HI

I wanting to hear from anyone with a 12/2004 onwards V35 350gt skyline preferably auto, or even a PM35 who has successfully fitted cruise to it to please reply.

I'm trying to find the speed wire for my PM35 and as much as Leon has helped me (Thank You VERY VERY VERY much Leon :worship: ) unfortunately his car and mine are different in the wiring dept.

I was hoping to pick it up off

1) the navigation unit with cd drive, or

2) the navigation transfer unit which is bolted to the ecu in my car, or

3) as a last resort the ecu itself.

If you have a wiring diagram for the above parts for your v35/pm35 or you just know the color and location of the speed wire that would also be of great help to me.

At the moment this seems to be the only hurdle I need to jump and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've spent many hours trawling the net for wiring diagrams all to no avail.

Thanks in advance guys.

Frank :cheers:

Have you thought about tapping in the speed sensor wire for the audio unit? That would be present in the loom from the CANBUS in case there was an audio that needed it.

This was one of Leon's options for installing the Cruise in the NM35, but I know for my installation, I actutally used the feed from the ECU. On my V36 Skyline, I only needed to tap into the OBD2 connector and that gave the Cruise brain, the speed and brake pedal signals..

I have attached an extract from the 2005 G35 audio service manual that gives some wiring info.

Hope it helps.

not sure about the NM35, but the V35 does not have the speed signal wire on the audio unit like the USDM G35 does.

I was looking at connecting this up when I installed an G35 HU, but I couldn't find the speed signal wire that suited. The one taped to the Aircon pipe used for the Cruise install is not the correct signal for the G35 HU.

Speed is done down the CAN line, the ecu doesn't output it and nor does the dash afaik. The speed signal comes from the ABS computer, not sure you want to go stuffing about with that either.

Are you sure that plug isn't taped to another loom?

Thanks for that Nick.

Yes I did consider Leon's option of the speed wire @ the audio unit, but on his car he has 4 plugs with the speed wire clearly identified and my car only has 3 plugs, of which only 1 of the plugs is identical in wire colors and its not the one with 'his' speed wire in it.

I've found my obd connector but again I'd need a relevant wiring diagram to find out which wire is what.

I've been told by the supplier of the cruise that my car 'should' be running speed down the can line and on a analogue line, hence why I got an analogue cruise kit and that's what Leon is also supplying from memory.

I was looking at the 'engine' ecu where the signal inputs to it (btw my car doesn't have an external trans ecu, its built inside the trans).

Your correct I don't want to mess around with the abs module either.

I've found a spreadsheet which talks of a speed wire which apparently is pin 2 at brown 4-way connector, LH of steering

column taped to climate control duct but Im yet to look and confirm this, that was for a skyline 350gt.

I have attached a picture which I believe is the a/c hose greg and the spreadsheet are referring to and I've circled in red.

Correct me if Im wrong.

Thanks

Hi Frank.

The extract from the US manual does only show 3 plugs going into the audio unit... Page AV-10 plug M39, the biggest of the 3..

This also shows that the data output from the LAN-CAN needs to be converted before it can be read. This is shown on the diagram as the Unififed Meter Control Unit.

As my V36 uses the normal OBD2 protocols, unlike my M35, I was able to use a generic cruise that is able to read the speed and brake light switch through the LAN-CAN system.. so only taping into 2 wires there.

Hi Frank,

Yes that was exactly what I did.. Tapped into the tramsission ECU for the speed, 2 connections to the brake pedal then the power. Also used the supplied stalk controller as I had a Momo steering wheel, which does not work with the OEM switches.

Installation on the V36 was even easier for the cruise, but getting the controls connected though the steering clockspring was a nightmare!!

Sorry to go a bit off topic here, but Nick what cruise control unit have you got fitted to your vehicle? If you don't mind me asking.

Yes well thats where my problem lies, in mine doesnt have an external trans ecu like yours, and I checked last night I also dont have the wire taped to the a/c duct that i circled in my previous post.

Unless mine is more like your V36 in that I can tap into the obd plug.

How did you come to find out you could do that on your V36?

Do you have a wiring diagram for the obd plug?

Thanks

My V36 is 2009 MY and was a global car for Nissan as the G37, hence why it was straight forward to get a cruise control arranged using the normal OBD wires. I also have a bluetooth dongle connected to the port, which works with my Gamin sat nav to give trip computer functionallity, additional gauges and diagnostics. It is that conventional.. This unit would not work on my NM35.

Pretty certain that the PM35s do not run the conventional ODB2 protocols, so unlikely you will find a digital cruise that will get the signals though the OBD2 port working correctly on your car.

Did you look at that extract I uploaded for you? The G35 series 2 also run a 3 plug audio like your PM so it might be the same with the speed sensor wire. I think that speed output is part of the ISO standard wiring for the speed sensitive volume feature.

This wire does not exist on the V35. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a USDM thing.

Okay, no problems I'll drop it... :D

Just find it weird that speed sensor for audio would be on the NM35/Series 1 V35 but then removed for the PM35/Series2 V35...

Those Nissan engineers.... Crazy guys...

Hi Nick

Yes I did look @ the manual you supplied,and though i took photos of my wiring earlier in the week, I dont think they are good enough because i cant see all the way round them, so I will look @ them again with a copy of your diagram and see if it matches up.

OK

So it's confirmed now.

I have rechecked my wire colors and have compared them with 2003-2009 g35/g37 sedan and coupes and the usdm I can say without a doubt, are different to my car @ the least.

Does anyone have a V35 factory service manual?? PLEASE :unsure:

FYI Here's what my M39 plugs consists of, assuming the wire I need is in fact in this plugpost-4392-0-78963800-1422189661_thumb.jpg.

Sorry to go a bit off topic here, but Nick what cruise control unit have you got fitted to your vehicle? If you don't mind me asking.

I have this VDO unit;

http://www.autostrada.com.au/nissan-cruise-controls.html

Which I bought from a different supplier, as autostrada were not doing the V36 units at the time..

But they do sell them on eBay now...

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cruise-Control-Kit-Nissan-Skyline-V36-3-7-V6-2006-ON-With-D-Shaped-control-swit-/321583055906?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4adfd80422

Well worth the money and a straightforward installation with good instructons attached for interest...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
