Does anyone know if the translated manual has details like all the wiring diagrams, wire colours, plugs etc? Thinking of having a play with the stereo side of things in my car....

What do you want to do? Just talk to Commsman or Ducati02?

Ryan, I'm flattered you thought I could help ;) . I've been chatting with Andy about speed signals and stereo problems recently.

I think it is the latter that he was hoping he could get more info about by finding the right manual.

I'm pretty sure he's looked at the Japanese and Infinity manuals & still has some questions, but that was where I would have sent him anyway.

Yes I have the japanese manual for the m35 and the english manuals for the g35... but wiring colours and plugs are different between the two. I've been chasing the speed sensor wire for a while and in the G35 it's white with a green tracer at certain points- for example at pin 17 in the top dash display unit. We don't have a wire going to pin 17 on our cars....

The only way to go is an english conversion of the m35 manuals, but I don't really want to fork out the money if it's not detailed- the AV section alone of the jap manual is large with all the diagnostics, which would be handy.

Hi Andy, you may just have mistyped the pin number above, but in the DI (Driver Information System) manual for the G35 on page DI-14, it says at the back of the combination meter (dash) the terminal number 19 is the "Vehicle speed signal (2-pulse)". Is there a wire at that terminal?

I was looking at this last night, but thought there had to be a better place to pick it up from. What happen to the brown connector? No luck there?

Sorry, should have clarified more. The speed signal goes to many places in the g35, one of which is the top a/c display in the middle of the dash. This is the easiest place to get at it if it doesn't appear to be working at the brown plug under the steering wheel (like mine). I really need to chuck a scope on the thing to see if the signal is there or not but am scope-less at the moment. The g35 manual describes a white/green wire at the a/c display and on our cars it's not at that pin. There is a white/green wire there but I'm not willing to take the risk until I've checked it properly.

Going back to the original question of the post- has the m35 manual actually been translated by jpnz? I'm sure I saw it for sale somewhere but on the jpnz site it isn't.

Edit: Found it m35 manual

I should have known you'd be all over this. I didn't see that it also appeared above the AC. That's an easier place to find it than behind actual dash display. I've got a speedo correction device I've been meaning to fit. I'll see if I can find a wire that works & let you know.

I wonder if you get the full manuals translated for your ~$140 (there's an awful lot of them for the M35) or a cut down version?

Shaun, I too had started doing this & I agree, what a pain. It's better than nothing I guess but I think I'd rather buy the manual, if it's any good.

I think I might get one ,

Considering want to add speed correct , get the cruise control working

And put in a 2 way alarm with remote start and window up

Plus would be good for future incase mechanical issues ,or such things,

Can I ask what device u got , as will be looking for one soon ,

Yeah, I bought a heap of their kits a while back as I think they're (mostly) great value & I love DIY :)

I'll let you know how it goes if I can get time to put it in.

Nice

Yes I've had a few off there kits, had the electronic boost controller , air fuel controller and the hand controller in my old car didn't get it working but I just gave up to quick , now I got a lil more knowledge I think it would be easier ,

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
