Just bought a 2001 300gt and I've searched but still have a few questions.

Done the manifold clean because it had hot starting issues ( it was caked on in there!). Now I have high idle problems. I've tried the reset thingo but still no go. Not sure if I'm doin it right or is there a different sequence for 300's? Just brings up a picture of a spanner and says "pit" on the screen.

Also I've read that 300's don't have vdc bit mine has? Also has a electronic muffler and that sonar cruise control thing. There's a button under the dash near the muffler and vdc controls that says "auto". Anyone know what it does? Small round one.

Please move if not in right section. Cheers

It should work, it works on vq25det motors, which have similar ecus. The timing is the most critical thing, and it must be done when the car is hot.

Pit screen is totally unrelated. Pit screen is just a service reminder scheduled into the on board computer. It requires a manual reset you go through the menus to do.

What do you mean vdc? Traction control?

Auto is probably the rear mirror tilt.

Thank mate, guess I'm just a dud then

Ah k at second glance the button has a picture of a side mirror on it so it might be that?

Yea vdc (vehicle dynamic control) I believe it's called. Makes no difference on/off guess maybe in the wet or really flogging it.

Cheers

No v35 has VDC in the true sense of the modern system.

The rwd models have traction control, which cuts power once rear wheel slip is detected. It does not provide any assistance to gather the car back up into control.

Awd models as in stageas and g35x don't have any systems but the attesa awd system.

Yup, it tilts the side mirro down when in reverse to see the kerb.

What do you mean 'true sense'?

The 350GTs have VDC that can brake individual wheels when it detects loss of control based on steering wheel angle, wheel speed and yaw sensor. and it does much more than the basic TC that the 300 and 250GT has which just prevent rear wheel spin due to a heavy right foot.. Although VDC may have been an option on those according to the OP's info.

Really? Cool. I thought they only got TC not a proper stability system. RWD stageas only got traction control, no vdc. Which is a bit lacking by 2007.

yep, mine gets tested every now and then. There is an off camber roundabout near my house that gets stupidly slippery with the first rain of the wet season.

Yeah but even when you turn it off it still keeps the braking/antislip on so if you are used to a car stepping out and tap the brakes the anti slip kicks, or even go round a wet corner under slight brakes it kicks in only braking one caliper... weirdest/worst feeling if you try to correct it like a normal RWD car, almost conterproductive

I have heard that a simple 'press-off' will only turn it off up to 60km/h, and there is some other procedure for switching it off for all speeds, something like holding the button in for 10 sec.. never tried it myself, so I can't be sure.

It should turn off VDC and TC. but I don't think it turns off ABS.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
