Hi all, has any r 35 - Gt r owners had problems with drivers seat wear.

I must say for a vehicle less than 12 months old, less than 6500 kms i am disppointed.

The wear i am experiencing is not normal for this aged vehicle.

Is the car only drivin in really short distances? Like your geting in and out of it alot, that wear dose look really bad aye

Thx for the comment

2 - 3 times per week short trips, my wifes Bmw is 5 years old 33,000 klms & leather is perfect, also my Srt 8 is 2 years 29,000 klms and not a mark on the leather.

As i said im very disappointed.

prior to this Nissan i had 3 350z over 5 years and never a problem.

my 350z had exactly the same issue (seatbelt wearing on the seat), mine was convertible.

nissan said it was perfectly normal and I should expect the seat to look like rubbish after 12 months.

usual nissan "support" and "warranty"

I have forwarded photos to McArthur Nissan and already the service manager has requested how many KLMS hope this is not there attitude as you stated

Note; :rofl: Nissan has now replaced the seat cover under warranty

Thanks Nissan

hi guys its great to see that you got your leather seat issue sorted.

I have a major issue exactly like yours,but NISSAN AUSTRALIA dont want to sort out the problem,so i have spoken to CONSUMER AFFAIRS and they said i have a fantstic case which purely states in the new AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAWS that if the product that one purchases is defective in any way it must be fixed or replaced.So i just wanted to let all know that be careful with the so called LEATHER INTERIOR.

I remember the leather interior in both of my 350z's was terrible. I had the orange in both of them though, so it showed everything. Similar wear and tear to the picture you have attached.

The fix some how reminds me of the roof in the 350z convertible - tears around the wear window due to the electrical cables around it - obvious DESIGN FLAW. Instead of fixing the root cause of the problem (either wrapping or moving the cable so it didnt rub against the roof), Nissan just put a brand new replacement roof on it under warranty but shortly after - the roof just rips again because the cause is not fixed.

Im under the impression the seat issue is either poor quality leather, or poor stitching (if it starts to tear). Unfortunately im assuming the replacement will be exactly the same quality as the first one. So how do we prevent the wear and tear from happening again? Seat covers? Getting in and out of the seat differently (not putting any weight in that area (inconvenience..)

Just thinking - Also need to make sure your belt isnt damaging the leather.

I had a mate which had sharp design pieces on his belt and he scratched the f*ck out of the back seat in my W211 E320 (which obviously is meant to be high quality leather too..)

So, so angry.

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
