Guys - Major break through. Went back to my car dealer as Nissan was hesitant in diagnosing the car. They have very little knowledge about cars in my opinion. If the service manual doesn't state it, t

Getting in contact with techline is almost impossible through any GTR dealer in WA. FFS Nissan

For those NZ folks... I'm going to attempt the firmware update in Auckland through a GTR accredited Nissan dealer. I've been living with the low rpm lurch for a while now and isn't too big a deal, yet. Will be interesting to see how it goes - there's a tonne of these around town now so surely i'm not the first to approach them with this.

Im guessing you never got anywhere with it? I ended up selling my V36 because the lurch pissed me off. Its a shame, they are such awesome cars.

Hey @awsam,

Trust your supper problem is long gone now. However, how much reduction in power is experienced ? Any detail you can share will be great.

Thanks mate.

 

 

How did your firmware update go @charlie200?

Cheers

Cars been a dream since.
Slight delay in the milliseconds off the line and the point at which it changes gears is slightly different from memory.

It's almost been 2 weeks after having the update applied. The car runs 90% better, which for anyone who has the same problem is incredible!

The grunt is still mostly there, and the acceleration delay feels 50% reduced. There is no more bucking, hiccups or stuttering. A couple of times i've felt maybe 3 small bucks (like 5% of previous strength) at low gear, but only ever once while driving.

There is no more hesitation from a stopped start at all.

The anti slip control seems to be less sensitive now also.

I highly suggest anyone experiencing my issues with a 2008 V36 sedan have the update applied, even if it's just so you can sell it for more. Main North Nissan charged me $190. If you're in Adelaide, ask for Josh.

Andrew Taylor from Infiniti Melbourne was the man who made it all happen, top guy, went above and beyond for no reward other than the gratitude.

I'm so happy it's fixed, so incredibly happy. Now we can actually sell it for what it's worth :P

ive asked Infiniti Sydney and they said they can't do it and I've asked a couple of other GTR dealerships and they also can't do it.

Don't know what else I could tell you that might help.
Im in adelaide, bugged Infiniti Melb for a while. They facilitated getting the update from japan. Which was meant to be sent to Adelaide. Nissan refused, instead held the update and sent it to TECH LINE. GTR dealership in Adelaide connected a laptop to my car. A person from TECH LINE in sydney did the update/config remotely.
Andrew Taylor from Infiniti Melbourne was the legend or helped me out in 2014.

If I send you a cable, would you be open to taking a dump of the ECU and send it back to me? You'll need a laptop with Windows on it.

So I managed to get some info on throttle body programming which can potentially resolve the issue. Is that what you had done awsam?

Tried contacting josh Kolinac from main north Nissan. He replied and said he was going to have a look as the update is stored on an older consult which is now with their IT department. But now he hasn't replied in almost 2 weeks...

stuttering issue is getting worse

You haven't had any issues since the update right? He kinda scared me a little when he said they don't take any responsiblity if the patch damages the car. How could it possibly damage the car?

Still have the car, haven't had a single problem since. 

They told me the same thing. At that point my V36 was near undrivable, and i'd never be able to sell it so...

They told me they hooked it to a laptop, and someone from Tech Line configured it remotely from Sydney. Beyond that I have no other info for ya.
10/10 would do again.

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
