Hi guys,

Got a few questions to ask and hopefully anyone of you can give me an answer/solution...

1. Last Tuesday night I was driving in Melbourne's unusual fog, got my cruise control on and turned on the front windshield heater...suddenly the cruise control just turns off and didn't register anything...the radar symbol is still on but not showing any cruising speed and I noticed that the cruise control is just off...this happens until I turned the car off then turned it on again, tried the cruise control and it's working as normal, tried turning on the windshield heater and it's gone off again until i restart the car...any ideas why? (sorry if too long, can't think of writing the short version without really confusing anyone)

2. I had the O2 sensor busted and am still waiting for the sensor to be ordered & delivered to the workshop that I frequent. The boss had a look underneath my car and said that it looks like my turbo is starting to leak. Called the previous owner to ask and he said he didn't have any issues and the turbo was just fitted not too long ago...any idea on why?

3. I will need to do servicing in the next month or two...now I need some help on part numbers for oil filter, type of oil that you guys recommend (what viscosity too) and part numbers or equivalent parts for the front and rear disk brakes and pads (fronts are the same with which car and same with the rears)...

4. My car came with the Bose sound system...just noticed that the FM range just went up to 90MHz...is that normal because the car is from Japan?

5. Is it possible to burn an Australian navigation map/system into a DVD and pop it into the dvd sat nav drive? does it work?

Sorry for all the noob questions...still learning a lot on my car...

Cheers,

-syd-

Syd, first thing I recommend... Is SEARCH!!

Question 3 still has an active thread from within the last week. Opinions vary, check the thread "m35 oil and filter"

4. Yes it is normal. Dunno if they fitted band expander but my understanding is even so it'll show 90MHz.

5. No. No way of getting sat nav working, but you can get it translated. Look at www.xanavi.com.au to find your local person.

This could be a "feature" in that some engineer thought it could be too dangerous to run cruise control in conditions that warranted you having the windshield heater turned on, ie. icy conditions.

Sounds like you have the cold pack edition.

2. Might want to have a look under the bonnet and see if the oil leak is coming from the passenger rocker cover (it will drip down onto the turbo). This is quite common.

3. http://m35stagea.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63 and yes as Ryan said, check the Oil Filter thread :)

5. No chance for sat nav. It has been covered here so have a search for the thread

Have you changed the oil since purchase? If not, I'd do that ASAP and use a GOOD quality oil (do a search it has been covered ;)).

Depends on the leak, but mine has had a very small leak for years now with no troubles.

Solution is generally to replace the rocker cover seal.

(airbox out, rubber bend and AFM off, plenum off, unscrew rocker cover bolts, replace rubber seal, re-install rocker cover etc) - fiddly job though due to piping at the rear of the engine)

Iain, looks like you need to fix the site again.

thanks for the advice, will do that in the very near future as I currently have other issues that's more urgent than the car...

I checked the site again and tried to log in, apparently my username is still not active and I didn't get any email asking me to activate my login...

Send Iain (zei20l on here) a PM, I'm sure he can fix up your login.

any help would be appreciated as i plan to get this sorted ASAP...

need more help urgently guys, any fast response is greatly appreciated :)

my car currently has a busted O2 sensor so its fuel efficiency is about the same as an F1 car (well not exactly but u guys know what i mean)...is the O2 sensor for vq25det the same as any other vq engine? and how do i know which O2 sensor (primary or secondary) that would need replacing?

How bad is your fuel efficiency? My city driving gets me north of 16L/100km; never above 21 though; somewhere in that band isnt necessarily pointing to your O2 sensor.

There is only 1 O2 sensor in our cars, its in the exhaust dump just behind the turbo. The part number is 22690−AL600

thanks dunc...maybe i'm just still used to hondas which used different O2 sensors (i remember euro had 2)...

i think my car's fuel efficiency is pretty bad, as in maybe about 350-400kms with about 3/4 tank (i use cruise control mainly for driving), my driving is 50% 80kph, 35% 70kph, 10% 60kph & 5% 100kph roads...

Drive it till the light comes on, and fill up completely - that way you can at least get a decent read on what your L/100km is and make a decision from there.

well the ECL is on all times, tried resetting like 3-5 times, every 2nd drive after that the light comes on...checked all the codes, all pointing to O2 sensor...so have to replace it anyways :(

i'll find out the fuel efficiency soon before and after putting on the new O2 sensor

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
