Hey,

I know it seems like I post a lot of pretty basic questions up, but I wasnt a car enthusiast all my life and I missed out on a lot of beginners stuff that most people already know, and I think its better to ask stupid questions than continue on assumed knowledge or no knowledge.

Anyway, Ive attached some photos of stickers and parts on my car that I don't know what they are or what they mean, any information would be helpful.

1: (red/white) is the tyre placard showing what the tyre pressure should be in KPA

Weird...this should have been removed and replaced with an English sticker/plate during compliance.

2 + 5: (ENEOS)

These look like "next service due at" stickers.

AT = Auto Transmission

CV = CV Joint

etc

3 + 4

Where are they ?

They look like amps or something

6: (Green/Black)

Air con information (probably from the last air con service / last time air con was regassed)

7: (Black/White)

Emmissions information ?

3 and 4 are both from Mitsubishi, which confuses me a lot being in a Skyline :)

Its mounted just to the right of the had unit under the steering wheel, to the left of where your leg is sitting toward the clutch.

It has a card slot and the little diagram is directions on how to insert the card.

The theories ive heard about it are that it is a tuner shop details card (but the car is stock), its a credit card swiper (and it might have been a taxi in japan) or that its like one of those cars that can be rented and they have cards to start and time your use.

Im not really sure what it is, but its weird to me that it has mitsubishi written on it

Nah contrary to popular beleif they were never used as taxi's.

Wouldn't be for a tuner / workshop.

Possibly a rental car...

Alot of stuff on Nissans has the Mitsi logo.

On both my Ceffies the Crank Angle Sensor, some other little electrical stuff and bits of the air con have that logo.

Is there any wiring going into those card machines ?

Japan is 10 years ahead of us in technology.

In 2000, the ETC in your Skyline would have been the bee's knee's start of the art niftiest shit ever. A decade later "ours" might be smaller than that, but Japan would have even smaller, faster and smarter ones by now :wub: haha

Your probably right about that... But do you think they eliminated the card system? I mean, considering its a card, it does have a limit to how small it can be.

don't forget, sim cards used to be the size of a credit card.. :P

also they car was probably made big so that it was easy to remove or install if you bought a new car, or if it was something that needed to be replaced often. imagine if your credit card was the size of a sim card. it would be a pain if you had to try and swipe it through a machine everytime you bought something.

3 and 4 are both from Mitsubishi, which confuses me a lot being in a Skyline :)
Probably because it's made by Mitsubishi Electric, as distinct from Mitsubishi Motors.

(There are numerous "Mitsubishi" companies in Japan, from when the original Mitsubishi conglomerate was broken up by the US following WWII. They all use the three diamonds logo - Mitsubishi literally means "3 diamonds")

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
