Could you guys explain a little bit about this problem how to figure out this problem ,as i have got 250 gt sedan 2007 i felt it losses power while driving .Especially when i take my foot off from accltr i felt this today few times.

Cars just back from Nissan. This other branch seems to be very familiar with this problem. From their previous findings, this problem must be software as they have even replaced with a brand new engine on another Skyline v36 and the problem still persists. Put it point blank - THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN ISSUE.

They also sort of know that there is a software update that can solve this issue, but Nissan Japan won't release to NZ !!

I have read that for the Infinity's in the USA - software update did solve it permanently.

Btw, I have just tried the exhaust relearn procedure and this reduces this problem slightly.

Anyone knows how to update software without Nissan's help?

EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL LEARNING - Without CONSULT-III

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Set selector lever to N position (A/T) or neutral position (M/T) and confirm that following electrical or
mechanical loads are not applied.
- Headlamp switch is OFF
- Air conditioner switch is OFF
- Rear defogger switch is OFF
- Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
3. Keep the engine speed between 1,800 and 2,000 rpm at 20 seconds.

Hey mate would you be able to explain this problem to me as i have got 250 gt sedan 2007,i think mine has got this problem but before i say it does i want to confirm and take it back to dealers as car is under warranty

Just got a call from Infiniti, Nissan japan are closed for winter until this coming monday, they expect information mid-late next week. I was told they're confident as they're new in Australia they want to help as much as possible to get the Infiniti name in peoples good books.

He also said if they're able to get it, they will simply put it on flash drive and send it to Main north Nissan SA :)

I asked about simply buying a new updated ECU and I was told that all ECU's sent from Japan are blank.

just a thought, have you guys tried adjusting your idle RPM when in D higher? such as 1100-1200 instead of 850.

As i noticed alot of autos idle higher than manuals (which are generally 7-900rpm)

as it appears to be happening at low RPM on take off only, unless you guys mean lowish rpm = under 3000rpm..

My idle once warmed up actually sits around the 550 mark, and sometimes while stopped at the lights will drop to 300 and vibrate for a few seconds.

All of my other problems though are during normal driving, under 3000rpm. If I slam it to 4,500-5000 that usually clears up the bucking problem, but not the hesitation from stop start.

Agreed, I can't justify charging anywhere near what they do, for even simple fault diagnosis. $150 to plug the Consult 3 in, if they even want to. Stupidly expensive parts pricing, which you must use if they do the work, and no warranty on the parts because 'Import' is just wrong. Plus they generally have no idea, so what exactly are you paying 1000's for?

Yeh it's incredible, even the cost of my o2 sensor a few pages back OMG!

If the firmware update doesn't fix anything, then a thread that GFX sent me sounds like the only option left ( http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/showthread.php/2007-g35-hesitation-dealer-mystified-ideasi-10652.html )

I break out in a sweat imaging the cost of removing the timing covers and replacing all the seals (oil gallery gasket?) done by Nissan.

Just recently had this issue, thought at first it was just my foot position on the accelerator.
Glad u can get some help from Melbourne Infiniti, called them to see if they can help me get a key coded, and got no where at all..

Nissan can do keys, tell them to use the Nissan Micra program. The guys at Main North Nissan in SA almost didn't do my keys until another branch they called said to use the Micra, bang! done.

Anyone with a Consult 3 or 3+ can do it apparently, not sure I would want to have a crack though, I imagine bricking an ecu isn't what awsam needs right now. :P

Nissan can do it once he has the flash file, the actual reflash is the easy part.

anyone thought of asking how much inifiti/nissan japan would charge to do this?

would probably be cheaper sending ecu there have firmware updated and paying for return shipping, could use jesse streeter for this.

I suggested flying to Melb with the ECU in my pocket, but Infiniti told me it needs to be in the car.

Heya princesng,

With my car the problem is that the when the car is warm, meaning around 5-10 mins after starting the engine. If i accelerate slowly, from the 800+RPM mark, the car will hesitate at exactly the 1000rpm mark. This problem does not happen when:

1. the car is cold (immediately after cold start)

2. If you remove the connectors of the 2 cam retarders in the front of the engine (see previous posts). Doing this verifies that you have the same problem.

Hope this explains..

I will check this,but when i start car in the morning i let it run for about 3 min atleast,till RPM comes to 1000 then wen i move into drive it gives a push as well i have to check this as well i think this is a problem with my car and second thing i have noticed sometimes when i start my car not specially in the morning some shutter sound comes from ac compartment as well not always though

Cheers for explaining this i wll be in touch if further information needed

So if that's the issue surely there's a fix?

Yeah true. But according to Nissan this is a software issue and they wouldn't troubleshoot it...

Where did u buy ur car from as i bought from one of the local car yard i cud take it back cz these problems are quite annoying once you know.

Experienced this once on my other car. It was a dirty throttle body..

Felt it too on my friends turbocharged vw and corrolla... seems normal though. Slight stutter on acceleration from stop.

doesnt happen on my 350gt. Im hearing enough loose panels in the car :rolleyes:

Just putting my 2cents worth

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
