They're your fog lights.

The button for them is below your rear demister button just above your headlight stalk to the right of your steering wheel.

If you have had projector style lights fitted to your car at any stage they probably havn't been reconnected upon putting them back to standard, correct me if im wrong but they only type-M 32's and GTR's have projector lights fitted standard , type-m have fog lights in front bar usually if they are still 100% standard, therefore this switch would turn those on. Im not sure bout GTR's.

All i know mine hasn't been tinkered with and thats what that button does, i use them instead of my parkers in dusk and dawn situations, they have more intensity than your parkers, but they def. not high beams. You couldn't drive around with them on by themselves in complete darkness.

oh, and they are white, not yellow, alla Silvia style.

Mine originally came with projector headlights.

In the centre console is a switch with the same symbol as the button below the rear demister button. It would turn on the parkers but not the fog lights, I didn't have a clue what was it's purpose. Today i found that the fog light button below the rear demister was not connected, found the plug for it connected to another plug which traced back to the switch in the centre console. Unplugged it and plugged it into the fog light button below the rear demister button and it works! :)

The button turns on the parkers front n rear and the fog lights.

A big thanks to you guys for the helpful advice, cheers. :)

Yeah, they are your foglights as THENIG stated.

But one thing though, mine is a GTR but i still have those lights, instead of projectors. Supposedly N1? I have no idea

Yeah i've been scouring ebay for a while now looking for projector headlamps, and i saw somebody trying to pass off what looked like standard 'non-projector' headlamps as 'N1' GTR lamps, they ended up going for some ridiculous price, the photos were pretty clear and I'll be damned if they were any different from my standard GTST lights that are on my 4door, so if any1 has projector headlamps and wants to swap them for 'genuine N1' spec heaplamps, then PM me. :)

No seriously, i would love to see what the real differences' are.

The genuine N1 headlights (no projector) had brackets to hold the GTR's grille on while the other non projector headlight don't have the brackets? I'm assuming they're the only difference because I'm pretty sure those 'lower spec normal' ones don't have these brackets and the GTR's need them to hold the grille on.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
