Hi all,

I have just bought a 96 GTR VSpec and on the centre console coin slot there is a three position switch. And when I switch it either way, it just turns the parker lights on, doesn't appear to do anything more than that. I can also turm my parkers on via the indicator stork as usual, but it's got me stuffed to what it is actually intended for. Is this genuine? Or has somone fitted it in the past for fog lights or something rather another?

Can't see from the pic, it looks a little like the rear fog light switch on the series 3 R33's, but that is below the steering wheel column, maybe there were fog lights on it once....

Switch it on, walk to the back of your car, guessing you will find a really bright red light on, it is a fog light switch, alot of cars seem to have them at the back now, excels are a perfect example with the little light at the bottom right of bumper

Yeah, I did that and no difference...Just standard parkers come on!

I think you just answered your own question.

It's for your "Parker" lights.

So when you pull over at night, you can flick that switch and ppl can still see you...

The R32's had them too, but on the dash.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
