what's a valet boot locking switch?

weird thing my 32 does is the climate control screen comes on and off randomly (mostly off now)...

valet boot locking switch is on the inside of the boot lock, when its on you cant pop the boot from the cabin. but with that your spose to have seperate keys for the boot and ignition but mine are the same so whats the point there? :)

also, my screen goes loco sometimes too.. instead of going off, every LCD part goes ON, sometimes only parts go on. It's a loose connection in there but I managed to score another climate control box for 5$ :)

1. Every time I switch the ignition off the engine keeps on running for anywhere between 30sec & 2minutes. "After a few months of driving took it for a service & they fixed it...(nice guys didn't even charge me) they said it was something called a turbo timer & just ripped it out :)

2. Occassionally after a few drinks, I use to jump into the car & notice the dash & steering wheel are gone & moved over to the (as we know it) passenger side. I now realised that I was in the 56 thunderbird left hand drive :)

3. Dunno bout you guys, but does your fuel cap swap sides. Sometimes I go to fill up & could have sworn black & blue the cap was on my drivers side :confused:

I believe the headunit turning off during gear changes is probably a ground issue (as said).

On my car there is a ground wire connected to a bolt at the top of the gearbox near the shifter. If this has at some stage wrapped around the gearstick underneath the gear-boot it may cause problems if that ground was used for something.

Let me see what the weird thing about my car.

My driver's side electric window switch is really sensitive. One small touch and it will wine down, even going over bumpy road sometime.

My climate control off button is jammed for some reason and now I can't switch off my climate control.

And now my antenna is stuff too. It will go up but wouldn't retract automatically, have to get out and shove it back down.

My climate control makes a knocking sound when i turn the car on does about 8 or so times also does it when the aircon changes fan speed.

My seat belt makes a clicking noise which I also now can rarely hear after exhuast install. :bonk:

Yeah I noticed when I pulled the climate controll out in my 34 that when I put it back and switch the car on for the first time after that it makes a horrible knocking too. I think it's some type of system reset thing, maybe a system check. I'm an electronic engineer and it puzzeled me :wassup:

hmm where to start!!!

I get a click click noise when i start moving, the same noise but much worse at high rpm/high boost, sounds like a driveline noise.

where do i start with wiring! theres heaps of it! sunroof closes to about 3" opening then you have to take your hand off and press switch again.

aircon doesn't work cos some gimp took it out!

main concern is my battery can go flat very quickly, its only a piss weak lil thing, but like when i was installing a cd player and testing stuff out it went flat.

i left it for 2 weeks and it wouldn't start, charged it started it, moved it around. i stuck my head in and could tell just by looking that it was flat (fuel guage not reading, interior light not on) my skyline has sat there since july and i start that every so often and she first first time

Has two annoying things as well.

One is a stupid noise it makes under no or low engine load ever since I had the E boost fitted. (really annoys the wife)

Listen to it here

The other tink is it seems to loose power for a sec at around 5000rpm when the boost is on or over about .7 bar (I suspect that this wont be an issue when the new computer is fitted)

how did u get compliance widout dimmer switch...
Probably the same way mine did... I have searched all over and I would bet my leftie that my car hasn't got one fitted.

The only wierd thing about my 'line is that it makes most falcodore drivers think that they are Peter Brock or Dick Johnson.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      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.
