I bought myself an R33 gts-t. near the handbrake there is a momentory switch. It has a tube pictured on it with both an up and down arrow... when i press it i can hear a relay clicking but nothing seems to happen.

what does it do?

power doesn't feel different after clicking up and down? boost controllers can come in very different shapes and sizes. i would take a picture of it. you'll have a better chance of someone having a good guess...

its a series two r33 gts-t manual (i dont know if it makes a diff but its a type M 40th anniv.)

the symbol almost looks like a ciggy (a cylinder with a dividing line) and then there is an up and down arrow. the switch is momentory and definately looks factory. it is next to the cup holder. i can hear a relay clicking behind the dash when you press it

sounds like ur centre console has been replaced with one from an auto. so it wont do anythin.

think it's supposed to be for power/snow or something.

i got a series 2 r33 type M 40th anniv. in manual and dont have the switch.

if you look through cars on carsales u'll see the autos with it.

but if it is clicking a relay under the dash, and it is just an auto thing, i'd be more inclined to say that the car was formerly an auto and has had the gearbox changed. maybe post up the vin number and i will check it in fast.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
