V36 350Gt - Snow Button

I picked up my new 2006 V36 350GT SP (Bose system with Navi) on Tuesday and I cant say anything wrong with it.

I wish I knew Japanese so I understood what some of the things mean.

I understand that I don't have a financially reasonable ($5,000) chance of changing the software to english and I understood that from reading Chris Rogers posts and I really want to thank you Chris for all your information that you have put on here. I wish my iPhone 5 would be able to stream the music via bluetooth however just happy enough with it being able to answer and make calls using the bluetooth of the system.

What I would like to know is 2 things:

1) What is the Snow Button? I cant find any information on it? (my kids think its a button that will produce snow out the back whilst driving, I wish) (oh and they are still looking out the window for my new CarWings!)

2) Indicator sound is there a way to increase this as its really soft and i have to look and make sure it's on? (im sure if I increase the volume of this I will say "Too Loud") just thought in amongst the warren of settings that I do not understand there is one that says indicator volume. If not no stress.

If anyone could enlighten me on the Snow button that would be great!

I cant stop seeing Skylines now, I keep on passing them or they pass me. I didn't realise how many there were in Melbourne!

Snow mode is just a button that activates some different values in the ECU map.

This can be used for low traction situations, to help the car proceed safely. It can be any of the following- reduce throttle sensitivity/response, gearbox locked into starting in a higher gear (2nd), and/or constant torque split in regards to AWD cars.

It is largely useless unless you are stuck in mud/sand or at the snow.

This has been covered several times now by new owners. The Fourm has a search function that is useful for this kind of stuff.

      Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
