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...

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
