Hi all,

any recommendation for getting car service/scan in west or close to city of Melbourne?

My 350GT8 doesnt like the hot weather most of the time,

something feels like overheated in the middle of drive, the transmission doesnt shift up and act funny like rev up as much as I smash the paddle then release it quickly even my foot never move. (at this point all panel lights are normal)

so i pull over and turn off engine and restart, the CVT light flashe, but when i try with the engine self diagnose, all i got is 10s of long/short flashes (means 0000)

i had to pull aside on the road, turn off engine and cool it down a bit before it become drivable again.

so far this only happens to hot day (over 35 degrees), i've checked other posts and someone had similar issue with speed sensor.

I want get a proper scan before look into possibility of CVT failure...because its gonna cost me too much to get it done for sure,

Cheers,

does it matter if i can take it for scan straight away as I been overseas for 2 weeks and left battery out during this time,

not sure if that will reset the ECU/TCU codes and i havnt drive the car yet.

or does make it any different if i bring the car for scan on the HOT day too?

Leaving the battery disconected wont do anything (will not reset ECU or clear codes).

You want to try and get them to scan when you are suffering the symptoms. If the car is really only affected when its hot, it may be that there is a dodgy switch/sensor that only breaks down when really hot. So in short if you have problems when its hot, test when its hot.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
