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

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
