Sup fam,

Can anyone help plz!! So my 07 v36 350gt started acting funny yesterday. Turned the car on and clusters, petrol gauge and temp gauge isn't working. Then went to shift out of park but shift lock wont release. Aaaaand theeeeen??, went to turn on aircon and that too is not working... just wondering if any body has had any similar issues and how you went about fixing it. Any info would be much appreciated... might have to change my username to juice box now ???

Thanks

Yeah I've gone through and checked all fuses in fuse box and in engine next to battery but they seem to be fine. I got the translate app to translate from jap to English. Q. Are there any other fuse or relays I haven't checked or knew existed located in car apart from the obvious?

Well then. There is a manual override for the gear lever. Find it and use it to see if you can get it out of park. As to the rest, either break out the wiring diagram and a multimeter, and go looking for power and earths where they should be, or, take it to an auto eleccy.

Despite not having the dash working, how about the rest of the car's electrics? Doors unlock from the keyfob and whatnot? If so, then if there is a device failure, it could be the A/C+instrument module which is the white plastic module that sits above the headunit. That takes a number of sensor inputs and it drives the A/C controls, instrument cluster and the shift lock solenoid.

I have experimented on my V36 with this unit in the past when I was sniffing around for a parking brake switch wire, and it yielded the same results. So I would be checking to make sure it has power going to it, as well as all the right signals going in and out of it. Get your hands on the workshop manual and go through the list of signals to trace.

Good luck.

Yep everything else functions fine. Key is All good locks, windows, mirrors and all the rest just those problems atm. Man u could be right because that's exactly what's not working. Also the paddleshift stopped same time. Not sure if those are connected to dash gauges and clusters etc. But I'll get a pic up of the dash coz I can't find a white module above the head unit??? 

Thanks for the info. How would I go about fixing?

Inside the dash. Not visible without disassembly.

Going back to this - have to taken them out and put them back in? I have the occasional problem in my R32 where the contact points of the fuses on the terminals get enough corrosion/oxidation on them that they get flaky. Just moving the fuses a bit is enough to fix them for the next couple of years.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
