I've got one of these buttons too. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't do anything. I couldn't figure it out either. When I pulled apart my dash i noted that the button was located near a little vent that was attached to a hose of some kind. Almost like an air freshener pump. I presumed it was for that reason.

I believe that hose is a temperature sensor of sorts

that was a compliance issue under the old rules... the cars needed a dimmer switch and that was the easiest way to put one in :(

and i always thought it was factory cause it sure looks like it. my antenna switch is just above my left knee..that looks factory too. thumbs up to the compliance guys then.

yeah the tube is for your climate control to measure cabin temp, im pretty sure of it.

Some jealous so-and-sos buried a really smic R33 with its owner out at Eastern Creek... right in the middle of the Lighthorse Interchange.

You cannot see the car at all. The only way he was able to draw attention, was to press this switch!

All that remains, is this aerial, sticking up outta the ground; 50m high & lit up at night!

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
