Hi guys

This morning i was driving around in heavy rain for a while when i noticed them three lights turn on in my dash :P

And it stayed on. Driving felt normal tho. I then parked and tried restarting the car. That didn't fix it.

So i looked around on the net to find a solution. Turns out some people over at the states have the same problem with G35, especially the 03 model.

I gathered up some suggestions :

- Check brake fluid level ( Mine was barely under the MAX level)

- Check Tyre Pressure ( All good )

- Check ABS Fuse ( Haven't checked yet)

- Bring the car in for a scan.

I thought i'd do the first three myself. Went to a mall , got some fuses and brake fluid. When i started the car everything went back to normal. All lights were off. :)

Drove around for at least 50 km with no problem. I got a service date next week. Hope it's nothing major ( fingers crossed )

I don't get it..Could it be the wet weather causing this? Somehow the sensors are soaked or something.... i dunno..Anyone else experienced this?

This happend to my car when it came off the dyno after 3 runs

I was shit scared something had gone wrong but after about 1km of driving al the lights went off and everything has been normal since then

The guy who ran the car on the dyno was saying that some of the newer cars with VDC and traction controll get confused after a dyno run since the rear wheels have been spinning but the fronts are not

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
