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

Andy

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

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...

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

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
