?? :D

yeah that badge makes a huge difference!! :) smart ass hahaha

my sills are polished stainless that say stagea. you only got electric heated seats because you had the optional leather, thats the only way an RS will get electric seats.

ARX also has a slightly wider track front and rear. About 10mm me thinks.

Correct you are Andy. See Iain? Your RX (note, no "A") is much more like our "povo" RS's :)

Can't help the smart ass-ness :) it is in the genes.

Pics of sills?

Btw, black leather seats with a dark interior > beige leather with bland interior *cough*Grandpa*cough* :laughing-smiley-014: j/k

mine isnt like the ARX tan interior, mines beige. i perfer the ARXs tan but most people dont seem to like it!

anyway, im getting on a bit in life so i need bright colours so i can see........... hot chicks on the street :)

we can compare the RS and RX differences on thursday night if Stephen actually shows :)

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
