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.

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards

      OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift
