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.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
