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!

Actually it's factory turbo, .... If its looking like i need to replace the stick I'll check the wreckers! thanks mate.

so you have a non turbo version?

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.

dude dont even worry bout that mine did it to at 70,000 though i just carry a roll of electrical tape around and tape the thing down on the freeway not for much longer though :D yay for five speed woooowwooooooooo

yer but i'm a perfectionist - - - - I have to have it fixed..... plus it would shit me to have bitsa of tape hanging off my car!

So your getting a conversion to manual? toight. let me know how much it sets you back

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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
