Light has come up on my dash this morning. RH side of cluster, bottom row, on the very left. It looks like a house with long windows kind of?? To the left of the exhaust warning light and oil light. Might get some pics up tonight if no one can help out.

Low water in your radiator over flow bottle or somethinng along those lines, i overheated mine once and that warning came up, filled overflow bottle back up and didn't have any other issues

i was wondering what that light was for too.. with my conversion the i'm using the r32 over flow bottle and its not conected to the wiring (why bother) i might just remove the bulb. one small mystery crossed of the list...

Is anyone elses battery light on constantly?  I've always got heaps of charge to crank it over and I left it standing for a couple of months and it was fine

My bet would be that your alternator will give way in couple of weeks time. Thats what happened with mine, I believe boof has gone through a few too.

yerp word to that, 4 in a bout 3 months or something stupid!! it results from the regulater being to slow to regulate so kills the alternators pretty quickly i beleive!!

Coolness. The light went off straight away after restarting this morning. Just got home from a 30 min drive back from g/f's house and the light came on for a while, then went out. I checked coolant today and it was fine, but will top up over flow bottle tomorrow.

Hmm... the battery light has been on since I got the car and I've been driving it daily for 12,000km in 6 or 7 months.

You checked that all your wiring to the alternator is connected?? Sounds like some dodgy wiring going on there somewhere maybe, i know when my alternators are going to die, cause all my warning lights on my dash come on, door lights the works!! Silly dr's

The reason that all the dash lights come up is the bulb-check sequence. There is a relay hooked up to the alternator & battery that is only energised when the alternator isn't charging. Hence when your alternator dies, not only do you get the charge light illuminated - all the other lamps come up too (except the high beam & cat converter temp from memory).

The original almp in question is the low coolant overflow warning lamp. Chances are that if yours doesn't work the bulb is gone - I replaced about 4 when I got my DR to get them all working.

The bulb-check sequence reveals all! :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
