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

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
