Hello,

Taking the v35 to a mechanic next week, but would like to know if anyone has had a similar problem and would like to know how much im looking at to fix.

Out of know where the VDC, SLIP and Immobilizer light all came on, power is reduced, (seems like it is in limp mode, revs will not go over 3an a half) and it is very irritating.

I have tried disconnecting the battery, checked brake pads and all fluids, was not doing any irrational driving so i cannot understand why its happening.

After the car is turned off for at least 20 mins, and switched back on the only light that is always on is the immobilizer which is stock, then with out fail they all go back within about 10 mins, and no power again. The car will then hesitate to start whilst those lights are on.

Anyone at all had something similar happen?

Appreciate the replies. :unsure:

was driving home yesterday and the oil pressure light came on at idle and car stalled.. maybe that could be why its going into limp mode/slip light coming on. Major service was only done in november with the oil and filter changes, so i hope its not the oil pump and just a sensor, not hearing any unusual sounds either.

yeh oil level is fine, im in canberra, just really wanna make sure it will be ok to drive to the mechanic on wednesday, the light only came on once like a said they car stalled, i started it back up and made it home without it coming on again which is a 30 min drive, 40 mins to mechanic though

Happened to my 350 coupe once before I bought it (mate's car). Sounds like exactly the same problem you encountered i.e. VDC/SLIP on, car in limp mode... Changed a cam sensor and things are all good but that's just for me. Take it to a good mechanic and put on Consult III definitely.

Yep.. mine did exactly the same thing, but was caused by a bad connection on my after-market cruise control, which threw a 'accelerator pedal sensor' fault. So certainly needs codes read to know the cause.

no worries thanks for the input guys, yeh hope thats all it is, the mechanic specializes in skylines so i hope he will do. Excuse my ignorance but what is a Consult 3?

The only light that remains on the whole time is the immobilizer.. so did it stall and oil pressure light come on for any of you when SLIP light was on?

Consult is Nissan's diagnostic system, consult3 is the most recent revision, this is what Nissan plugs into your car to diagnose issues.

There are several consult3 clones you can buy to do the same job.

Even some basic diag tools can do simple tasks like read error codes. I used Nissan datascan to check the code when I had these symptoms.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
