On a 32 skyline (not sure bout 33) there are two little buttons for the radio on the left side of the instrument binocle. On for am/fm i think the other i can't think of right now.

Anyways....Since nobody ever keeps the standard head unit (for long), and I can't easily get rid of them I want to use these buttons for something.

Anyone done this before and what did you use them for? Or just any suggestions in general?

Maybe a kill switch, that would be pretty stealth. Hide a kill switch in plain sight. :)

hehehe i had similar thoughts on it...

i was going to see if it was possible to set it up so that it could skip tracks/folders for my MP3 player etc

altho i like ur suggestion of a kill switch.

Hey, I read somewhere that there's a new product which can interface between a head unit and most factory buttons such as those on many car's steering wheels... Maybe you could hook it up to still operate your aftermarket deck, who knows?

Or maybe the kill-switch, or how about a scramble button for an electronic boost controller...

I've pulled apart the console, and I've wired it up so I can control the rear SKYLINE light (I haven't put the thing in yet) on the back of the car with one. The other well I've put the wire there, dunno what I'll use it for yet. Maybe I'll rewire my alarm to it or sumfin.

My remotes mounted on the steering wheel so I have bugger all use for it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

Then you realize that was really the Nitrous button and all that "boom" was your crank snapping into two peices.

no the boom was the bond style rockets!

oh duh!

:)

lol wire em up to the passenger eject sping latch, that way if someone in the passenger seat gets smart, eject em...

used to scare the shit outta ppl with the aircraft style launch button in my 180 with the words "passenger eject" on it, they'd look at the switch, then look at the roof (hardtop) and then look at me in confusion.

Ahh those were the days

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
