I got my V35 back in November 2020, I am the 3rd Australian owner to my knowledge. I have spent the past year and a bit trying to fix all the things the previous owners have broken, much to no avail. It had 1 little gremlin I could never fix, The speedometer would occasionally default to 35 km/h and then go to 55 km/h when I started moving. It would normally only do it for 22 to 40 ish minutes, Its been doing it for now 5 straight days. Does anyone know what could possibly be the reason, I've tried taking the dash out, re-soldering the terminals, doing an ECU reset, everything but it still keeps happening. Its a 2003 5AT V35 coupe 350GT. (Note the trip meter is still getting correct knowledge of distance, it only goes up when moving and the slip light is not on) I currently have the dash out and trying everything I can, I know the most logical answer is buying a new dash but I would rather not have to. 

I pulled apart a cluster to work out how the fuel level, indicators and other warning lights work. It seems to use can-bus to communicate alot of the information to the dash, the onboard IC's then control a bunch of things. From memory speed is one (along with tach, temp, CEL, SLIP, and more). IMHO The most likely cause is probably a fault in the cluster. 

I used a multimetre to do some poking around in there and there is a stray 0.6 volts when the key is turned to the 'On' position and increases to 0.8 volts before dropping volts back to 0.4 volts. Thank you for your time

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
