Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I still had an annoying rattle coming from the passenger door. Since I knew I had to open the interior again, I bought some STP soundproof mats. Since an EV doesn't emit any noise, creaks/drone/rattles are so much more annoying. I found the source of the creak, it was the sealing lip on the windows ...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

The final pieces of the stereo puzzle arrived! The fascia-plate and the reverse camera connector. Delivery time was 6months most likely due to the ongoing pandemic, but I wasn't in a rush with this :) https://i.imgur.com/CBOUR4m.jpg This is what the stereo looks like with the proper fascia plate sur...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I tweaked my energy subscription slightly. I used to have a wind-power subscription, which cost 4,90 cent/kWh (+6cent transfer fee). That totals up to 10.9c/kWh. With this subscription, it would cost 4.24€ to fill up the car from 0-100% (40kWh). I scoped the consumption on the new place, it was nice...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Here's a quick video showing where I mount the CAN-bridges when I do battery upgrades on the Nissan Leaf, and also this video contains a quick guide on how to update the software running on these CAN-bridges. The info here is really useful if you are planning to install a DIY CAN-bridge / MITM devic...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I recently purchased a row house, that came with a garage and a small storage unit. I started to clean up and paint the garage, along with getting the electrical system up to spec for EV charging. I'm gathering some footage on this, and will make a video on the renovation. But here's a quick befo...

I did a quick summary on my car as an intro to my channel, it's a bit rough but I'm slowly getting the hand of video editing :D

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So here's a fun sideproject! With the help of some friends, we created a working prototype 'nag-deleter' for my friends LEAF, a 2014 24kWH AZE0 https://i.imgur.com/l54XqIk.png Those of you that have a higher spec LEAF knows how annoying it is to press OK every time you want to use the radio/nav syst...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

On another note, I launched a Patreon site last week. I'll be ramping up video productions! Already got the first tech-deep-dive video up on the site. The video will be released to the public in a few weeks, but if you feel like supporting my reverse engineering attempts I wont stop you :) https://w...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

That is definitely not bad concerning the lifeline estimate of an modern day ICE. I'm just curious at what stage did the capacity loss become a nuisance. It must degrade slowly and not at once, so you just look at the estimate go down or does it deplete itself to an low number that you just have to...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I thought this was very interesting. I was tasked with upgrading the battery on a 30kWh Leaf that had 255k km on the clock. That is a lot of km in a very short time. Check out the damage on this Leafspy screenshot https://i.imgur.com/FPB9AX8.jpg So as you can see, there is a dip in the graph. Thi...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Is that battery strap and the bolt aluminum? No, that would create some galvanic reaction for sure. That picture was just for illustrative purposes. I think the strap is stamped steel, that has been coated with something. The fastening on either side is a welded captive nut. The OEM bolts are steel...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Yeah I was "shocked" to see it that bad :D Tonight I did some more CAN-decoding. The Audio/Video (AV-CAN) is not very well documented on the Leaf. A recent discovery by Jonas Andersson piqued my interest, check this out: YHXWIY8XTCg Now to explain more what is happening here. Due to GDPR, the higher...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Here's something to keep in mind if you're a Nissan Leaf owner. A year ago, July 2019, Nissan issues a service campaign where you could get the battery bonding plates updated for free. Supposedly they would rust heavily and not offer enough electrical conductivity. https://nna.secure.force.com/recal...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I've noticed that the right hand passenger door makes quite the amount of noise. Any extra squeeks or rattles is extremely noticeable in an electric car, so I need to fix this. Started with removing the door trim. All you need is a PH2 screwdriver. https://i.imgur.com/q7FYLF5.jpg Here is what the...
