Heya Everyone,

Could you please help my problem? Just purchased a M35 and the VICS info doesnt work, it doesnt show my green leaf etc! It has got me worried that some kind of error has come up in JAP and I cant understand it. I have only gotton 200kms of a half tank of 98 BP and that was grannied everywhere.

I have tried to do the error code diagnostice, but after I fully depress and unpress 5 times and then hold I dont get anything. Key is on position just before cranking.

Is there a tutorial or how to use guide on the onscreen menu jap to english?

Cheers

I can see that the Green leaf is registering as the stem of the leaf is green.

The bottom button that is highlight when pressed is the History (as you have already worked out) the top button (use the wand to select the upper button) resets the results back to 0 (or **.*) as on your screen. It looks like you have reset the unit and not driven any where yet.

Depending on the driving you are doing and what sort of terrain it is on, the economy is about right.

I get around 500 km a tank (65-70L to fill) when commuting in heavy Sydney traffic.

Also, does anyone know how L does the auto trans take? and what oil to recommend? also is there a diff or 2 diffs oil aswell? how many L for the diff?

Also there is a problem when i start the car from cold, there is no auto choke, it sill start and bog down and nearly stall then stay at 600rpm wether its cold or hot. Could a part be faulty hence not giving me the green leaf aswel? o2 sensor?

cheers

Cheers for the reply andy, so when I pressed the reset button and drove the car the stars remain and the green leaf doesnt go up and down.

How do you read the history graph?

Cheers

The leaf should be going up and down when you drive.

The history graph shows each record you save, ie, when you reset it records that result.

You can see that there is some history on your shot but it is odd that it is not recording now.

I know that if you have a TV override button (so you can view TV while moving) that the Trip meter does not record distance traveled but I am not sure what would stop the economy guage working. Is the Trip meter working (it is the selection below the Fuel economy)?

Only other thing I can think of is that your O2 sensor may be failing. But that does not really make any sense.

Not sure i know what else to suggest.

Cheers

That trip meter, is that the one that starts with a timer and km's travelled and gives the average km'h you have travelled in that distance? if thats the one then yes that is ticking over. However the compass doesnt work, it doesnt change direction etc.

Hrmm... very sad I cant get this to work =( I beleive you got yours at northshore prestige aswell?

Yes, I got mine at North Shore.

Yes, that is the right one with the clock.

That sounds very odd because the trip meter uses the GPS to measure distance.

Have you pressed some of the buttons in the menu's in VICS section?

Cheers

Really would give Ben a call... Might be worth Tony giving it all a quick once over and I'm sure than Ben would also go through the menus with you...

Hey,

Problem is that Iam in Adelaide so hard for them to have a look at it, might give them a call then but dont know if they will help me.

Ben will help you.

He still answers my questions and I bought my car over 2 years ago... I am in Melbourne.

If only all retailers/sellers viewed customer service the same way.

Needless to say, Ben has had repeat business through me and I would dare say the same could be said for a number of guys on here.

btw, did you buy that Burgundy ARX?

I am pretty sure he did, Ben said my exhaust went to Adelaide!! LOL

He got the Legalis exhust, lucky bastard. >_<

Hahaha!

So YOU were the "guy" who was interested in the Nismo exhaust (it was on the burgandy ARX)... I enquired about that car, but Ben said that he would probably sell the exhaust separately as he had a guy who was interested in buying it.

My wife took one look at the exhaust on that car on the website and banned me from buying it...

Now if I had know then that the dual outlet on the stock exhaust was a fake then I might have had a better look around Ben's workshop when I collected the car....

That reminds me, must drop Ben a line, the new rear window button they sent did not fix the window release problem...

I am pretty sure he did, Ben said my exhaust went to Adelaide!! LOL

Nah I didnt get the exhaust, I wanted it but someone got it already =( I got the Gold one. Cheers for the help everyone, ben isnt in today so will try tomorrow, hopefully he can sort out the problem,. and ill post the how to fix on here so if anyone in the future has it etc =0

I tried disconnecting battery but the memory in the tv is still there. How did you know i tried to reset the ecu 8 times? I am still trying but the check engine light doesnt blink when I hold the pedal down. =(

There are 8 columns with no data to the right of the last history record.

But she doesn't have a problem with mine??

...or did you just not want to tell for fear of hurting my feelings? >_<

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • 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.
