what's a valet boot locking switch?

weird thing my 32 does is the climate control screen comes on and off randomly (mostly off now)...

valet boot locking switch is on the inside of the boot lock, when its on you cant pop the boot from the cabin. but with that your spose to have seperate keys for the boot and ignition but mine are the same so whats the point there? :)

also, my screen goes loco sometimes too.. instead of going off, every LCD part goes ON, sometimes only parts go on. It's a loose connection in there but I managed to score another climate control box for 5$ :)

1. Every time I switch the ignition off the engine keeps on running for anywhere between 30sec & 2minutes. "After a few months of driving took it for a service & they fixed it...(nice guys didn't even charge me) they said it was something called a turbo timer & just ripped it out :)

2. Occassionally after a few drinks, I use to jump into the car & notice the dash & steering wheel are gone & moved over to the (as we know it) passenger side. I now realised that I was in the 56 thunderbird left hand drive :)

3. Dunno bout you guys, but does your fuel cap swap sides. Sometimes I go to fill up & could have sworn black & blue the cap was on my drivers side :confused:

I believe the headunit turning off during gear changes is probably a ground issue (as said).

On my car there is a ground wire connected to a bolt at the top of the gearbox near the shifter. If this has at some stage wrapped around the gearstick underneath the gear-boot it may cause problems if that ground was used for something.

Let me see what the weird thing about my car.

My driver's side electric window switch is really sensitive. One small touch and it will wine down, even going over bumpy road sometime.

My climate control off button is jammed for some reason and now I can't switch off my climate control.

And now my antenna is stuff too. It will go up but wouldn't retract automatically, have to get out and shove it back down.

i have a funny button in my ash tray and when i push it, the car goes much faster :)

but the weird thing with my car, is the dimmer switch for the dash, that was put in for compliance is in the most stupid position its so easy to bump...

well my car doesnt have that problem, in fact, it doesnt have a dimmer switch at all lol

:)

My climate control makes a knocking sound when i turn the car on does about 8 or so times also does it when the aircon changes fan speed.

My seat belt makes a clicking noise which I also now can rarely hear after exhuast install. :bonk:

Yeah I noticed when I pulled the climate controll out in my 34 that when I put it back and switch the car on for the first time after that it makes a horrible knocking too. I think it's some type of system reset thing, maybe a system check. I'm an electronic engineer and it puzzeled me :wassup:

hmm where to start!!!

I get a click click noise when i start moving, the same noise but much worse at high rpm/high boost, sounds like a driveline noise.

where do i start with wiring! theres heaps of it! sunroof closes to about 3" opening then you have to take your hand off and press switch again.

aircon doesn't work cos some gimp took it out!

main concern is my battery can go flat very quickly, its only a piss weak lil thing, but like when i was installing a cd player and testing stuff out it went flat.

i left it for 2 weeks and it wouldn't start, charged it started it, moved it around. i stuck my head in and could tell just by looking that it was flat (fuel guage not reading, interior light not on) my skyline has sat there since july and i start that every so often and she first first time

Has two annoying things as well.

One is a stupid noise it makes under no or low engine load ever since I had the E boost fitted. (really annoys the wife)

Listen to it here

http://www.cwp.id.au/skylinenoise.mpg (1.47mb)

The other tink is it seems to loose power for a sec at around 5000rpm when the boost is on or over about .7 bar (I suspect that this wont be an issue when the new computer is fitted)

how did u get compliance widout dimmer switch...
Probably the same way mine did... I have searched all over and I would bet my leftie that my car hasn't got one fitted.

The only wierd thing about my 'line is that it makes most falcodore drivers think that they are Peter Brock or Dick Johnson.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
