Hi guys my v35 2005 coupe doesn't triple flash when soft indicating for lane change. I know that it is definitely a feature because one of the v35's I test drove while looking around to buy had this on.

I'm thinking there might be a setting in amongst the nav vehicle info screens somewhere but it's in jap so I'm at a loss.

same, I never heard of that feature on a Nissan V35...

maybe buy a VW Golf... like me :-)

You get triple blinker as standard alongside other smart features like rain sensing wipers, auto dimming mirrors etc. LOL

Thanks for the quick responses. I might look into it further, would be an interesting find. My girlfriends got a fresh 2010 vw golf and it's a nifty feature. I wouldn't trade my coupe for the world though.

might be an aftermarket thing wired by previous owner in one of the v35...

I was like you, won't sell my coupe FTW, but in the end I gave up and traded my coupe for golf gti, and didn't regret it at all, but hey that's just me... 5dr hatchback is a lot more practical for me, so I can put a baby seat at the back. and fit those huge luggages overseas relatives always bring with them when I pick them up @ airport twice a year.... coupe just don't cut it anymore for my need, I always had to ask them if they had big luggage or not (in horror) when I had the v35 coupe.

golf's tank is only 55ltr compared to coupe's 65ltr but the golf took me 100km further from a tank fill... and dsg is a lot more fun than that conventional slushbox auto in my v35... quieter ride too and almost as quick.

and that nifty 3 blinker feature on lane change ;-)

on the golf it can be enabled/disabled through the on-dash user setting, very handy feature to have to personalise the way your car behave... they don't have it on the v35, and those navi screen, they only do trip computer, compass, and service reminder, there's no setting or menu option in there to set it. I know cos we now have the english translation software for those japanese menu for the 2001-2004 v35 (2005+ still in progress)

You might be on the ball with it being aftermarket. I spoke to the guy that has it last night and he said he definitely has a triple blink system happening. He doesn't know how it's set up. I'm thinking of running a tiny 555 timer circuit on the indicator line before it hits the bcm. That might hold it on for a set period. Hmmm...

if you're gonna do it, I suggest do it for 5 blinks... the triple blink on the golf is very handy but if you hesitate a bit on changing lane (having a 2nd thought or a mental block) then 3 blinks not long enough...

but at least the short period of 3 blinks encourage you to execute your manouvre in a firm, determined, no fuss way...

hesitation is a sign of weakness :-)

yep that looks like it will work. being PIC based makes it a bit smaller as well. you could just about do away with most of the 'load bearing' side if it and grab control of the lights from the stalk input. then let the PIC run that back into the BCM. timing would be similar.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
