Hello,

Taking the v35 to a mechanic next week, but would like to know if anyone has had a similar problem and would like to know how much im looking at to fix.

Out of know where the VDC, SLIP and Immobilizer light all came on, power is reduced, (seems like it is in limp mode, revs will not go over 3an a half) and it is very irritating.

I have tried disconnecting the battery, checked brake pads and all fluids, was not doing any irrational driving so i cannot understand why its happening.

After the car is turned off for at least 20 mins, and switched back on the only light that is always on is the immobilizer which is stock, then with out fail they all go back within about 10 mins, and no power again. The car will then hesitate to start whilst those lights are on.

Anyone at all had something similar happen?

Appreciate the replies. :unsure:

was driving home yesterday and the oil pressure light came on at idle and car stalled.. maybe that could be why its going into limp mode/slip light coming on. Major service was only done in november with the oil and filter changes, so i hope its not the oil pump and just a sensor, not hearing any unusual sounds either.

yeh oil level is fine, im in canberra, just really wanna make sure it will be ok to drive to the mechanic on wednesday, the light only came on once like a said they car stalled, i started it back up and made it home without it coming on again which is a 30 min drive, 40 mins to mechanic though

Happened to my 350 coupe once before I bought it (mate's car). Sounds like exactly the same problem you encountered i.e. VDC/SLIP on, car in limp mode... Changed a cam sensor and things are all good but that's just for me. Take it to a good mechanic and put on Consult III definitely.

Yep.. mine did exactly the same thing, but was caused by a bad connection on my after-market cruise control, which threw a 'accelerator pedal sensor' fault. So certainly needs codes read to know the cause.

no worries thanks for the input guys, yeh hope thats all it is, the mechanic specializes in skylines so i hope he will do. Excuse my ignorance but what is a Consult 3?

The only light that remains on the whole time is the immobilizer.. so did it stall and oil pressure light come on for any of you when SLIP light was on?

Consult is Nissan's diagnostic system, consult3 is the most recent revision, this is what Nissan plugs into your car to diagnose issues.

There are several consult3 clones you can buy to do the same job.

Even some basic diag tools can do simple tasks like read error codes. I used Nissan datascan to check the code when I had these symptoms.

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
