Hi Guys

I'm new to the forum. I have a 2002 M35 250t.RX Could you help me with a electrical issue? The dashboard lights plus high beam plus indicator arrows have stopped working. I've checked all the fuses and can't find any blown. Any ideas please?

Water in the IPDM unit most likely, the unit behind the battery in the upsidedown case.

Pretty common for the battery compartment to flood with water and short the IPDM, the bung in the bottom gets blocked with crud, and when you go around a corner it sloshes all over the relay board and IPDM ecu.

Just pop the large bung out (under the battery tray) and it can never happen again. Should come good once it dries out, unless it blew a fuse on the IPDM board. I bet you didn't check those fuses...

Thanks guys i havent used the car for a couple months so the battery area was dry and i checcked all the fuses behind batteryall were ok .i did have a blown brake light fuse sometime ago which hapened when i attatched my trailer but i replaced it and the brake lighhts are working fine.Any more ideas please could it be a relay?cheer Deano

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
