1. Unless I'm very wrong, the wiper controls should be on the LEFT of the steering wheel, and the rear window wiper should be on the same stalk as the front windscreen wipers. On the RIGHT of the steering wheel is where your indicators and headlights are, so I'm guessing that other switch is you turning on your fog lights (the yellow ones).

2. What clips are you talking about? Your question is too generalised - maybe take a few pics or give us a better description.

3. If the plugs on your headlights are melting, maybe take the car to an Auto Electrician to sort that out...

If it is wiper related, you might have heated wipers?!?! (was that an option?)

Useful in Japan where the wiper blades could freeze to the screen or even become hard and frozen in extreme conditions.

^ thats usually able to be seen as it is a demister strip like the back window one running along the bottom of the windscreen - they heat the glass not the wiper blades (being made out of rubber and/or silicon they wouldn't respond to electrical heating real well....)

picsorban?

Is'nt it quite a tickle when you buy a vehicle that does not have a set of operating instructions?? LOLLOLLOL

It took me at least twominutes to find the hand, err, foot brake. I still have a laugh about it. And not being able to get the stupid rotten sod out of park without putting your foot on the foot brake. I'd had heaps of autos and that was a first for me.

I guess it is allpart of the Stagea Saga.

I luv em.

2) If you are referring to the 2 clips on the passager side foot kick panel, they were used to hold the road side emergency flares back in japan... alas I reckon only about 40% of cars arrive here with them still attatched...

Me thinks they get taken along the way for people to have fun with :D

^^^Yeah. I have owned a few imports now (all Nissans) and have never had the pleasure of getting the factory flare. But a work friend just got a mint R33 and it came with the flare. Nothing special really I guess but its pretty cool just to get one. I probably wouldn't want to use it though just to keep it there :D Mind you, it would probably fetch a bit on Ebay :)

I got these 2 thick (one red and one green) manuals in a red stagea folder when I got my car. Heaps of stuff in them but since they're all in Japanese I can only look at the pics and try and make sense of it. I remember seeing a pic of that switch before and it pointed to something to do with the wind screen. I assumed it had something to do with heating it as well. But I have never been able to test it out!

i converted my flare clips into a mag lite style torch holder and its kind of a handy spot to keep torch too cos it will usually be the passenger that is req'd to hold one anyway, only thing was that the clips are a touch small for a "MAGLITE" but some other equivalent brand torches will fit straight in them.

or you could just buy the proper maglite brand clips and install them in the originals place i spose?

cheers oxford

Leetom is correct, the "Wiper de-icer system" usually came with a cold weather spec pack which also included heated wing mirrors, rear fog lamps & if you coupled that with the "S Pack" you would get a rear viscous Limited slip diff (LSD)

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
