Hi guys,

Got a few questions to ask and hopefully anyone of you can give me an answer/solution...

1. Last Tuesday night I was driving in Melbourne's unusual fog, got my cruise control on and turned on the front windshield heater...suddenly the cruise control just turns off and didn't register anything...the radar symbol is still on but not showing any cruising speed and I noticed that the cruise control is just off...this happens until I turned the car off then turned it on again, tried the cruise control and it's working as normal, tried turning on the windshield heater and it's gone off again until i restart the car...any ideas why? (sorry if too long, can't think of writing the short version without really confusing anyone)

2. I had the O2 sensor busted and am still waiting for the sensor to be ordered & delivered to the workshop that I frequent. The boss had a look underneath my car and said that it looks like my turbo is starting to leak. Called the previous owner to ask and he said he didn't have any issues and the turbo was just fitted not too long ago...any idea on why?

3. I will need to do servicing in the next month or two...now I need some help on part numbers for oil filter, type of oil that you guys recommend (what viscosity too) and part numbers or equivalent parts for the front and rear disk brakes and pads (fronts are the same with which car and same with the rears)...

4. My car came with the Bose sound system...just noticed that the FM range just went up to 90MHz...is that normal because the car is from Japan?

5. Is it possible to burn an Australian navigation map/system into a DVD and pop it into the dvd sat nav drive? does it work?

Sorry for all the noob questions...still learning a lot on my car...

Cheers,

-syd-

Syd, first thing I recommend... Is SEARCH!!

Question 3 still has an active thread from within the last week. Opinions vary, check the thread "m35 oil and filter"

4. Yes it is normal. Dunno if they fitted band expander but my understanding is even so it'll show 90MHz.

5. No. No way of getting sat nav working, but you can get it translated. Look at www.xanavi.com.au to find your local person.

This could be a "feature" in that some engineer thought it could be too dangerous to run cruise control in conditions that warranted you having the windshield heater turned on, ie. icy conditions.

Sounds like you have the cold pack edition.

2. Might want to have a look under the bonnet and see if the oil leak is coming from the passenger rocker cover (it will drip down onto the turbo). This is quite common.

3. http://m35stagea.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63 and yes as Ryan said, check the Oil Filter thread :)

5. No chance for sat nav. It has been covered here so have a search for the thread

any long term issues or solution on how to fix this? after a drive i smell something like oil burning...

i have registered into that forum but i still can't access the site...

Have you changed the oil since purchase? If not, I'd do that ASAP and use a GOOD quality oil (do a search it has been covered ;)).

Depends on the leak, but mine has had a very small leak for years now with no troubles.

Solution is generally to replace the rocker cover seal.

(airbox out, rubber bend and AFM off, plenum off, unscrew rocker cover bolts, replace rubber seal, re-install rocker cover etc) - fiddly job though due to piping at the rear of the engine)

Iain, looks like you need to fix the site again.

thanks for the advice, will do that in the very near future as I currently have other issues that's more urgent than the car...

I checked the site again and tried to log in, apparently my username is still not active and I didn't get any email asking me to activate my login...

Send Iain (zei20l on here) a PM, I'm sure he can fix up your login.

got a wheel alignment done today...the guy told me the sound that I thought was from tyres out of alignment was in fact the front right wheel bearing...does anyone know the part number for wheel bearing or if M35 wheel bearing is the same with any other nissan?

any help would be appreciated as i plan to get this sorted ASAP...

need more help urgently guys, any fast response is greatly appreciated :)

my car currently has a busted O2 sensor so its fuel efficiency is about the same as an F1 car (well not exactly but u guys know what i mean)...is the O2 sensor for vq25det the same as any other vq engine? and how do i know which O2 sensor (primary or secondary) that would need replacing?

How bad is your fuel efficiency? My city driving gets me north of 16L/100km; never above 21 though; somewhere in that band isnt necessarily pointing to your O2 sensor.

There is only 1 O2 sensor in our cars, its in the exhaust dump just behind the turbo. The part number is 22690−AL600

thanks dunc...maybe i'm just still used to hondas which used different O2 sensors (i remember euro had 2)...

i think my car's fuel efficiency is pretty bad, as in maybe about 350-400kms with about 3/4 tank (i use cruise control mainly for driving), my driving is 50% 80kph, 35% 70kph, 10% 60kph & 5% 100kph roads...

Drive it till the light comes on, and fill up completely - that way you can at least get a decent read on what your L/100km is and make a decision from there.

well the ECL is on all times, tried resetting like 3-5 times, every 2nd drive after that the light comes on...checked all the codes, all pointing to O2 sensor...so have to replace it anyways :(

i'll find out the fuel efficiency soon before and after putting on the new O2 sensor

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
