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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
