look in the engine bay for a sensor with a vac hose and 3 wire plug.

if thats off its not gonna work. should be drv side

cheers will check in the morn. i think your right cause it didn't work then it did then it didn't so a plug not clipped in all the way sounds like the culprit.

Perhaps.

Mine worked at random times then ceased operation.

Nothing to do with vacuum hoses or clips as all have been changed/cleaned/re-clipped.

It gave 1 final boost reading of 2bar than that was it. lol.

pulled the plug off and sprayed some water dispersant in there and now she's working a treat. must have been the engine wash my mech did when i got it serviced. thanks for the help chris

This is the factory item I am talking about.

It may not have numbers that read up to 2bar.... (sorry for the size, but non of my programs will save the re-sizing atm)

I can't believe you haven't upgraded your head unit yet iamhe

LOL.

Why though?

I have done my iPod install, run all my music through it (in lossless - I HATE mp3) and it sounds pretty bloody good.

Whilst I know that there are far better out there, the sound from the OE Clarion unit is pretty good and is plenty loud enough for what I listed to (no doof doof).

....plus I would prefer to spend the $1500AUD on "fun" mods instead of the head unit I have in mind :P

What unit have you put in?

Is the boost gauge sensor on all NM35's or do you have to fit it? Where would I find it in the engine bay?

I've got the 3 gauge single DIN (not fitted) and i'm hoping to replace my double din with a single din CD player and the gauges...

Would the loom be there?

Hi Scotty. Ball joints are going great btw...

Not 100% sure what you mean. There wont be a signal for the torque split at both the loom out OR the attessa ECU?

So basically that gauge DIN I bought from you isn't going to work... :huh:

The boost and volts will, but we can't find the torque output at the attessa ecu at this stage, perhaps there are 2 different attessa computers, similar to the dash? You might have more luck.

So there isn't a loom that is common across all cars. The cars that have the 3 gauge will have the plug and the ones that don't obviously don't.

Where is the boost sensor located on the VQ25DET? I thought if you didn't have the gauges, you didn't have the gauge sensor. (hoping to be wrong!)

No, you would be surprised how many differences there are between the body looms. Engine loom is all the same, but the boost sensor comes off the harness on the drivers side of the bay where the headlight wiring goes, it is bolted near the strut tower.

Pretty sure we found the plug for the triple gauges, tucked up under the stereo wiring. I will have to ask the owner I forget. I just remember having issues getting a signal from the Attessa computer.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
