Hey, been looking for similar problems on the forum but wasn't too sure still.

Basically, my m35 stutters when driving slowly and turning tight, happened the first time when doing a U turn and since, when I am parking/reversing/...

I can take a video of the car doing it if you want to help explaining the problem.

I have an extra unrelated question. There is a small switch just behind the panel where the obd2 connector is, anyone would know what it is?

Thanks!

shudder could be because of the "tight corner phenomenon" and the 4wd system but thats just a guess. The switch sounds like it could be to turn on the attesa pump when u need to bleed the system

Ha! I've pressed that switch multiple times and not too sure in which position I left it :/

The shudder is quite intense once it starts, is there a way to easily turn off the 4WD to validate that ?

All this is just speculation tho, my car has the shudder at full lock too ;). I guess for the switch you could flick it on and off and listen for your pump under the back right hand side of your car while your car is off. if the pump don't turn on then its not the switch lol

No there isn't an easy or safe way. These have a different Awd system to the c34. It is not good for the transfer case. The only way to properly make it rear wheel drive is to pull the front drive shaft

Took the car for a ride and couldn't get it to shudder again so no video yet of it..

For the switch, I tried to follow the cables ( red and black+red) and they go up in the ride side of the steering wheel in the dash.

Maybe it's related to the alarm or something. The car also has this little remote to start it from outside (which doesn't work).

The switch is definitely not stock as it was fitted with screws in two holes in the lower dash just above the pedals. Can't see any light turning on/off when playing with it.

I never got the remote with my car. I just done some research to find out what the switch was for. Mine has a silver sticker above it with Japanese writing. Had it translated and yeah it is remote start

Ha! That's it then, got the same sticker so that's sorted out ! I'll get a video when the car shudders again and put it here, should help with the troubleshooting. Weird that it doesn't happen every time (maybe only when really hot, will have to test)

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • 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.
