Pat didn't have an analyzer or he needed a conversion or something. I had NRMA tow the car to Tuggeranong auto electrics who have done a few jobs on a Skyline R33 and a Pulsar for me previously. They managed to fix it pretty quickly, mainly using experience from the sound of it.

Thanks Chris, finally sorted. I had already moved the offending LED's and fixed the aircon. The problem turned out to be a fuse for the transmission control module which (as you probably know) is hidden in the fuse box behind the battery. I had read that there was one there but I still couldn't find it. I really didn't want to wait as this car doubles as my wife's work vehicle and had been off the road for too long already. Thanks again.

Thanks Chris. I never said there was anything wrong with the cruise control, just the LED was left sticking up near the right hand vent, and the IR LED for the steering control of the head unit poked out through the gear shift boot by about 30mm and therefore moving the wiring back and forth whenever the gear selector is moved. He has looked at the car once at the shop when the head unit stopped but only needed a reset, and has come out once to investigate the transmission problem. That was almost a week ago. My main point was that it is much cheaper to get the expert than pay for someone to buzz out all the wiring. Fraser.

rs73. Yes, I think some of it would have been better, like mounting the cruise LED and the steering wheel remote IR transmitter properly but I'm not sure about the rest. Chris, yes it may well come to that. I thought that it may have just been some error in the transmission module but I read that disconnecting the battery for 24 hours should clear any errors but that didn't work. I assume the transmission module connector is attached to the transmission itself. (this is 2005 5 speed auto). Thanks, Fraser.

Chris will probably find this amusing. After pissing him about asking for cruise, satnav and bluetooth quotes for my V35 S2, and crying about the price of about $4000, he suggested that I could get a local bloke in Canberra to do the job and save airfares. Well, I purchased a Kenwood DNX6140 from the states (DVD changed to region free and AM band sorted). I booked the car in for the work to be done not knowing that he had not received the parts from Chris. After 8 days (and $5500 total) I got the car back, obviously reassembled in a hurry, the aircon wasn't working and the airbag indicator had not been reset. The car was ok otherwise for half a day and then refused to start, probably something to do with the transmission control module as no gear position is indicated on the dash. After another 9 days I am still waiting for something to be done. THEREFORE, get your car done by Chris Rogers and don't be cheap. Its amazing how one can get as old as I am and still make big mistakes. I don't know when I will get my car going or who I might have to get to do it or how much more it might cost.

G'day all, It was I who asked N15MO & Chris about intelligent key units for series 2 V35 and I am still trying to find some. Even if they can only be programmed to lock & unlock and not activate the fuel cut off. As well as that I only got 1 key. I ordered a new one from the local Nissan dealer- cost was $171 for the blank. He was using a V35 parts list and gave me a couple of pages from it. After paying $50 to have the blank cut I found it didn't fit in the sleeve on the ignition. The top was too thick. The dealer suggested they had several ways of programming it but we obviously didn't try. Anyway I got a full refund of the $171. Any further info on new key or intelligent key units would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

G'day all, recently got my 12/04 S2 V35 but came without smart key keyfobs. It has taken me several weeks to track down what is needed. There are plenty of Infinity versions cheap on ebay but I am informed that they are a different frequency. Nissan quoted me about $250 each, but they also supplied a key for $177 plus $50 cutting only to find out it doesn't fit in the extended piece on the ignition. Still waiting to hear about a refund. I also tried the 1st step for programming a key fob but it didn't work. It may be that I didn't have a key fob in the car. Any advice on where I can get a couple of key fobs etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fraser Wallace

I am interested in the language conversion software and would prefer Lts\100km as thats the Australian standard.
