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 .....

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
