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!!

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
