got in m35 tonight to drive it.Turned on ignition.

A W D LAMP COMES ON (STAYS ON)

A T LAMP LIGHTS UP "

A B S LAMP ALSO COMES ON WITH A SLIGHT HUM HEARD WITH IT.

GEAR DISPLAY SHOWS WHEN TURNING ON BUT GOES OUT WHEN PUTS CAR INTO GEAR.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROL.(WONT CHANGE TO HIGH BEAM, BUT TURNS OFF WITH IGNITION)

This is beyond my tired old brain.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

car starts/ runs?

hi Chris,yes/yes ran it around block slowly, seems sort of ok.hard to tell. It changed gear a couple of times,once a bit rough.brakes also seem just a bit rough.hard to explain.

best to ask someone near you to plug in a consult cable with laptop to find out what the errors are.

or disconnect battery for 24hrs, retry. hope its just a minor glitch.

Probably not best, I dont think that plug fits into the obd2 port. :)

Check all the fuse boxes, all 3, and like Tangles said, disconnect the battery, clean the terminals, and reconnect after a few hours. If you have no joy, Im guessing there is a fault with the BCM? Perhaps try reconnecting all the plugs on it, its under the fuse box in the kick panel.

Hey Scotty,remember its me you'r talking to

whats the BCM?

Agree. Take it to a Nissan Dealership and get them to put it on their Consult 3 (it will tell them in plain English where the issue is)

Just a quick thank you to those who gave me advice.

Because of no garage to work in for the last 3-4 days while we had this horrendous wet spell,i was unable

to look at the car until Yesterday.In fact i went out to the car turned on the ignition and lo and behold it had

cleared itself.I took the car to my mate at Lees mobile mechanical in Caloundra.

I didn't know it, but he has Snap On diagnostic set up and what do you know it had m35 Stagea and most imports on it.

After checking all fuses, connections etc etc, he found no fault codes on the car through his diagnostic scan tool.

He thinks that there was some moisture in the electrics which have had time to dry out.

So good news on 2 counts.

! the car is ok and 2. I have a connection for any one who needs to check out their cars diagnostics

without having to pay through the nose at Mr Nissan.

Once again cheers.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
