Hi all,

Just trying to identify an indicator light on my 34 GTR. It's down to the left of the steering wheel and has Japanese markings along with 1000km and 5000km printed on each indicator. Whilst driving the left '1000km' light illuminates orange however the right '5000km' remains unlit.

My thoughts are it has something to do with the run-in servicing of the vehicle?

Here's some photos:

looks like a showerhead, have a shower every 1000km and every 5000km?????

maybe its a service light? saying do a service every 1000km and 5000km???

unless you can get someone to translate the little japanese looking symbol underneath.

from what i gathered, those characters are 点 and 検 (hopefully they display properly on your screen...)

but either way, they translate into "point" and "search" respectively... but when combined they mean:

1. inspection

2. checking

3. examination

so it may well be just a reminder for servicing/ checking/ maintenance on the vehicle.

as for one staying on, is there a reset button for it? i noticed a little set of holes near the LEDs, maybe you poke it and it resets?

either way... those crazy japs...

The wires run into the back of the tacho and there is a black box that sits under the dash that connects to it , to reset the lights insert a paper clip into both holes while the acc are on then turn to reds , flash 3 times and it will reset , I have one and have played with it all day lol

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
