Hey!
I guess you are here to find out more about me... so here goes

I drive a G37 Sport Sedan (rear wheel drive, 6 speed manual) and have a background in electronics, auto mechanics, vehicle networks (CAN bus), C/C++ programming and micro controllers.

Most of my time is spent on automotive research (Nissan/Infiniti) and trying to help others.

Thanks for dropping by!

The OP is talking about valve cover gaskets, not the rear timing cover oil galley gaskets.

Well... I think this is VERY interesting!! In this picture you can see the air deflector bolted to the front sway bar on the new Z Nismo. ...

That is how much gas is in your tank... You have about 1/3 of a tank :)

Seems like you are enjoying your new scan tool :) You might want to watch this video by OBD4Everyone. It explains all of the standard OBD PIDs on a G37... which should be exactly the same as the Z,...

The pre-car "O2" sensors are actually Air/Fuel Ratio sensors (aka wide band) and have a different output voltage that ranges from 0 to just over 4 volts. The post-cat O2 sensors are the...

Interesting problem... From the FSM under P0500: The vehicle speed signal is sent to the combination meter from the “ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)” via the CAN communication line....

The bluetooth module on the EcuTek device is different than the bluetooth modules used on most OBD modules, the TI CC2540 "system on chip" (SOC). EcuTek module supports bluetooth 4.1 and...

I am in the process of adding a oil filter sandwich plate to monitor the oil pressure and temp. In looking at the flow of oil, the oil pressure sensor in the sandwich will measure the oil pressure...

Excellent video! Short and to the point.

Excellent add! Note: This older style and larger oil pressure sensor uses a flexible tube/bellows to push/pull a wiper/contact across a wire wound resistor. This results in a resistance of 3-160...

There is a third option: Remove the low oil pressure switch (it turns on the light at < 5 psi!!) and install the gauge. As I see it, since you have a pressure gauge, you can detect low oil...
