Sorry long thread title. Only owned this car a few weeks and still figuring out this nav unit.

Can someone confirm if the 370gt has the reverse beeping proximity thingy ? I know the g37 has it. Also I saw the auto folding rear view mirrors on some of the 370gt coupes I test drove. Is this an option ? Does anyone know if these are on the 370gt sedans aswell ? I can't seem to find either of these features on my sedan.

Another question, how do I look through the front camera and the camera on the driver side rear view mirror ? I can only see through the one on the passengers side by pressing the button on the top right of my ked pad cluster.

FYI its a 2008 sedan type S.

Hopefully those in the know can help out.

2008 sedan should be 350GT.

There is only one camera on the passenger side mirror, no front camera.

Folding mirrors are not auto, you need to press the button on the driver side door panel where the window switches are. Unless those that has the Tech pack auto folds....

You can look at your rear bumper....are there circle dots around the bumper? Should be 4-6 of them.....else you don't have any.

No the v36 sedan 350gt was 2006-2008 5speed. Sedan 370gt 2008 onwards in 7speed.

I don't see any dots on my rear bumper. Guess I don't have that option then.

Here is my front camera. Mounted dead centre in front of the grille. No idea how to access it, would be handy as I have to park super close to missus car on driveway sometimes.

370GT sedan was introduced in December 2008 as 2009 model year, so you are both correct....

Ah, the blind junction camera.... My 370gt sedan also has one. Turned on by a button next to my seat heaters..

My mirrors also fold on locking, controlled by a button under the steering column.

Car beeps in reverse, as all Japan domestic cars do, but no sensors. However there is the camera with the prediction lines that move with the steering...

This is good to hear. Although I don't know if I have heated seats or where the button would normally be for them lol. Can you tell me where the button is please ?

I will check under my steering column for any switches but I don't recall ever seeing anything under there.

This wont really help park up close as this is a split view intersection camera which helps when you are not able to clearly see both sides of traffic before entering an intersection. Wifes car has the same camera and yes its located just under gear shifter, it was a aftermarket dealer option not a factory one as factory ones are built into the front bumper bar. Mirrors will fold on locking the car if you got the extra security package which includes a small red light on the right side of the start/stop engine switch, a small button next to vdc/afs buttons which is to turn on/off mirror tilting while reversing and also small ultra sonic sensors somewhere on the corners of the front windows. If you have these features your mirrors should be folding in when u lock the car :)

No tilting on reversing for me, will need to look for that button... I loved that feature on my Stages.. Got the rest as described with my remote starter alarm security package.

Ok this whole time I was thinking there was a camera in each headlight looking out at 45deg angle. I even had someone look at the screen whilst I looked at the headlight and I was in full view lol. Man I feel like a lemon now. Its the little picture on the button that threw me off. It's exactly where nickcorr described but the button shows the field of view coming from the headlights. So naturally I just assumed there were cameras in there ! :rofl2:

This camera must have a serious fish eye lens !

Hi there, I have a 370GT SP sedan, April 09 model that has folding mirrors with a button on the door cluster, the seat heaters are on the cluster in the center console between the seats with a snow button in the middle which effectively starts the auto trans in 2nd to avoid spin. As far as cameras go it only has rear and side no front one as you mentioned. Hope this helps, and I have to say these cars are amazing tech for the price, love mine :)

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]

      Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
