Does anyone in Brisbane have software to analyse my car? Something like data scan? Data scan is not configured for the V36 yet. I think I have a problem with one of the following but cannot be sure without spending thousands randomly replacing parts.

On light throttle (high load) there is a very subtle stumble, the engine feels smooth but the power delivery is on off on off. Give it WOT and it's fine. Originally I suspected the fuel 95ron, then the gearbox, then spark plugs which I replace. It also has a grounding kit. I have been using 98 octane and the problem has been there almost as long as I can remember. 2 years owned. People have suggested crank angle sensor, my mechanic has suggested a lazy O2 sensor. Does anyone have something they can definitive look at and prove something is malfunctioning? When I had my 300zx it was possible to see if you had a lazy O2 by looking at the duty cycle in data scan. I'm looking for something similar as I don't fancy replacing 4 O2 sensors on the off chance one of them is faulty?

P.S. Nissan won't look at it because it is an import and I don't trust them anyway.

The general consensus on the 350z forum is the VTC system being too sensitive to motor oil viscosity. Some said to open up the VTC and clean it up, some said they tried a few different motor oil and problem was mostly gone. Or as Andrew said above, that thread had a firmware update.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
