I need help guys!!

I've just purchased an ER34 RB25DE NEO. I found this in the car, which no one I spoke to are able to explain to me what the heck this thing is and how to shut the light off.

Could some one tell me about this item?

Refer to the bottom right of the bigger picture for the location of the detailed picture.

I am guessing it is a service indicator light for the car, but what is it supposed to indicated? That it was serviced on 1000km and 5000km when it was first purchased?

Yeah, of all the R34 I've seen that thing don't exist. I wonder if it's wise to remove them..... coz it's kinda pointless to have that on, since the car is already over the 5000km.

Perhaps not. It could be when the light comes on at 5000km, the idea is to remind the driver the car is due for an oil and filter change/service, and a reset button may then be pushed once the service is complete - thus resetting an internal counter, wired to the odometer, which will count until another 5000km is clocked up, at which time the light comes on again. I like it. It would be an accurate way to know when the car is due for a service rather than letting it go for a few 100km over. Then again I could be just making sh!t up here :) but it's definitely an aftermarket device, I've not seen one before. Kinda cool.. :)

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
