Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a good car electrician that knows the V35 in Sydney?

My odometer started to click over very slowly and the Fuel gauge does not move past half way!

tried the tests outlined in the service manual and the entire instrument panel works fine all gauges move (except for the fuel)

i filled up the car till fuel spitted out and the fuel gauge moved from nearly empty till half way only.

The odometer clicks over very slowly as 100 mt every 400m or so.

When i checked the Fuel leave to see what type of consumption i got it just showed *.* /km

Any ideas or help is appreciated.

Cristian

I have my M35 booked in tomorrow with a Auto Electrician who does work for North Shore Prestige. He has a scan gauge that will read the M35/V35 and most other cars.

I can let you know tomorrow afternoon what sort of job he does as he is tracking down an obscure electrical problem on my car.

He is based in Cromer, Northern Beaches.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Cristian

The Auto Electrician is,

All Car Auto Electrics (Greg) 9971 0900

Unit 11/1-5 Thew Parade, Cromer.

He has all the equipment to read the M35/V35's and is very good with his work.

I spoke to Greg about his knowledge of the V35 and he said he has worked on a few but did not describe himself as an expert on the car.

He is very competent and helpful.

I guess it is a matter of is there a better, closer or more convienient option.

Cheers

Andy

Let me know if you dont get anywhere Cristian, you are welcome to use my data cable to investigate fault codes?

Tim,

Where abouts are you located? I'm new to the V35 so i guess i'll need some help with the codes...

Thanks Andy, i'll see how i go with this...

Im down in Hurstville way, so if you wanna check em out, we'd have to do it soon.

My car is still in pieces while my license is suspended until next Thursday, at which point my OBDII cable is getting fitted behind the dash and i dont plan to unplug it any time soon hahaha

So if you have no luck with the techo dude up in North, perhaps you could swing by and i can run the cable through to your car and test. You got till next Thursday. 16th.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
