After 265kms the CEL has gone off. I guess the AFM wasn't plugged in before the car was started. Thank you for all the help and advise guys Now all I have to do is figure out why the thermo fan is now not working.

Cheers. Well I'm up to 170kms at the moment so it looks like that may not be the problem. I've had the car checked and everything is plugged in BUT the electric fan at the front of the car is not working even though the air-con is I presume this would set the CEL off too? It could be just weird timing and perhaps a blown fuse somewhere?

Just a quick question:If the car was restarted before the AFM was plugged back in, how long does it generally take for the CEL to reset?

I'll check this out. Cheers

Thanks heaps for this info mate. The air-con isn't performing as well as it did before the radiator was replaced so I'd dare say the bleed wasn't opened up. Mind you it was also 40c The stereo presets are gone but the important part was saved. All the crossover values, time alignment and eq settings for my audio system are all still there. I'm running everything active, it took me months to get the tune right! I'll attempt the reset tomorrow but I seem to have trouble with the timing of the whole procedure.

Cheers mate. I tried to reset the ecu already by disconnecting the battery, I can't get the manual codes to work for me, I've tried numerous times... It is good to know that the CEL will disappear after a while provided there are actually no current faults. I'll check with him to see if he started before it was re-connected.

Thanks mate. Just had a quick look and everything looks o.k....I think, but I'm not very tech savvy so I may be overlooking something. I spoke to the mechanic on the phone and he said all he unplugged was AFM connection. If I don't have any luck I'll take it back into the mechanic on Friday but I'd love to solve this mystery before then to save the hassle if possible.

I had the radiator replaced in my my M35 yesterday. I now have the check engine light on. Any ideas as to what it could be? I've tried to manually get the fault code but no matter how many times I try it won't work for me. ( Doors closed too) I've also disconnected and reconnected the AFM plug and unplugged my battery for an hour to reset the ECU. If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated. Cheers.

Just a quick thread bump. I've just had my top tank go on my radiator. Are there any direct swaps readily available? I need to get my car fixed fairly quickly so I was hoping to buy local here in W.A. If not, is this a straight swap? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RADIATOR-NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-AUTO-MANUAL-2001-2007-KOYO-BRAND-NEW-/220872242160?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336d02f3f0#ht_1906wt_1163

Cheers for that. GSL contacted

Ok. I need new front rotors and pads. Reading through this thread it sounds as though the RDA rotors are pretty good. I'm looking at these of ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/STAGEA-IMPORT-M-35-3-5-L-01-05-Front-Gold-Disc-Rotors-/190534795621?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5cc24165 Anybody had experience with them? What pads to go with them? Otherwise I found these but I'm unsure about them: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-STAGEA-import-M35-Disc-Brake-Rotor-Pad-Pack-/280732893735?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415cfc0227 Cheers

Cheers mate

I'm looking at getting my exhaust done next week. Is it advisable to get the suction pipe done at the same time or should I wait until I have the Fcon IS installed? As you can tell I know nothing about mechanics.

I think I'll take this option....just to make sure I don't F anything up. Fcon IS shouldn't be too hard though, unless I need a particular serial# Is he the best option for the exhaust too?

Thanks for finding this for me. I've never used this site before. I presume if I loose out on the bid my account is re-credited or am I obliged to spend the deposited $$ there?
