jesus christ. you guys tend to get a bit carried away dont ya think? I was pretty sure I read all of wrxhoons posts as trying to be helpful?!

I think we have gotten to the button, but I will add one thing. Those of you with cars from hokkaido I would be giving your undercariage a good check, and a very good clean and if not rusty, spray with fish oil. also remove your bumpers and check other usual rust spots (like rear guards). Hokkaido (northmost island of japan) has a LOT of snow, and as such a lot of salt (sometimes other chemicals) used to melt the snow. I have imported a few cars in my life and the worst of them were all hokkaido cars. one of them was very rusty and cost me a lot to repair properly, after that I vowed never to import another hokkaido car again (and I've been happy ever since!). if you talk to anyone who knows much about importing cars they will tell you a similar story about rusty cars from hokkaido.

Thats the reason I bought mine in Osaka and inspect it personaly, i have seen to many young( 3-5 yo) rusty cars around . You see for me even a sign of corossion is enough to turn me oof not actualy rusty panels with the brown mark on it . If i see white stuff on the alloy parts in the engine bay or bolts with it on, I know the car was in a salty area..

Don't worry mate I can take it as much as I can dish it it and I have in front of me the full translation of the owners manual as well but these suckers don't deserve it so I will keep it to myself or anyone that wants to know can P.M.

I know exacly what it does on my car and I have said so, anyone that doesn't believe me they can go and get . I went to a lot of trouble to po take pics and put them up for them to see and for my troubles I get shit thrown at me....

all we were saying is that the mirrors weren't the only thing it controlled, as the picture looks like a windscreen.

but then you go and read through other posts peolpe have made and act all high and might about it, and act like the mirrors are the only thing it controls.

I think I can read what you posted dude, no I don't act high or might at all , I leave that for you because you are know-all ( know shill-all in other words ) .

If you cared to read my posts, I said thats what it does in my car and i put up the evidence because I knew dickheads like you wouldn't believe me!!! Where is your evidence know-all? All you could do is post up wild guesses like warming up the washer water!!!

Re the Hokkaido thing - that was one of the first things I was curious about (given use of salt on the roads) so it's all cleaned up under there and covered with rust-kill paint etc. :happy:

So we've established that the button turns on the de-icing elements for the wipers and in R34 GT-R's at least also heats the wing-mirror glass. Cool.

wrxhoon I'd be curious and thankful to see that translation (and it would add to the value of the forums as a resource for everyone) but if you're still PMS'ing at me that's ok too.

okie.. i've actually met up with wrxhoon before and he knows the stuff he is talking about, and a hell of a guy as well! he knows his sheieit mate =)

i just hope they didn't change my mirrors at compliancing.. i'll give the wipers theory a go next time i go down to somewhere cold in winter.

nahhhhhhhhhhhh your all jumping around the obvious answer....

the button is a "skyline-know-it-all" button. see when an r34 owner presses it we all jump up and speak wisdom. it clearly shows.

CMON whats the next secret button to fight over!!! while were at it, turn on the "skyline-know-it-all" button.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

Um, dude, you just shot yourself in the foot I think...

Dude you made your point here and now you want to find out from me? End of story...

If you don't have convex mirrors ( objects look smaller and further away) they have been changed, I don't think all GTT's have heated mirrors , actaully not even all GTR's , mine has them because it's an M-Spec but I'm sure 8ut was an option.

I can't remember meeting you ( I meet so many different people from SAU) but thanks for your support

The wiper de-icer button only activates the heating elements for the windscreen.

The wing mirror heaters are on the rear screen defogger circuit.

i think someone needs a cookie, dude. you seem to be acting all high and mighty in these 2 posts, dude.

see now if you weren't such a stuck up dude, dude, you would've posted up the translation so all us other dudes could view it.

dude.

You do that dude, if you think thats what you need ...

The above pics are from this workshop manual: R34 that DOES NOT include GTR , it has all the other 34's in it . If you can find me a workshop manual the has 34 GTR , i'll pay you for it , not Nissan price though....

As i said before many times in my GTR ( 34 M-spec ) thats what that switch does . Unlike you i have it here and i used it sometimes.

Here is the workshop manual you used and the models it covers.....

Dude....dude..dude ... you don't have to repeat yourself .....Me high and mighty? You wouldn't have a clue obviously. Ask around people that know me, i'm sure they will tell you otherwise .

As for the translation, i can assure you the HolyEvil has a copy of it , as for you , you won't be getting it from me thats for sure . Anyone else that wants it I'm more that happy to share with them ...

does that mean that you've given jmac a copy? if not then you should change your post to say that you will share with anyone that hasn't made you teary eyed.

and just because yours makes the heater in the mirrors work, it may have had some wiring changed to make it do it.

Refer post 40 dude, "Ohhh, i'm a big boy now dude so no crying on my part you may cry if you wish though..."

I can see now you know my car as well...... How many R34 GTR M-specs have you seen dude? Not in pics either .... I think I can guess the answer to that ......NONE and you probably never will , I know you will say you have seen several though...

Dineth, I agree .....

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
