overdrive buttoon has stopped working, now I am stuck in overdrive off mode.

this means shiat highway driving economy.

the overdrive works if I press and hold the button in on the shifter (auto), so i am thinking its likely to be the button at fault not the transmission right? The button just pops back out to 'off' setting each time you try and press it in (where it would usually stay depressed and in 'overdive on' mode).

I am taking it into shop tomorrow, but let me know if anyone knows how to correct this or has had it happen to them.

cheers

Luke

kursed - if it's just the button I'd be happy to have a look at it for ya - can't guarantee I can fix it but if it's just the spring or something worst come to worse we can bugger that nice stock looking car and put another button in haha :D

But yeah it could be just the spring got tired - in which case it may be just a case of helping the spring go back in properly and/or resetting/replacing it.

Just drop round on the weekend.

oi kursed... you really got that many k's? and auto? is it non turbo? your car and my car are growing ever so similiar by the day...

having said that... the A32 maxima (the old one, the first one to come into the country under the "maxima")

have the same dash setup as the A31, and as being a complete and utter grandpa mobile, most came as autos, try a wrecker because they are common as all hell, so the new shift knob shouldn't cost too much if you just "give them an exchange part" if ya know what i mean...

hope this helps a bit buddy!

don't make me paranoid!

I have never heard of that in my life, nor could i find an example on the web where anyone has ever referenced that as an indicator of non genuine kms.

so please, would you care to back that up?

cars that look like kursed's don't have more than 50ks on the clock, that's just not how it works, his car is m.i.n.t and that spells mint, sorry guys,

maybe the spring(the end of the spring) in the button has fallen out of the bit that holds onto the spring in place and it's just popped out?

can't really explain over the net, i can draw an mspaint diagram if it don't make sense.,

well i took it to nissan to get bent over, its just the button needs replacing.

Of course that means the whole gear shifter shaft has to be replaced as you cannot open the unit up due to construction of it.

$208 for the replacement from jap. could be worse.

Mate, i wasnt being serious about the kms.

Who cares what the speedo says anyway, even if it has been wound back.

As far as im concerned if you get no problems then you have a good buy.

But if its genuine, good for you.

I know, thats why i replied with a funny lil pic - as I knew you were just having a dig, and that doesn't bother me one bit - humours always good!

mase, off the bandwagon mate.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
