Hi guys,

Anyone know a good place in Melbourne to address air bag and cruise control issues.

I've had problems for about 2yrs. I know how to reset the air bag light but it always comes back. Before it used to be a few months, now it's probably gone for 1/2 a day.

Regarding the cruise control, if I turn it on, it beeps and the warning light comes on straight away (plus the japanese warning message on the screen). Can't set speed or anything.

I've checked the pedals, read as much about it on G35 and V35 forums, but I'm stuck so I wanna go somewhere that knows this car.

Called Nissan Frankston service dept and they never heard of the car! $130 per hour to diagnose the fault.

Not sure I could trust them to find the issue.

Cheers

One of their mechanics has an M35 Stagea so they should be fine to work on them. Their consult III will give you the codes required to find the faults.

thanks Scotty...do you mean at Frankston they've got someone who knows them? May have just been the guy I got on the phone.

Besides Nissan Frankston, do you know any other places I could go or would you generally recommend a Nissan service dept.

In regards to the airbag light problem, if these are anything like the Toyota Hiluxes then it's just a small spring behind the dash that needs replacing it's a $20 job and a little bit fiddly if you don't know what you're doing. I just know that it's a common problem with Hiluxes so i'm not really sure if that's helped..

The mechanic you spoke to on the phone might not want to work on the car, you will get that a lot with these vehicles lol.

Without reading the code you could chase that light for weeks. Drop down to a Nissan dealer and get them to read the code, then take it from there. Most parts will be available S/H, I have most of them here.

  • 2 weeks later...

Took it to Nissan, and for a couple of hundred bucks I was told my cruise control laser sensor was reporting a fault - $2000 to replace and fit.

Also told my L) air bag module was faulty - $1950 to replace and fit.

So for almost $4000 I don't think it's worth it.

Any suggestions guys?

Scotty, you mentioned some parts could be obtained S/H? Where would you suggest I start?

The parts quoted were: K8515AL500 (air bag module) and 28437AL5100 (cruise sensor). Thanks

Left airbag module, so the passenger side dash? I have one here but I can't ship it. Where are you located?

Personally I would ditch the cruise and buy an aftermarket one, they can be had for as little as $500. Mine works seamlessly and can be user adjusted, all you lose is the radar part.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
