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 :

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
