Does anyone in Brisbane have software to analyse my car? Something like data scan? Data scan is not configured for the V36 yet. I think I have a problem with one of the following but cannot be sure without spending thousands randomly replacing parts.

On light throttle (high load) there is a very subtle stumble, the engine feels smooth but the power delivery is on off on off. Give it WOT and it's fine. Originally I suspected the fuel 95ron, then the gearbox, then spark plugs which I replace. It also has a grounding kit. I have been using 98 octane and the problem has been there almost as long as I can remember. 2 years owned. People have suggested crank angle sensor, my mechanic has suggested a lazy O2 sensor. Does anyone have something they can definitive look at and prove something is malfunctioning? When I had my 300zx it was possible to see if you had a lazy O2 by looking at the duty cycle in data scan. I'm looking for something similar as I don't fancy replacing 4 O2 sensors on the off chance one of them is faulty?

P.S. Nissan won't look at it because it is an import and I don't trust them anyway.

The general consensus on the 350z forum is the VTC system being too sensitive to motor oil viscosity. Some said to open up the VTC and clean it up, some said they tried a few different motor oil and problem was mostly gone. Or as Andrew said above, that thread had a firmware update.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.

      Ah. I dunno why, but I skim read your earlier post and thought the manual switch was to force it on, not force it off. I'd be tempted to have both. So, your two in series, and another in parallel with those. Or, a master arm switch, followed by the manual force on and the thermo in parallel. 6 and 2 3s.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.

      Just 2, and inline. One switch temp related other switch driver controlled.   I'm nearly in my head back to Arduino land for it...
