I have had my 2001 GT300 (here in Australia) since 2013. During that time, the VDC dash light remains on permanently and my engine light never comes on even on ignition.

When I had problems with oxygen sensor, neither independent mechanic or Nissan mechanic could source the cause of these problems or the Nissan Error Code PO650 which is described as 'MIL/CIRC.'  I am hoping that someone has come across these problems and error before who will let me know so I can finally work out what to do. Thank you,

I would say thank you but for your sarcasm that was simply not necessary, typical macho/ego 'man' eh?

As the Nissan mechanic told me he searched everywhere and made calls I again made the stupid mistake of trusting I was being told the truth, stupid.... stupid.....

Never trust anything until you can see it for yourself............

I didn't think Cal was being overly sarcastic, just a bit of tough love, and you should probably take this as a valuable lesson.  Try the internet, then try searching on SAU, then ask.  And don't forget, at least he took the time to answer you.  I bet you won't forget now!!!

Oh and I'd change mechanics while I was at it:cool:

I'd start with checking the bulb, it's likely missing or burned out, and it's possible VDC comes on because the MIL globe is not working (since you obviously can't show a failure of the MIL light using the MIL light).  So best case, nothing is wrong at all except that.  I take it there is no sign of any problem except the lights and the P0650 using the scan tool.

And Callan thanks for the link, I never realised OBD codes were common (although it makes sense, since they are designed to allow non manufacturers to service cars).  I assume not all codes are common to all cars though because many cars have specific or even unique functions.

This site is not for people to do the work for you, it is to get help. It takes less time to search than to create a thread, and you already had all the information you needed. Maybe it was a bit harsh, but in fairness, it was the first or second result on google on my first search attempt

You'd be surprised what you can find on google

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
