What Does The Power Button Do?

[R33TOM]

just wandering what the power/snow buttons do,

they are located next to the handbrake,

the owners manual i got is in jap ofcourse, and i got no idea what its saying in the manual

Assuming you have an auto, it would change the shift points. Power would raise the RPM at which it changes up (and down probably), and the snow setting usually means your car will take off in second to avoid wheelspin.

Basically it means that Power holds it in gear longer and Snow means you take off like a tired snail.

it gives you extra hidden 500hp and turns your car into a Z tune...................don't we all wish

hahaha and eveyone else will be fighting to get hold of an auto skyline : )

ah cool thanks for the reply guys,

so the button is a bit like the econ buttons on the ford falcons, where you can turn it on to stop it from holding onto the gear for too long, hence increases fuel economy,

while the power button is the reverse, it will allow you to get more power out of the engine,

currently i noticed if you plant your foot down, the engine still revs to 7k, what will be different if power is switched on?

In power it kicks down a lot easier, and is more reluctant to change up. Also seems to launch better, dont know if im imagining it but.

Driving in power mode is much more fun when you want to fang, the car feels sluggish in normal and snow modes. Snow is good for saving fuel but!

The enging will rev the same in any mode.

NO IT definatly isnt an ECON button! dont use it like that at all, if its anything like the AUTO subarus with that button you can burn out the auto by using it to drive normal with.

so dont use it like the econ button.

snow mode takes of in 2nd gear ....auto stays standard gearing and power holds peak rpm longer so it picks up speed quicker .

btw my power button lights up orange , is the snow meant to light up blue or is my bulb in it dead ????

[MacGuyver]

I think my snow button lights up green? I will have to check. Power button is definetely orange though.

[MR R33]

if its anything like my vy ss ute, the power button shifts the gears up higher at just normal driving and it gives it alot better throttle respnse, dont use it if you want economy as it doesnt do that.

[MacGuyver]

Yup, my snow button lights up green.

pretty much yep

[mr_crust]

thanks MacGuyver, now i wanna change it, coz since i have owned the car i never seen it light up but looking at it , it looked like it had to.

any ideas how to change the globe?

[**JaR**]

honestly would you ever use the snow button anyways.....

[MacGuyver]

I have no ideas on how to change the globe, but I did used to use the snow button after I just brought the car on rainy days. I don't really touch it now though.

[mr_crust]

yeah i use it when its pissing down rain,

its not the matter if i use it or not , i just like to have everything working

[**JaR**]

fair enough i guess. still pointless if you dont use it. lol.

Power buton holds the boost better and ecu is more agresive
