Hi guys

Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I replaced my battery today and now i have beeping noise coming from my driver's footwell. The beeps quicken when i have the ignition on or turn the car on.

I tried searching here and G35 forums with limited success.

I tried holding down the buttons on the keyfob for 3-4 secs, couldnt get the horn to sound or lights to flash (had read that this can 'reset' beep noises in cabin)

Have also inspected each of the fuses in the driver's footwell, all are good.

Any ideas from anyone?

Cheers

Mat

hmm sorry I can't be of more help but since nobody else has chimed in so far...

I take it no warning lights on the dash suddenly lighting up with the beep?

You could try resetting the ECU & see if that stops the beeping.

hope you get it sorted soon

Thanks Yo-yo, yeah no warning lights, car seems to operate normally.

Whats the easiest way to reset the ECU? I've read theres a few ways and not all of them apparently work!?

Cheers

^^ does that still work?? I thought resetting the ECU by disconnecting the power was something that hasn't worked since the mid 1990s? everything is stored in flashRAM now isn't it?

i put a Z tube on my 2003 A/T on Saturday and the final instruction was to disconnect the negative side of the battery to reset the ECU. It worked. ;)

mattyray did it stop beeping :huh:

Nope, doesnt seem to work. Reconnected battery this arvo and the beep is still there.

Too scared to drive it around with a constant beeping at me.....havent found anywhere that can look at it for at least a week!?

grrrrrr

Yeah, thats exactly what i asked for from 3 Nissan dealerships, earliest i could get in was 6th of June!

Cheers for the advice anyways guys.

Happy to hear from anyone else who has encountered similar issues.

6th of June - they've got to be pulling your leg! Probably giving you crap service because it's an import.

You could try a Repco mechanic or some other private workshop. Many of them have a comprehensive array of diagnostic devices.

Heck, I could probably post you my Cipher cable to get there before then.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
