Did a google of this error and it seems the consensus was to take it to someone and get it fixed.

However, sometimes CDs work and sometimes they don't, so potential causes are?

And if I do get it looked at, most likely issue and cost to fix? Was working fine on the way home from the dealership. Only started when I attempted to play Johnny Cash -.-

Lmao.

Kk, will give them a call. After I bought the car I actually had to run back to the dealer (just down the road) as I couldn't figure out how to get the fuel flap open ;( Such an odd way of doing it. I've never seen it done the way the stagea does it.

ETA: Thanks!

Gold Star Autos in Strathpine.

Grabbed it for umm, $15,250 - 2003 M35 with 112,000 on the clock, a bit higher than I wanted to go but hey, for $15,250 (drive away) I'm not complaining.

I quite like it, far quicker than my falcon was and both my parents prefer it over their XR6. Bloody easy to speed in though, will take some getting used to.

Yep, the dealer should have that covered, although it is understandable that the CD player would break down, you did play Johnny Cash after all.

I am still trying to recover from hearing some of his rendition of Soundgarden's classic "Rusty Cage" years ago. :)

...Nope, just tied listening to it again via youtube... :):)

Now where the hell is "Terry GT-R34" when you need him :)

fuel flap opens by pushing on it (its locked when the car is locked).

just out of interest its actually the same mechanism as a mitsubishi 380 - i hired one in perth last year and spent at least 15 minutes looking for the button to open the fuel flap. so when it came time to fill the M35 for the first time, and not finding a button, I knew to check that.

thankfully thats where the similarities between the two cars end. The 380 is "ok" i guess. At the start of the week I was pretty happy with it, but by the end of the week the FWD-ness and horrible on-off traction control was driving me crazy.

really? you cant test every function of the car before you take delivery

i think thats the reason WHY the 3 months stat warranty was introduced, so the buyer doesnt buy a lemon and not be able to do anything about it

Seems to be working again, will do some more thorough testing over the weekend. I suspect it is only playing up when I have more than 1 CD loaded in it, if that's the case then I'll leave it as I cbf getting someone to drive 100km with me then returning in a few days to pick it up.

Pics, sorry for the relatively poor quality. Using mums camera and I have nfi on how a DSLR works.

Need to pay Dad the last 5k for it (I borrowed from parents) and then spend a bit on handling mods and aesthetic mods before I turn to power. Having driven a falcon for 3 years and a daewoo for 1 this power is fine for now.

ETA: A few of those photos look the same, but they're not :) I just get enthusiastic.

Ohh, and a photo of the bastard who forced me to buy it:

RX.

Not leather, opted against leather as I will have the GSD pictured above in a cage in the back and my Husky in the back seats and the dogs have done a pretty good job on mums leather sofa just from climbing on it ;(

TV/Satnav, no sunroofs. Sunroofs would have been nice but unfortunately not.

Nope.. It never worked when they bought the car in from Japan, so why should they fix it for me...

A very high percentage of the 6 stacks break on the boat because they did not park the mech before loading them on the boat. Loads of them break in Japan, because they are made of plastic...

Just one of those things.. And also why I have a PAS11.Nis sitting on the floor in my office as well as Griffin Tune Center and a IF remote extender...

I will get it all working soon with display on the Panasonic screen...

Experience?

So did yours ever get fixed?

The guys I got it from actually said to me as I was taking it "If anything isn't working bring it back and we'll fix it" - I only just remembered, so I guess if I took it back they'll fix it regardless but like I said, mine was working when I took it as I listened to a cd on the way home.

What's the go with the radios in these? I can't tune anything over 90.0 - aftermarket mod required here or a setting I haven't noticed?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
