Dont know what it is for, maybe for heated rear view mirrors? The R30 models have the great feature that if your windows were down after you turned the engine off, if you opened the drivers door the centre console window switches could be used to close the windows. It could not have costed much to incorporate in any model. I wonder why Nissan dropped it.

what about the other buttons? do any of them work without keys?

one thing i've been meaning to look into is the lock/unlock switch. does yours work with the keys out? mine does, even with the car alarmed mine does. what i'm worried about is that means anyone can slide a bit of wire or something past the window seal and press that button and my doors unlock (well except the drivers side) easy way to break-in.

one way around this is to feed the power to that switch from the window switches feed, as they only work with the ignition turned on.

Dont know how similar the Stags are, but i know the r33's passenger door can be unlocked using the button on the drivers door contorls without the ignition etc.

I disabled the unlocking ability of the button by cutting a certain wire, this is exactly what i thought when i first saw it.

So if you can lock the passenger door with that button, but cant unlock it, this would be the likely reason

i want to try and tie mine into the alarm. so when its armed that switch wont work. should be easy enough just got to get motivated to do it.

Yea im sure it could be done by any capable person with a bit of auto elec knowledge.

But i dont even use mine, never have used mine, so the fact i can still lock the passenger side and not unlock it is fine with me :happy:

Pulled the drivers door skin off to check the speaker condition and found this wiring mod to the window switches, does anyone know what it is, does or what for?

Cheers

Aaron

maybe your alarm puts all the windows up when you arm it?

My drivers door switchs can lock and unlock all the doors regardless of key situation, and I can use my windows for about 10 secs after ignition off. I just wish the stagea was like my wifes beetle. You can use the key in the door lock to open and close the windows.

So the other day I decided to rejoin the wires to see what happens. Now the drivers door window stays active until the keys are removed and the drivers door is opened then closed. After it is closed to window becoms inactive. I like it better this way as I usually notice the window is slightly open as I am exiting the vehicle. :thumbsup:

thats how mine it, but it only works on the drivers door

maybe they tried to mod it so that it worked on all the windows?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
