Got the M35 back from the radiator shop today for the custom top tank build, and when i picked it up they claimed when they unplugged the afm sensor (or map sensor whatever it is) with the ignition on and it made the engine light stay on, they checked everything (they claim) and they couldnt find anything wrong.

They claim they rang Nissan and Nissan wasn't sure but they then told me to unplug the battery for 30 Minutes at a later date which might reset the computer and the engine light staying on in the dash?

Anyone verify this ?

They also had to top up the transmission fluid which i mentioned had to be j-matic or matic-s. which they claimed they used and topped it up.

I took note of the kms before i dropped it off and they hadn't put any kms on it (unless they unplugged the dash fuses).

Slightly concerned now!

unplugging the battery & pressing the brake/horn won't clear the engine light on an M35.

CLICK HERE for the procedure to clear any fault codes.

Alternatively, if there is nothing wrong, the light will turn itself off after a few hundred kms.

I was actually suprised they did Scott , as they mentioned it first and knew only matic -s was available (apparently a previous worker had an infiniti series).

So i was suprised as you ..because i was about go sick at them if they used dextron III.

It takes correct timing which is easy to stuff up lol

The codes will display by the engine check light flashing 1-10 times then a pause, then again 1-10 times, pause, flash again, pause, flash again.

Each time it flashes, write down how many times it flashed before the pause (if it flased 10 times, write down a zero).

This will give you your error/s in a four number sequence.

The Ecu is behind/above the glovebox but it is quite uneventful to look at.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
