i got my 370gt coupe through a dealer. after a month,i found my fuel gauge is not measuring the fuel amount

properly,like fuel gauge display always up and down ,even the car have full fuel,it would still give me a

warning of low fuel, then i brought back to show dealer, he said he would fix it for me ,after a few weeks

process,still cant fix it, end up the whole computer system is break down***the one manage all sort of

electrical centre unit: gps ,audio not working ,disc cant play ,air-con on and off by itself and system restart

when i am driving every 5 mins***

the dealer is going to response,it is already being 3months, they still cant find the part to replace it, even

infiniti/nissan cant help at all.

anyone know where to get this part in or know any write off 370gt that i can just buy the part from there?

PLEASE HELP ME OUT GUYS

really appreciate

Have they changed the battery and checked the connections? Sounds like a voltage issue to me, unless they have introduced a fault trying to fix the sender.

The senders in the fuel tank may be dirty, you can clean these with contact cleaner, sometimes comes good. There is a float sender in both sides of the tank to measure fuel level which then goes to the BCM I think.

i don't think there is a issue with battery , as one of the 370gt importer pulg a computer from other 370gt to my car , it does work again, so pretty sure is a computer issue.?

thanks for advise.

do you know where i can get a cleaner to clean it?

Metho, ethanol or contact cleaner will work, you should have no trouble finding contact cleaner an any auto parts store. Make sure you get replacement tank Orings from Nissan.

What computer did he replace, the engine ecu or the body control module?

ok i see, thanks

getting the computer which managing the center unit ,audio,air-con etc.....

I don't know if this will be helpful at all or not but when I was mucking around with my system I found that if you remove the 4-wire ribbon which runs into the actual touch screen overlay you will lose all of the system controls. I have no idea why the touch screen controller is directly connected to the rest of the systems but I found that the AC/Radio/steering wheel controls etc would all stop working with this 4-wire ribbon disconnected.

I would be pulling the entire facia apart and checking all of the connections because it seems that the systems are all interconnected. It may just be that they mucked around behind the stereo and something is now loose. It's pretty easy to pull apart and put back together.

My understanding of it was the thing would randomly reboot.

Screen output sits on the UART lines via a controller. Never delved too deeply into it though.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
