What was the modification to make the wheel work? And how do the media controls map? I might be interested in doing this myself.

Is it the Unavi? Keep in mind that's only designed for the S trim Leaf, which does not have those features anyway.

Nope, the wires do go straight to the PDM, however part of them (between the Chademo port and the block connector show on the video) is not there on non-QC cars, Dala just bypassed that part. The VCM wiring is a bit of a hack but functionally identical to a stock car with QC.

See pages 12-13 here: https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Leaf/2012/hco.pdf

It's made to mimic a normal automatic transmission car. It might be possible to remove with some advanced canbus trickery but it seems nobody has done it successfully yet.

The service manual for 2015 should be close enough, see here: https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Leaf%2F2015%2Fav.pdf

The ZE1 leafs don't have straight access through the OBD port to the CAN busses like the earlier ones did. OVMS people have been working on getting data, see here: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/323

Take a look at Dala’s inverter upgrade: https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade that can get you up to 160kW

A infotainnent system upgrade would geit you quite far, being an S trim it is actually possible. Also sound deadening will help for sure.

For a 2012, LeafSpy (no suffix) is the least I’d get, that gets you energy use metrics and a better range estimator. However, especially if you like to work on your own car, but also generally, LeafSpy Pro is absolutely fantastic. Reading and clearing of fault codes is super handy, and the...

That’s one of the fuses in the dashboard fuse holder, I’m almost sure. That might also cause be related to the charge door not opening?

I assume you have the S model, with rotary knobs for AC controls? If so then yes, it won’t have the energy usage info in the radio.

I had my trunk button fail this past winter, that was a pain in the ass. I have now fixed it, and had a pretty good temporary solution as well. I’m not going to tell you how to manually open the trunk, I’m lazy and it’s easy enough to google :) or just look at gwards post here For the...

How much will it cost? That is the key number one concern of buyers.

Sounds snazzy. Do you have a photo of it? And how much did it cost?

The app should be able to override the timer, the function is the same as the interior button. What with the app not updating, that’s just the app not being that good.

If you’re looking into 3d-printing, Paul Kennett’s version is pretty good: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-leaf-charge-port-lever-104902 remember to mirror the part if used in a left hand drive vehicle.

You would only need a Can-bridge to make a 40 kWh battery work in a 2013 or newer Leaf, the install is only six wires. https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Battery-Upgrade These rebuilt batteries could actually be massive news for used Leafs.

It’s a Leaf after all, there’s already quite a lot of battery in it. From what I recall reading the DC/DC converter should easily be able supply something like 2kW of power to the 12v system, a winch won’t be a problem as long as the car is turned on while you’re using it.

This can be caused by many different things, including tire wear and tie rod ends. Also, a (very) slight pull to the centre of the road is to be expected, but this can be exacerbated by suspension wear. Get your suspension checked, replace worn parts and get a realignment, making sure the...
