What?

C'mon Scotty, you're only guessing that is the cause :no: . Pretty sure Ryan proved otherwise by disconnecting/reconnecting cruise control. Appears to only be an issue with (some) people running F-Con & given all the wiring changes involved with F-Con installation......

No one else with cruise control has reported TPS codes & most have had it working for over 12 months (mine over 18 months). Probably a combined error free distance of over 150,000km.

Unfortunately I have had no errors since unplugging the cruise, I would say too many things hanging off the pedal output wires will cause it to fault.

Maybe the cruise was the straw that broke the camels' back, so to speak :)

I still want to try a new pedal sensor, but at $300-$400 for a varistor I will just unplug the cruise for now. Sadly, I don't think the fcon even uses the pedal sensor as an input now I think about it. It could be a bad connection in the cruise wiring too I guess. I really want to fix it as the cruise function is great...

Limp mode is a pain, I am scared it will happen with the family in the car while trying to scoot across an intersection. It faulted 8 times on one trip just dropping the kids at school last week. Goddamn electronic throttles.

Has anyone had a fault code P1320 ignition signal come up before on there M35?. Am I due for new coil packs? Or is it to do with plugs. Any ideas would be great.

It is indicating a fault with the ignition circuit, probably best if you start a new thread on it so others can find this same info.

It is letting you know there is a slight resistance change somewhere inside a coil primary or ignition harness. Have you been poking around with the coils recently, or changing plugs? If not it sounds like you will be soon. :P

Mine threw this code when I had the Emanage Ultimate wired in.

Thanks Scotty. I haven't opened the bonnet for 4 weeks. My wife rang and said the engine light wont go off. Looks like a fun job to change coil packs. The code has cleared for now. Hope I dont see it back too soon.

On the subject of coil packs...

I changed my cam cover gaskets on Friday because they were both leaking & at the same time took the opportunity to change the spark plugs.

I dont think they'd been changed in quite a few years - both electrodes were worn away pretty badly - so badly infact that the gap was close to 3mm!

Demonstrates how strong the spark is from the coilpacks if it could keep the car running fine regardless.

Although I must say there's now a very noticable difference in engine response now that the new 1.1mm plugs are in. :O

* And christ, what an ars$ehole of a job that passenger cam cover is to get back on without the rear part of the gasket falling back out - that aircon line can f**k right off.

I need to do my plugs to but have been putting it off.

Also it was me who messaged you. Not some random lunatic... well maybe

NGK Iridium LFR7AIX. I get them from ebay mate. Or you could get them from Harold (Performancelub). Still perfect after 20,000 k's on my car.

Don't get the IKH22's, a few sets I have noticed the threads galling in the head, probably due to them being stainless, and the tip melts within 20,000 (on a stock Stagea). Perhaps the IKH24's might be better, with some anti-seize paste? Or just run the NGK's like me. :)

Just telling it how it is mate. Not telling you to change, just letting everyone know my experiences, it's not like there is a price difference. Perhaps you drive like a pussy compared to Jase? :P

lol.

That said, I put the Denso's in because I had them already. Next set of plugs will be neither NGK nor Denso. There are more interesting designs out there that I want to try :)

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
