Hi Guys, i'm in love with my 370gt, my first car here in Australia and i'm thinking to get a new look for the interior. My question is if someone knows if newer parts from nissan would fit our babes.. for now i'm thinking on post 2018 Qasqai steering wheel and shift knobs, they look fresh and clean. What are your thoughts on this kind of mods?

Will they fit?

 

 cheers!

You might be the first to try.

If you can do a test swap with someone that has a Qasqai before you commit.

The plugs for the steering wheel buttons might be the same, but if not you can always rewire

Airbag compatibility is another consideration.

Do you know if is there any way to check this? like technical specs or something like this? the plug seem to be the same, but not sure about the voltage, resistance, or anything else that could involve this

You'd be well advised to work from factory service manuals.

What do you mean "Just checked here"? Do you mean you looked around on SAU for FSMs? Or do you men you asked here? Because, you'll probably need to put more effort in than that to obtain both FSMs. Theres' no way that anyone on SAU gives 2 shits about Qashqais, so won't have a manual. And, you are probably the 1st person ever to want to swap a wheel from a more modern Renault Nissan into a V series Skyline.

I looked on infiniti g37 service manual, and only show info about the replacement procedure, there's no technical details on it.

Yeah, probably XD.. i prefer this newer models much more than those carbon fiber aftermarket ones, and they would be waaay cheaper also, so gain/gain if it works

 

well, i quit.. if it was just a project car or track, i would probably do it, but is my daily one.. so i will get one of these and it's fine:

But thanks for help @GTSBoy

o0ooo.. these sew on's are a huge commitment. Get the video before you buy, and check around on how long it takes for a first timer, not a professional. I think I saw something on youtube which made me hesitant to go down that path.

Yeah, i seen it. It require some patience to do. But i already installed my niftycity module,, so with my car i have it xD.. but i guess it's necessary to remove the steering wheel from the car, even they saying that is not required, doing that inside the car would be a pain in the axx.

Please report back with how you go! They look great in the photos. But then I saw the list of ingredients and went "yeah nah, I would completely stuff that up".

What’s in the box

  • 1 Mewant steering wheel cover
  • 1 installation instruction
  • 1 double-side tape
  • 2 sew thread
  • 1 thimble
  • 1 needle
  • 1 small blade

 

@Vee37, do you know of any professionals who do this? I like the idea of getting a well fitting cover instead of going for a whole new steering wheel.

No, the most obvious target, you would normally pay Motor Trimmers, who charge by the hour, it looks very labor intensive in time, and therefore I think it wouldn't be cheap.

One thing I have thought to look into is something like Air-Tasker. At least then you are not paying a skilled professional rate to perform simple repetitive monkey work.

Just did a quick search on YouTube, and found this vid. It took him 6hrs.

One thing I did notice before I fond the above vid, there are different patterns to stitch it to together, some would obviously take longer, but as expected, probably look better.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
