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.

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.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
