Hey guys my car seems to have come across a 'common problem' with the v35 coupe but is a little different and sounds more serious then others..

anyway i started the car this morning only to notice these problems

- VDC, SLIP, AT CHECK all lights on

- No speedo or tacho

- No indicator arrows blinking (although indicators were actually working)

- No wipers (they would come on some times)

- sluggish and rough changing gears

- Headlights were flickering and flashing even when they were switched off.

- Stereo and a/c working fine, seats, mirrors all working fine?

Now the battery seems fine..

however I was driving through some quite heavy rain last night on the highway.. could this be an issue?

I've also read that this sometimes happen when break pads need replacing.. are they easy to check how much pad is left? if so whats involved?

would really love some help/advice asap as the car was supposed to be put on the market this week!

thanks in advance guys

I can't see how worn brake pads can cause this..??

Sounds more like a power related issue.. possibly bad ground points.. Sorry, I don't have a difinitive answer for you.

fuse boxes.

one in the drivers kick panel, one in front of the battery, and one behind the battery. youll need to take off the cover and get the battery out to get to it. there are a LOT of fuses in there

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
