They're your fog lights.

The button for them is below your rear demister button just above your headlight stalk to the right of your steering wheel.

If you have had projector style lights fitted to your car at any stage they probably havn't been reconnected upon putting them back to standard, correct me if im wrong but they only type-M 32's and GTR's have projector lights fitted standard , type-m have fog lights in front bar usually if they are still 100% standard, therefore this switch would turn those on. Im not sure bout GTR's.

All i know mine hasn't been tinkered with and thats what that button does, i use them instead of my parkers in dusk and dawn situations, they have more intensity than your parkers, but they def. not high beams. You couldn't drive around with them on by themselves in complete darkness.

oh, and they are white, not yellow, alla Silvia style.

Mine originally came with projector headlights.

In the centre console is a switch with the same symbol as the button below the rear demister button. It would turn on the parkers but not the fog lights, I didn't have a clue what was it's purpose. Today i found that the fog light button below the rear demister was not connected, found the plug for it connected to another plug which traced back to the switch in the centre console. Unplugged it and plugged it into the fog light button below the rear demister button and it works! :)

The button turns on the parkers front n rear and the fog lights.

A big thanks to you guys for the helpful advice, cheers. :)

Yeah, they are your foglights as THENIG stated.

But one thing though, mine is a GTR but i still have those lights, instead of projectors. Supposedly N1? I have no idea

Yeah i've been scouring ebay for a while now looking for projector headlamps, and i saw somebody trying to pass off what looked like standard 'non-projector' headlamps as 'N1' GTR lamps, they ended up going for some ridiculous price, the photos were pretty clear and I'll be damned if they were any different from my standard GTST lights that are on my 4door, so if any1 has projector headlamps and wants to swap them for 'genuine N1' spec heaplamps, then PM me. :)

No seriously, i would love to see what the real differences' are.

The genuine N1 headlights (no projector) had brackets to hold the GTR's grille on while the other non projector headlight don't have the brackets? I'm assuming they're the only difference because I'm pretty sure those 'lower spec normal' ones don't have these brackets and the GTR's need them to hold the grille on.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
