R34 Owners. Wat Does This Switch Do?

[woldo]

Hi guys was wondering if anyone knows wat the switch to the bottom right of the ignition does in an R34 GTT 1999 model???? It has the label V.S.S on it and the options are sports or silent...

Any insite to this would be greatly appreciated

Thanx in advance

My friend you have the little button which can make your exhaust louder or quieter. All it does is move this little flap like thing in the exhaust to make it "sports" loud or "silent" quiet. You may find it doesn't work as they are known to seize up.

Just out of interest can you tell me exactly your model of skyline is year, model etc. Cos my 98 2 door turbo manual doesn't have that switch.

It's a factory option from Nismo. Basically exactly how described.

they sieze up because of the heat of the exhaust burning off lubricants on the read muffler flat assembly.

If you have an aftermarket exhaust, then that device has long since been scrapped. If you still have the stock exhast (albeit with a Nismo stamp on the rear muffler) then it can be made to work.

Get out the WD40, give it a bath to try to un-sieze it, and then get yourself some high temperature grease, maybe brake pad anti squeel, and apply.

See how you go.

If, on the other hand, you have an aftermarket exhaust, go and buy a NAWS kit, and use the switch for turning on the NO2!!!
