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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
