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

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
