Can anyone explain how the fuel door works on the 350 GT (2003 model). Sometimes mine (rarely) flicks open when the remote is used and other times it remains locked and I have to get to the lock throught the boot to release it.

Also has anyone had troubles with the driver's power window and central locking?

Body Control Module- it operates 90% of the car - if something is out of kilter then things stop working. inputs are resistive on these so if the input (IE switch ) stuffs up - no worky.

Can you let me know more about the BCM - how to find out if it is faulty, do you replace it or can it be fixed or reprogrammed, is it a common fault, where is it? Thanks

Hey guys,

This is going to sound REALLY odd. But I had exactly the same thing, I'd lock my doors and my fuel cap door would pop out. My fix: I switched on the mirrors tucking in when the car is locked. It no longer pops.

Freaky, eh?

My fuel door must be faulty as it will not lock when the car is locked.

There's a little solenoid which drives a plastic lock that engages with a catch in the fuel door to lock it. Locks when the rest of the car is locked. Look just inside the door and on the left you'll see the mechanism.

Apparently it is quite common for the solenoid to die - the one in mine was dead. From what I've heard fairly easy to replace if you can source a replacement solenoid.

Those who were having trouble with the door popping out - could be due the catch that engages with the lock on the fuel door being mis-aligned. Check if the catch on the door is bent or twisted in any way.

Chris - the winding up of windows when the car is locked - are you saying this can be programmed by the dealer on any V35? Or is it dependent on a sensor being there as well?

depends - have seen dealer fitted units that do it. unsure if it can be done via consult3. I'm working on this one anyway as I want to do a snazzy alarm on one and close everything with a push of a button.

any one got fast for a V36 yet?

Mine can...... bummer....

As I said in my post - busted solenoid actuator...

This is what you need, first part on the list since it looks like you have a Coupe (I think...):

Riverside Infiniti was one of the better places to source V35 parts though I gather the guy who was really helpful has left so maybe find another dealership. They all seem to use the same parts catalog system so shouldn't be too hard to locate this part again. In any case make sure you check that it is the correct part before ordering!

Or just source it thru Nissan...

well, kptechnologies (http://www.kptechnologies.com) make a unit that has been made specifically for the G35 to do just this

go to their website, go to products, then select "wondow roll-up"

they sell it for USD$50

not sure if it can be integrated into our car due to wiring differences between G35 and V35 but i'll throw it out there for those interested..

KP Technologies also do a unit which dips the side mirror(s) when you put it into reverse - tempted to get that and the window roll up unit... Though I should just build one myself, wouldn't be hard to do with a small micro...

my mirrors dip already when i put it into reverse, i think its combined in the reversing pack with the camera :P

although interstingly, when chris had my camera disconnected for a while, the mirror dipping still worked.. maybe there is a separate control module or its already got the provision for it as standard on the V35?

this was never an option for the G35, thus why KPtechnologies has made that module for them..

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By r32-25t · Posted

      Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
