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!!!

Hey kralster thanx for the input. Answer to your question is I have a 1999 model GTT Coupe.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
