NO!!

they are good for popping airbags. think there are 8 or so on these so I would only use a meter in them. if it is a LED one then that is a different story. still prefer a meter.

jon,

I'm bored so I'm tearing yours to bits.

Dammit! I'll leave it to you then. I can't wait to hear the result....

jon,

Cool...hope you find more cool stuff! The G35 guys keep on talking about their remotes ability to wind down all four windows by just pressing the unlock button 3 times and holding it...I tried but no dice...

partial PDF from the 05/06 service manual.

that is relevant to what we are talking about.

its missing a relay so the whole concept of adding a switch is a myth. there is more to it that that. I would say: fuses,relays, switches,seats.

I'll know more over the next day or so.

jon,

you may want to stay away for a few days whilst I find this missing relay :)

Ok my 04 coupe is a 70th and has the seat warmers,

you can push the switches up or down, what is the difference ?

up is for high heat, down is for low

as in the thicker and longer bar for up, and thinner and shorter bar down low

can you do us a favour and open you console and take a pic of where the wires go form the switches?

its as simple as

- pull down the plastic around the bottom of the shifter

- pop out the pin

- lift off the gearknob

- lift up the armrest

- then lift the console from where the switches are

this takes about 2-3mins and requires no screwdriver or anything

i would just like to see on a coupe where the wires go after they coem out of the switches

thanks mate!

Warren

warren,

easier way.

remove covers on seat bolts. remove 4x14mm bolts position seat so it lays back out of the way:(DO NOT DISCONNECT IT!)

look at 4 pin white plug in middle of seat. it has 2 wires: a heavy red and black in it for the seat power ONLY. IF it has 4 wires going THROUGH the plug into the seat itself then you have heated seats.

based on the 05/06 sedan passenger seat you will have a LT GRN/BLK & GRY/BLU in that plug from teh car side - those will match with the ones in the centre console

the car (in the case of the 05/06 sedan I have here) is set up for them its a case of swapping seats, adding switches and finding the relay and fuse for it.

jon,

yours is wired for it but thats it.

just to update this..

i have found a company that sells carbon fibre heating elements

http://www.heatedseatkits.com/index.html

costs $180 for the pair for front seats

they are OEM items in many cars in the USA..

and i've also recieved my heated seat switches from the G35 :)

so once my exams are over, my plan is to find out if i have the heating elements or not, and if i don't i'm going to look at getting a set of heating elements and wiring them up using the stock switches to control it

it should suit those cold summer mornings just fine!

haven't checked as yet..

i'm studying for exams which are on friday which means i can procrastinate all day on the computer and be guilt free (as my notes are open in an adjacent window), but if i leave the vicinity of my computer/books (ie to go to the car) i get massive guilt about not studying..

i know i'm weird

i will check for the wiring before i think about getting any elements though

Just noticed my car has rectangular marks where the heated seats buttons should be. Seems to be a lump there on both sides of the console. Does anyone else have this? Looks kinda dodgey.

yes I have these too.

Unless the vehicle is equiped with heated seats there will be covers in place of the switches. So 99% of 35's will have these covers.

on some of them the covers are knockouts. in the case of warrens car they are visible but not punched.

warren,

re: question - yes.

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
