Hey guys, long time reader, dont post much as im a noob when it comes to the technical side of cars, in the last year i purchased a 2001 V35 sedan - I get it regularly serviced (has done about 180,000 KMS) by my local mechanic but at the moment there are quite a few issues and he doesn't know anything about them to fix them

If anyone could help that would be great, i am sorry if this is a repost!

1. Air Bag light on my dash is flashing, when i open the tv up it has an error written in Japanese *see below*

2. If i take off from traffic lights sometimes my car lags abit to click over to the next gear and then it suddenly clicks into the next gear and a bunch of black smoke comes from the exhaust,

3. Passenger window switch wont put window down however if i push it from my drivers side, it works fine

If anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated also if anyone could recommend a mechanic in the south east suburbs of Melbourne that would be great as i need to find someone who knows about these cars locally to help me

Thanks alot in advance

Jay

I can read the airbag code if you want Jay, or you will have to find a friendly Nissan dealership willing to put you car on their Consult 3 scanner to see what the problem is.

Have you flushed the transmission with new fluid, or changed it at all? The filter in the sump could be blocked. A Transgo kit is a good option to extend the life of your box, and speed up shifting.

Sounds like the window switch needs replacing, what color is it?

Thanks for the reply Scotty,

If you read it, that would be great just so i have some sort of an idea as to what it is

I'll be honest i havnt replaced any fluid in the transmission, my mechanic is a trans specialist so i assumed he would tell me this stuff, he said ages ago may need a service but never really followed up on it since, all he said last service was brakes need to be done.

i thought it might be the switch, its the beige colour.

Thanks again mate

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • 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.
