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..

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 :

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
