Does Your Car Act Strange On Hot Days?

Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can assist in my query. 2 weeks ago I left my car outside a friends place because I had to catch a Taxi home due to my intoxicated state.

Anyway midday the next day I went and collected my car. it was a stinker of a day and the car was getting a beating from the sun all day.

I started the car, plugged in the iPhone and opened the factory screen, the sexy lass living in my dash politely told me something and the screen went black. I started again by closing the screen and opened it again, and she repeated her phrase and the screen remained off. I repeated this on my drive home and kept watching the outside temperature reading drop.

When the temp dropped to 36 degrees The Dash lady said something different and my screen came to life.

Does anyone know if theres some sort of temperature cut out or something that would have caused this.

Not a big deal but thought it was very strange! These cars are full of mystery arent they!

cheers

Exact same thing happened to mine once. Got a bit worried but everything was normal after that. It was extremely hot that day. Shouldn't be too worried about it.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this happened to me today. It got up around 35 degrees, car was left outside work, no shade whatsoever. Couldn't really understand what the chick living in my screen was saying :action-smiley-069:

I started the car, windows down, aircon on full for around 5 mins then shut it off, turned it back on and voila! it works! Still curious as to what the issue is. Anyone know what she's saying?

Hi Tarun,

My car was at Perth Festival Of Speed yesterday from 8:30am - 4:00pm as part of my car club stand. It was in a middle of large clear-out area with no trees, no shades, etc. and it was 46 degrees at noon. Luckily, nothing happened like you mentioned above. But it had happened occasionally with a few owners already, so there must be something that bothers the way the car system runs when it is parked in a really hot area.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      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
