Hey guys, long time reader, dont post much as im a noob when it comes to the technical side of cars, in the last year i purchased a 2001 V35 sedan - I get it regularly serviced (has done about 180,000 KMS) by my local mechanic but at the moment there are quite a few issues and he doesn't know anything about them to fix them

If anyone could help that would be great, i am sorry if this is a repost!

1. Air Bag light on my dash is flashing, when i open the tv up it has an error written in Japanese *see below*

2. If i take off from traffic lights sometimes my car lags abit to click over to the next gear and then it suddenly clicks into the next gear and a bunch of black smoke comes from the exhaust,

3. Passenger window switch wont put window down however if i push it from my drivers side, it works fine

If anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated also if anyone could recommend a mechanic in the south east suburbs of Melbourne that would be great as i need to find someone who knows about these cars locally to help me

Thanks alot in advance

Jay

I can read the airbag code if you want Jay, or you will have to find a friendly Nissan dealership willing to put you car on their Consult 3 scanner to see what the problem is.

Have you flushed the transmission with new fluid, or changed it at all? The filter in the sump could be blocked. A Transgo kit is a good option to extend the life of your box, and speed up shifting.

Sounds like the window switch needs replacing, what color is it?

Thanks for the reply Scotty,

If you read it, that would be great just so i have some sort of an idea as to what it is

I'll be honest i havnt replaced any fluid in the transmission, my mechanic is a trans specialist so i assumed he would tell me this stuff, he said ages ago may need a service but never really followed up on it since, all he said last service was brakes need to be done.

i thought it might be the switch, its the beige colour.

Thanks again mate

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
