I dont know if a thread like this has been started before, but i couldnt find one.

Well one weird this my 32 does is, when the car is cold if i put it in reverse the head unit will turn off, then i put it in neutral and it will go turn back on.

the head unit somtimes turns off when i go into 3rd too..

weird...:)

what about you guys, anything like that happen to you?

im no electrician but , have u pulled the head unit out and checked the earth wire for the head unit ?  * maybe its loose or something *

im not sure, i havent touched anything since i got it 6 months ago.. maby something has come loose over time.. It just doesnt seem right that it works perfectly normal until i change gears. Even when the handbreak is up and the car isnt moving it does it.

The other night everytime i put my foot down the rev needle would flicker, like it had a nervous twitch, it went from 4 to 5 then flicked to about 2 then in 0.01 of a second back to 4-5...really weird lol

I turn my car off drive the next night, and its back to normal

the valet boot locking switch always seems to manage to lock itself, so more often than not i'll have to use the key to open it.

what's a valet boot locking switch?

weird thing my 32 does is the climate control screen comes on and off randomly (mostly off now)...

Hmmm... where to start...

Had the stereo problem (worked when it wanted)

have the climate control proble (as above)

Have the boost issue, only goes to 'bout 7 thes goes backwards (foot to floor)...

and there's more...

but i cbf writing it all and it should all get fixed soon...

Also: i can feel air flow through the door handes (inside the car).... what's the go there....

my car makes this sound like a computer hard drive reading something that comes from the dash whenever the car gets low on gas say 1/4 mark.....lasts for a good 15-30secs. i cant hear it now cause of the aftermarket exhaust:D:D:D i wonder wat it is. i think its recalculating to conserve fuel or something...i dunno

My wifes auto R33 gets a whistle from down near the computer when i am at a certain load/rpm/throttle position.

My Soarer V8 lost all power to the dash and wouldn't start. I found an aftermarket box under the dash called a Starbo. An automatic engine starter thing it was having a little moment and I couldn't fix it, even when i pulled it out and all it's attached crap so I had to trial and error until I found the part that made it go again, without the Starbo piece of junk.

My track car makes my back push really hard into the seat and can sometimes make lots of smoke from the rear tyres :) and even makes turbo porsche drivers really unhappy....then it made this funny noise from the engine.....

I've come across most of the above and fixed them all, lucky mostly other peoples cars though :)

Stereos usually ground problems (x4), though changing gear is a weird one, so I'll go with the shift linkage or similar pushing on a wire... Climate Air controls, the screen craps out, fixed two of those by resoldering them, easy job. Same with Gxi/GTE/GTS's (not GTSt or any hicas equiped car) power steering modual, fixed three of those which had dry joints.

My climate control makes a knocking sound when i turn the car on does about 8 or so times also does it when the aircon changes fan speed.

yeh thats the same with mine :D

dont quote me on this but * there is a thread somewhere saying theres a little switch or something behind dash for aircon chit' date=' that wears or gets farked somehow * apparently it's cheaper to replace it , then to repair it

( wish i could find that thread again ) Farkin thing is starting to realy piss me of with that stupid * clunk , clunk, clunk.... noise it makes :)

ok i found the thread , try reading this :

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
