Hi all,

I am a little bit curius about a switch on my '03 V35 Sedan. It sits to the right of the "VDC Off" button and is connected to something in behind the panel where the DVD-ROM drive for the GPS sits. Does anyone have any idea what it does?? Is it something to do with the optional card reader thingy that some cars have?

I have some pictures if that helps :blink:

I have the same looking switch in mine on the right side of the VDC switch, except it says TV/NAV on it. What it does on mine is it connects to a little unit that bypasses the handbrake required to view TV while driving.

Question - where is your boot release switch? And what is that button to the left on the first pic. Looks like it says auto?

Well i am unfortunately a shmuck who does not have a boot release :cheers: That and cruise control are the only two things i want on the car i dont have as yet.

The button that says auto is the one that automatically lowers my two side mirrors to point towards the ground when i select reverse. It is good and bad that function as sometimes it doesnt help at all!!

How r u gonna open your boot? with a key? Is yours a series 1 V35 Sedan with the 'doggie door flap' on the boot?

Hehe, nah it has a push button release on the boot handle!

Good old manual opening never hurt anyone......

yep thats it!

the right of the panels looks like its been changed too..

someone mush have played around with the area

the smaller button on the left is for the side mirrors - when pressed in it activates the side mirrors to drop down when the car is in reverse.. dealer-fitted option.

Worked out last night its a bypass switch to play vids while moving :D

Handy seen as i just got my iPod working on it yesterday! Will be posting some pics of the approach i took. Similiar to most, just that i used a different iPod dock which is currently available at Dick Smith.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
