jesus christ. you guys tend to get a bit carried away dont ya think? I was pretty sure I read all of wrxhoons posts as trying to be helpful?!

I think we have gotten to the button, but I will add one thing. Those of you with cars from hokkaido I would be giving your undercariage a good check, and a very good clean and if not rusty, spray with fish oil. also remove your bumpers and check other usual rust spots (like rear guards). Hokkaido (northmost island of japan) has a LOT of snow, and as such a lot of salt (sometimes other chemicals) used to melt the snow. I have imported a few cars in my life and the worst of them were all hokkaido cars. one of them was very rusty and cost me a lot to repair properly, after that I vowed never to import another hokkaido car again (and I've been happy ever since!). if you talk to anyone who knows much about importing cars they will tell you a similar story about rusty cars from hokkaido.

Thats the reason I bought mine in Osaka and inspect it personaly, i have seen to many young( 3-5 yo) rusty cars around . You see for me even a sign of corossion is enough to turn me oof not actualy rusty panels with the brown mark on it . If i see white stuff on the alloy parts in the engine bay or bolts with it on, I know the car was in a salty area..

Don't worry mate I can take it as much as I can dish it it and I have in front of me the full translation of the owners manual as well but these suckers don't deserve it so I will keep it to myself or anyone that wants to know can P.M.

I know exacly what it does on my car and I have said so, anyone that doesn't believe me they can go and get . I went to a lot of trouble to po take pics and put them up for them to see and for my troubles I get shit thrown at me....

all we were saying is that the mirrors weren't the only thing it controlled, as the picture looks like a windscreen.

but then you go and read through other posts peolpe have made and act all high and might about it, and act like the mirrors are the only thing it controls.

I think I can read what you posted dude, no I don't act high or might at all , I leave that for you because you are know-all ( know shill-all in other words ) .

If you cared to read my posts, I said thats what it does in my car and i put up the evidence because I knew dickheads like you wouldn't believe me!!! Where is your evidence know-all? All you could do is post up wild guesses like warming up the washer water!!!

Re the Hokkaido thing - that was one of the first things I was curious about (given use of salt on the roads) so it's all cleaned up under there and covered with rust-kill paint etc. :happy:

So we've established that the button turns on the de-icing elements for the wipers and in R34 GT-R's at least also heats the wing-mirror glass. Cool.

wrxhoon I'd be curious and thankful to see that translation (and it would add to the value of the forums as a resource for everyone) but if you're still PMS'ing at me that's ok too.

okie.. i've actually met up with wrxhoon before and he knows the stuff he is talking about, and a hell of a guy as well! he knows his sheieit mate =)

i just hope they didn't change my mirrors at compliancing.. i'll give the wipers theory a go next time i go down to somewhere cold in winter.

nahhhhhhhhhhhh your all jumping around the obvious answer....

the button is a "skyline-know-it-all" button. see when an r34 owner presses it we all jump up and speak wisdom. it clearly shows.

CMON whats the next secret button to fight over!!! while were at it, turn on the "skyline-know-it-all" button.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

Um, dude, you just shot yourself in the foot I think...

Dude you made your point here and now you want to find out from me? End of story...

If you don't have convex mirrors ( objects look smaller and further away) they have been changed, I don't think all GTT's have heated mirrors , actaully not even all GTR's , mine has them because it's an M-Spec but I'm sure 8ut was an option.

I can't remember meeting you ( I meet so many different people from SAU) but thanks for your support

The wiper de-icer button only activates the heating elements for the windscreen.

The wing mirror heaters are on the rear screen defogger circuit.

i think someone needs a cookie, dude. you seem to be acting all high and mighty in these 2 posts, dude.

see now if you weren't such a stuck up dude, dude, you would've posted up the translation so all us other dudes could view it.

dude.

You do that dude, if you think thats what you need ...

The above pics are from this workshop manual: R34 that DOES NOT include GTR , it has all the other 34's in it . If you can find me a workshop manual the has 34 GTR , i'll pay you for it , not Nissan price though....

As i said before many times in my GTR ( 34 M-spec ) thats what that switch does . Unlike you i have it here and i used it sometimes.

Here is the workshop manual you used and the models it covers.....

Dude....dude..dude ... you don't have to repeat yourself .....Me high and mighty? You wouldn't have a clue obviously. Ask around people that know me, i'm sure they will tell you otherwise .

As for the translation, i can assure you the HolyEvil has a copy of it , as for you , you won't be getting it from me thats for sure . Anyone else that wants it I'm more that happy to share with them ...

does that mean that you've given jmac a copy? if not then you should change your post to say that you will share with anyone that hasn't made you teary eyed.

and just because yours makes the heater in the mirrors work, it may have had some wiring changed to make it do it.

Refer post 40 dude, "Ohhh, i'm a big boy now dude so no crying on my part you may cry if you wish though..."

I can see now you know my car as well...... How many R34 GTR M-specs have you seen dude? Not in pics either .... I think I can guess the answer to that ......NONE and you probably never will , I know you will say you have seen several though...

Dineth, I agree .....

    • Thanks, I removed the fuse and the relay from the car and made my own circuit with them to test them with a test bulb.  I will look for the wiring diagram and go from there.
    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
