A W D LAMP COMES ON (STAYS ON)

A T LAMP LIGHTS UP "

A B S LAMP ALSO COMES ON WITH A SLIGHT HUM HEARD WITH IT.

GEAR DISPLAY SHOWS WHEN TURNING ON BUT GOES OUT WHEN PUTS CAR INTO GEAR.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROL.(WONT CHANGE TO HIGH BEAM, BUT TURNS OFF WITH IGNITION)

This is beyond my tired old brain.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

best to ask someone near you to plug in a consult cable with laptop to find out what the errors are.

or disconnect battery for 24hrs, retry. hope its just a minor glitch.

Probably not best, I dont think that plug fits into the obd2 port. :)

Check all the fuse boxes, all 3, and like Tangles said, disconnect the battery, clean the terminals, and reconnect after a few hours. If you have no joy, Im guessing there is a fault with the BCM? Perhaps try reconnecting all the plugs on it, its under the fuse box in the kick panel.

Agree. Take it to a Nissan Dealership and get them to put it on their Consult 3 (it will tell them in plain English where the issue is)

Just a quick thank you to those who gave me advice.

Because of no garage to work in for the last 3-4 days while we had this horrendous wet spell,i was unable

to look at the car until Yesterday.In fact i went out to the car turned on the ignition and lo and behold it had

cleared itself.I took the car to my mate at Lees mobile mechanical in Caloundra.

I didn't know it, but he has Snap On diagnostic set up and what do you know it had m35 Stagea and most imports on it.

After checking all fuses, connections etc etc, he found no fault codes on the car through his diagnostic scan tool.

He thinks that there was some moisture in the electrics which have had time to dry out.

So good news on 2 counts.

! the car is ok and 2. I have a connection for any one who needs to check out their cars diagnostics

without having to pay through the nose at Mr Nissan.

Once again cheers.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.
