hey guys, car is acting very weird at the moment and am a little worried as im about to sell my other car in

the next few days and this will be the only one for a month or so while i wait.

about a month ago i broke down in the city late at night with a suspected dead battery. (well now im thinking it was something else) had a jump start from a friend and was on my way. drove 25km home and parked in garage, started next morning no problem - no noticeable issues since.

Friday night just gone was driving locally at night in the back streets and turned my Hi Beams on and my radio cut out - thought that was odd.

Next morning (Saturday) i couldn't get into the car with the button. so i opened it with the key and disarmed the alarm which was sounding with the Nissan immobilizer key, then the car wouldn't start, was completely dead (no lights etc). I left it went back inside and came out an hour later and opened the door. the lights were on and the key started it fine no problem. WEIRD!

This morning starts no problem (not started since Sat) driving to work stop to get a cup of coffee, lock car go inside, come out and unlock get in start.

Stereo has reset? so i tune it back to my station.

as im worried on my lunch break i take it for a drive and notice the Volt Gauge has more movement than normal but still around 14v constant but is flickering more than i have ever noticed. while driving i turn on the Hi Beams and the car nearly died mid flight, as soon as i let go of the light it sorted itself out and kept driving.

ANY IDEAS GUYS.>??? SCOTTY???

im assuming its either my alternator or my battery, but its weird as its at a constant 14v which tells me the alternator is ok, but it sat still for 4 days and started fine which tells me the battery is ok?

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
