Hey everyone, ive just bought myself a r33 series 2 and i have a question, on the dash (right beside the speedo) there are a set of 7 lights, the one furthest to the left on the bottom row shines green whenever i start the car up, any ideas what ths light is for, i was thinking possibly a warning to do the timing belt as the car has just turned over 100000kms, the timing belt has been done however??? any help would be good, cheers

Weird. I have a green LED in the same spot as the ones in that picture that does the same thing; comes on when the Fog lights do. It just serves as a reminder that the foggies are on, just in case your Skyline doesn't beep-nag you to death if you forget.

Rip out the cluster and follow the wires, see where they go.

^^ Looks like its a compliance thing as theres no way thats factory! Looks like shit!

lol on it being a timing belt light...that would be funny.

Toyota Hiace's have a timing belt light, it flicks on every 100,000km, and to reset it, you take the cluster out and move a small screw from one hole to another, re-setting the timer for another 100,000km... moving the screw back again when it clicks ANOTHER 100K :sick: and so on.......

Wow, Australian has some ass requirements for jap cars!

Pretty sure the thing beeps at you same as the headlights doesnt it? Because it switches the park lights on too.

Well, does in mine anyway and i dont have fog lights! The switch just turns on the parkers.

    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
    • Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.
    • I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
