Not a bad result..

Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

Generally means one bulb is out, or technically, there is not enough resistance in the system.

Checked all the bulb, and/or installed LED lights anywhere?

Thats about it from my experience.

Ok so the full story is that it was dying a slow death. I'd indicate and three click in I'd get two fast ones, then three good ones again. I figured that was the sign for "replace the globe", since it was on the rear left that wasn't working. So I did, but it didn't change anything, and now a few days later, it just clicks fast all the time and I have no indicators on the left hand side.

Sorry, read this and I didn't post.

Have you got the indicators in your mirrors?

I had similar behaviour from mine when I picked it up from the alarm installer, ended up they'd knocked the wiring for the mirrors, and because they're scotch locked into the main harness the scotch lock had cut through the wiring.

Wiring is down in the drivers footwell, behind the panel forward of the door.

Not sure if that's what it is, but worth checking. It was flashing fast all the time and I had no indicators in the left hand side, but the LEDs in the mirrors did.

I'm not finding much. >_<

Mine doesn't have the mirror indicators so I may be barking up the wrong tree.

Actually, thinking in the same mindset of Ryan's situation (cable slowly being "pulled" or broken, which makes sense in my situation), is there a cable from the ECU that would stop the indicators working for just one side of the car? I did do the wire snip mod on the same day as the indicators started becoming intermittent.

Ah ha!

Found this document (not sure if it's really that relevant), but it at least pointed me in the right direction..

Went searching and found that there's a pink and.. yellow? cable down there that had some electrical tape around it. Seemed a bit suss, so I took the tape off and sure enough the solder had come undone. I suspect that when my alarm was installed the installer cut this wire by accident and soldered it up but while I've been under there it's come loose. Anyway it's all fixed up and working now so I'm stoked! :thumbsup:

Hmmm turns out I didn't fix the problem.

If the BCM was stuffed, would it permanently not work? Or be intermittent? Intermittent seems like a cable contact issue don't you think?

Are the BCM's easy to swap in and out? Is it just a matter of unplugging it, putting the new one in and plugging that in? If I can borrow another one just to test it would certainly make troubleshooting a lot easier.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
