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.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
