Hey guys.

So my car is not running at the moment. I was driving down to mall and all of a sudden indicators stopped working and when I got off the car , it wont lock the car (with the remote) and tried starting the car and that didnt happen as well(it just cranks up and dies). Called RACQ guy and he told me the immobiliser is playing up, he towed my car to my place and now its just sitting there and staring at me. I did change the battrey in the remote and that didnt help as well. So I've no clue where to go first, nissan dealer or auto electricians or Locksmiths. Wondering if any of you guys can help?

Cheers

Sam

Can you swap the battery in the car? Check the terminals for corrosion or cracking, and check the main fuse also. Has it been raining there lately?

Surely the RACQ guy would have checked these things though... instead of dumping your car in your drive. :/

If the battery checks out fine, you may have a faulty crank sensor, probably worth jacking the car up and checking the plug and wires going to it, just in case they are damaged.

its such a surprise that my cars all fine now, sat there for two nights and now its all good like before, went to the autoelctrician to have a chat about it and he told me he cant help me until he sees any issues on my car.. weird..

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
