Two Item And A Button In My Car - What Are They?


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what this button is? It's just on the bottom left of the steering column... it only presses, it doesn't switch...

Also, I have this strange little unit in the right hand corner my dash... does anybody know what it is??

Cheers!!

Ok, I have some better pictures.. Any ideas?

On the unit on top of the dash, the switch on the side has three settings - off - 1L or IL - SQ.

It definitely looks like a little solar panel and has what looks to be like four LED's on the front of it.

Cheers!

Not sure about the dash solar thing, but why not undo the 3 screws that hold the lower dash on and follow the wires from that switch. I'd be interested to know what it does.

I'm guessing that if it's anything stock then the wires will very quickly disappear into the web of wires under the dash.

Mate of mine had a similar button. couldn't work it out for ages. When we took off his front bar we found an old radar detector/scrambler black box. Traced back the wiring and it went to a module that the switch was wired to.

the button that just presses is for the parking light on a stick that comes out of the passenger front side on the bumper. had one on my 33. its prob been taken off but the button remains.

That sounds pretty unique, never heard of/seen one of those. Got pics of the actual unit?

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
