YEE-HAA

On the occasions I need paint work done, I used Silver Motor Bodies @ Windsor Gardens. They do a lot of late model high end cars like porsche, Range Rovers etc. Also they dont look down @ you for driving a Nissan. Speak to Tony (owner) or Joyce.

I'd like to get a copy of these instructions for a V35....

OK So it's confirmed now. I have rechecked my wire colors and have compared them with 2003-2009 g35/g37 sedan and coupes and the usdm I can say without a doubt, are different to my car @ the least. Does anyone have a V35 factory service manual?? PLEASE FYI Here's what my M39 plugs consists of, assuming the wire I need is in fact in this plug.

Hi Nick Yes I did look @ the manual you supplied,and though i took photos of my wiring earlier in the week, I dont think they are good enough because i cant see all the way round them, so I will look @ them again with a copy of your diagram and see if it matches up.

Yes well thats where my problem lies, in mine doesnt have an external trans ecu like yours, and I checked last night I also dont have the wire taped to the a/c duct that i circled in my previous post. Unless mine is more like your V36 in that I can tap into the obd plug. How did you come to find out you could do that on your V36? Do you have a wiring diagram for the obd plug? Thanks

Nick Did you put cruise in your m35 then, if so did you just use Leon's version of instructions?

I've been told by the supplier of the cruise that my car 'should' be running speed down the can line and on a analogue line, hence why I got an analogue cruise kit and that's what Leon is also supplying from memory. I was looking at the 'engine' ecu where the signal inputs to it (btw my car doesn't have an external trans ecu, its built inside the trans). Your correct I don't want to mess around with the abs module either. I've found a spreadsheet which talks of a speed wire which apparently is pin 2 at brown 4-way connector, LH of steering column taped to climate control duct but Im yet to look and confirm this, that was for a skyline 350gt. I have attached a picture which I believe is the a/c hose greg and the spreadsheet are referring to and I've circled in red. Correct me if Im wrong. Thanks

Thanks for that Nick. Yes I did consider Leon's option of the speed wire @ the audio unit, but on his car he has 4 plugs with the speed wire clearly identified and my car only has 3 plugs, of which only 1 of the plugs is identical in wire colors and its not the one with 'his' speed wire in it. I've found my obd connector but again I'd need a relevant wiring diagram to find out which wire is what.

HI I wanting to hear from anyone with a 12/2004 onwards V35 350gt skyline preferably auto, or even a PM35 who has successfully fitted cruise to it to please reply. I'm trying to find the speed wire for my PM35 and as much as Leon has helped me (Thank You VERY VERY VERY much Leon ) unfortunately his car and mine are different in the wiring dept. I was hoping to pick it up off 1) the navigation unit with cd drive, or 2) the navigation transfer unit which is bolted to the ecu in my car, or 3) as a last resort the ecu itself. If you have a wiring diagram for the above parts for your v35/pm35 or you just know the color and location of the speed wire that would also be of great help to me. At the moment this seems to be the only hurdle I need to jump and any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent many hours trawling the net for wiring diagrams all to no avail. Thanks in advance guys. Frank

As with many filters, you can have several filters which will fit the same motor. I remember years ago many v8 heads would ask for a Z40 filter because it was a lot shorter than the Z24 listed for their holden v8, but it wasn't 'technically listed' for their car but they used in race/restricted space applications. I even think I had a z445 equivalent on my car when I first got it, but after cross referencing the genuine number went for the Z436 filter whicb is also listed for the V35 Skyline. If you compare the two filters on ryco's website there's barely 1mm difference in the dimensions hence why both work.

From what I have learnt by going to Bosch training nights many years ago, I recall Bosch saying that oxygen sensors measure the amount of air/fuel in the exhaust gas many times/millisecond. What happens is they become 'slow' in reading the mixture and this can cause fuel consumption issues as the ecu cannot lean or richen the mixture as needed as accurately as when they are new. Granted there are other factors which affect fuel comsumption which were also mentioned, plugs, air filters, fuel filters etc but I dont believe that o2 readings only matters when the car is idling or driven at a constant speed. To the contrary, if your driving at a constant speed the fuel/air mixture should be fairly constant and would need little adjustment. The o2 sensors read the values all the time and could be why your car feels less smooth and less responsive. Thats my thoughts.

I know what you mean about the way it drives. Before I got my PM I testdrove a local M35 and wasnt real happy in how it drove. The PM feel more secure on the road and turned in a lot better, and the nvh seemed better in the PM as well. Mine also has a sensor next to the interior mirror and it looks like it has holes in it underneath possibly for a speaker or mic. I think it might be part of the carwings which is useless but I couldnt be bothered taking that as well as the etc reader next to my left knee out. Not knowing what filters you have, I use z436 on my PM35. If you dont use ryco, you can cross reference what you do use on thier site http://www.rycofilters.com.au/catalogue/application/make/nissan/model/stagea/series/ and it will give you a ryco equivalent. Im using Mobil 1 5w/30 full synthetic.

Not a V35 but a Pm, but I like to put in my 2c on this topic. PM35 5 speed auto Stock except for K&N filter in the stock air box. Light outer city/suburban driving in adelaide. Mobil 1 5W/30 Full synthetic oil. Last 4 fills averaged between 9.9l/100km - 10.30l/100km. (Actual Figures). No A/C used on those trips except for 1 day when it hit 38. I think I could do better when I get cruise. Using BP Ultimate or Mobil PULP. Trip computer is more generous but not real world. I havent worked it out yet but think it works on a 'sliding scale' than by actual 'fuel usage'. IDK.

Fast shows it as being a whole unit and no spares serviced seperately. Its the case especially seeing its a led light.

Right here : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/419141-r33-gts-r-for-sale-adelaide-6200/

I'm interested....

I have one, check out my ad. And it still runs. Perfect for the missus!

Fast gives them different part numbers so in theory they are different, but in reality they may be the same or similar.

I have seen 32 led taillights, but I reckon they were a clear/white background, not black.Not sure where you would get, im maybe?

$140 for a bosch is good. They may have been a bosch unit genuine, just make sure it has the same plug on it as yours. Its amazing how much genuine stuff bosch made.

Well if your talking the current range of falcomms, then yes they have control everything like you said but its not they same as what you buy in the falcomm in the dealership. The only thing which are the same are some panels, lights and the ford or holden eblem.

I got this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/H-264-Car-Mobile-HD-Digital-TV-Receiver-Box-DVB-T-Tuner-/221069833709?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3378c9f5ed and though it works well, Im a bit disappointed the signal breaks up as soon as you start moving. Then again I have only watched tv once whilst parked in adelaide cbd and it worked fine then. Also it cant pick some HD channels sound like gem, go, and mate, even though it states it does pick HD channels. I was told the makers in china dont have the license to put the decoder into the tuner. On the up side it has usb which can play some wma's and most mp3's, and some divx's. It also comes with extra inputs & outputs in rca format and wired conections which come in handy for reverse camera, extra monitors, and even sub output. Plus they are pretty easy to install, with the mountain of info on here. Some people have discussed putting in a media player instead which would play a lot more formats but not sure how easy they would be to install.

The tuners are also dependant on the factory tuner working properly. If that fails, then whatever is before the factory tuner, be it the aussie tuner or reverse camera, will also not show up. It could also be a screen problem. I had an instance where nothing showed up on my screen, not even the trip computer. I pushed the button on top of the screen to retract it and pushed it again to lift it and it magically came back to life. I powered tuner off the factory tuner as per the instructions from here.

When I was mucking round with putting in my tv tuner in, I blew a fuse, which also controlled both the air con and stereo. It turned out both ran through the same fuse. It sometimes can be hard to see if a fuse is blown. Test each fuse with a test light on each end of the fuse while still plugged in.

Just putting it out there, not sure if it has been taken into account when organising the meet point/route but the 'Bay to Birdwood' is also on this sunday! Just saying. BTW I prob wont be able to make it; might have to help a friend pick up whitegoods so I might only make the meet point. Maybe next time.
