What Does This Do?

Theres a cord coming out from behind the centre console and on there is a button on the end of it that you can toggle off or on and I have no idea what it does.

Obviously its for something aftermarket and I think that whatever it was, its been removed but they didn't bother removing the button.

I've looked through the japanese auction photos of other Skylines and found a few that have similar buttons mounted at the same locations, does anyone know what this is for?

That is a switch for the unit that keeps the display running while the vehicle is in motion.

I have the same unit which I bought from Chris a while back.

Please don't remind me. I had an idiot apprentice who kept calling my V36 a Maxima. Dope couldn't remember the damn difference between Max Snr and Max Jr! Then again, he couldn't remember anything after 30 seconds because his eyes were always glued to that bloody phone of his instead of doing his friggin' job.

:).. I had a jax tyre fitter try to say my V35 is a 'puss box version' of an R35. Seems he doesn't know the only thing it shares with a R35 is a Nissan badge.. I guess I should be thankful he didn't call it a maxima?? :). Although it at least shares an engine with a maxima! :)

Continuing with the whole what does this do thing. I was changing a fuse under my dash and found this barrel connector tucked behind some plastic under the dash. Not sure what its meant to be plugged into but seems like its original. Any ideas regarding this one?

Also I have that switch as well and no it doesn't seems like its meant to keep the headlights on.

Didn't work.

Anyone else know?

Ok so it turns out that yes, it does work for keeping headlights on.

You need to lock the car once it's parked in a dark enough area and they will stay on for a little while.

I also noticed a fuse missing under the bonnet which was 10A and covered accessory? I ended up putting one in so that might also be the reason for it not working??

To be honest, it doesn't look original to me. I haven't seen any factory Nissan components that use a common DC connector like that.

My guess is a previous owner had something mounted in this area that needed power and had this cable wired in.

agreed, many times a lot of cars have one of those radar detectors which are widely used in japan/asia region but get taken out by customs or DAFF inspection agents...

Hmm... I think you guys might be right, since it doesn't make sense for them to use a barrel type connector since they use those plastic plugs for everything else...

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
