I picked up my new 2006 V36 350GT SP (Bose system with Navi) on Tuesday and I cant say anything wrong with it.

I wish I knew Japanese so I understood what some of the things mean.

I understand that I don't have a financially reasonable ($5,000) chance of changing the software to english and I understood that from reading Chris Rogers posts and I really want to thank you Chris for all your information that you have put on here. I wish my iPhone 5 would be able to stream the music via bluetooth however just happy enough with it being able to answer and make calls using the bluetooth of the system.

What I would like to know is 2 things:

1) What is the Snow Button? I cant find any information on it? (my kids think its a button that will produce snow out the back whilst driving, I wish) (oh and they are still looking out the window for my new CarWings!)

2) Indicator sound is there a way to increase this as its really soft and i have to look and make sure it's on? (im sure if I increase the volume of this I will say "Too Loud") just thought in amongst the warren of settings that I do not understand there is one that says indicator volume. If not no stress.

If anyone could enlighten me on the Snow button that would be great!

I cant stop seeing Skylines now, I keep on passing them or they pass me. I didn't realise how many there were in Melbourne!

Snow mode is just a button that activates some different values in the ECU map.

This can be used for low traction situations, to help the car proceed safely. It can be any of the following- reduce throttle sensitivity/response, gearbox locked into starting in a higher gear (2nd), and/or constant torque split in regards to AWD cars.

It is largely useless unless you are stuck in mud/sand or at the snow.

This has been covered several times now by new owners. The Fourm has a search function that is useful for this kind of stuff.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
