R33 compliance - dimmer switch

[Driver]

Hi,

Ive been told that in skylines when the car gets complied you get a console light dimmer switch installed.

Is it compulsary?

I didnt get one

[vspecv]

yes its compulsory

[AeroGrace]

yep...i got one...so did my previous 180SX..it's mandatory...

[Driver]

That sux..

I think my car was complied by F Trucks

Dont people check the cars before they go out

[sven laptop]

I got one, but the knobs who installed the knob put it on the underside of the dash, just where it will remove your kneecap if you have a smash.

They obviously either don't care about safety or just don't think.

PS: That's why SAABs have the ignition switch on the console between the front seats, so it won't remove your other kneecap!

only personal imports dont have to have it . all low volume imports have to have one as well as new belts , tyres , oil . oil filter and brake fluid . u have to have child restrains ( some of them just hook them on the rear speaker grills , great huh ) and high mount rear brake light if not fitted .

[pushead]

talking about dimmer switch, is there anyway to adjust the brightness of the dash even though the dimmer is cranked to the max?

[fooey]

Mine has one... but it doesn't work...

[GILTY]

they also have to have side intrusion bars fitted if not factory fare...

[Driver]

what are they?

Pull the switch out and join the wires together.

... mine never had one...

talk about bullshit safety feature anyway.. "oh no my dash is too bright, oh no, I can't see...I'm blind and i'm going to crash!" .. yer rightt!

[fattdex]

i dont have one, unless they hid it like the ninjas that they are.

[Sumo]

I got one..... But I just joined the wires anyways

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

yeah...i have one...but wires weren't jioned...

when they were...it doens't even work...

why is it that there are switches but the wires aren't joined?

I just did the belts on my r33, they have been rooted since i got the car 10 months ago. I needed new tyres within a few weeks as they were already worn. I think import places find a loop hole with the fitting tyres and just fit any used australian tyre. and i dont have any child restraints. Used car dealers are so dodgy.

Mine has one... but it does work well... I like it

[33Spec2]

i didnt think mine had one but then i realised it was just a small knob thing hidden under the steering wheel area does pretty much fark all! you can barely tell the diff between full brightness and the darkest it goes

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i have one that fits in that little slot next to the steering colum.....looks standard issue to me as it even has the little light that lights up at nite. might have been a standard feature for the later models??

yeah ive seen lines with the wacky knob underneith the steering columb.....looks very out of place. guess im one of the lucky ones

[Craved]

Yeah they dont do too much, but they are a great place to hook into your headlight power for boost guages etc.. i disconnected mine and use it for that
