If you have HICAS, then it's LSD. Most likely is AR-X models, however the lucky few have it as an option on the Rs/Rx.

The throttle reset is tricky to get right. Go through from the begging, ecu reset, throttle position learn, and then idle learn.

I'm giving the stag some love this weekend - will be cleaning throttle body (idle reset procedure didnt work, idles at 1400 in N), doing fluids in transmission, attessa and diffs. Do the diffs require LSD fluid?

Cleaning the throttle will only make it worse, make sure there are no vac leaks (the PCV hose is a common culprit) and no engine lights as it doesn't set the idle with an error present.

Change the transfer case fluid too. ;)

Oh - I read some posts on other forums where cleaning the throttle body helped get the idle reset to work. I'll pull it apart and have a look, but i'll be much more cautious after what you've said. Will the check engine light be on in normal driving if i have an error?

I sprayed aerostart on a few hose ends but didnt get any flaring, so couldn't find a leak that way. There is vacuum at idle, so if there's a leak its not huge.

For me attessa = transfer case, so that's in the list. Might do power steering fluid while im at it.

PN-MAD - I went through "Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning" and "Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" first - is that what u mean or is ECU reset different?

Yeah, that's what I meant.

It's pretty obvious when it does the idle learn. When hot, it revs up to 1800 rpm, then drops to the point it almost stalls, then goes back up to 600-650 and steadys. It can be hard to nail the timing, but it does work.

Last resort is get Nissan to do it with consult.

So I think I worked out why my M35 keeps throwing the code 1320. I took the coil packs off to change the plugs and half of the plugs were covered in oil on the outside. The tubes look like the seals are leaking and oil is getting past the O rings in the rocker covers.

Has anyone else experienced this? And where would i get rocker cover gaskets and the o rings.

Yes, it's very common.

But oil is an insulator, so shouldn't effect the coil packs. There is two ways of sealing. First buy whole new rocker covers. The seals are integrated. Or, two, try copper seal or something similar on the rocker covers to try to seal them.

Btw, wrong thread?

FYI - got the idle procedure to work - now idles at just over 600, and is completely smooth. Much better. Hopefully ill get more than ~300kms a tank now.... If not, ill swap the o2 sensor(s). ECU code was 0000.

Transmission fluid looked fine on the dipstick so i had thought it was probably ok, but when I dropped it, it was brown (not too dark) and stunk terribly. The transmission sump plug was completely clean, but ill do the transmission fluid again after say 500kms since its only 4 out of 10 litres from the sump each time.

Just get the Transgo shift kit done Stabby, it changes most of the fluid in one hit and is a must do mod for the M35, along with the brake wire cut. It sounds like the trans has been cooking, was there much red powder in the oil pan?

Not sure about red powder - i just dropped the fluid not the pan. Is the plug magnetic? Is the red powder metallic?

I'm trying to NOT mod the stag since its the daily. The GTR is for that stuff. Would you recommend the shift kit and brake mod for all use modes?

Edit:

PN - yep i'm in Sydney. Sounds like the shift kit is just better for any use type - right? I probably wont worry about the cooler tho since full synth fluid handles high temps so much better than non-syth stuff, and I wont be driving the stag too hard.

The trans will be fine in winter, it just needs a helping hand in summer really, to cool the fluid down and help it last. Heat is what kills auto's.

I would recommend the shift kit for any M35, however it's driven. The stock pressures are very low for comfort and soft shifts, but that is what promotes clutch wear. If the clutches go it could cost you 3-4 grand for a build, unless you can pick up a S/H one to replace it.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
