My auto headlight sensor seems a little too sensitive as the lights come on if I even drive through a shadow!

Wouldn't normally worry but a friend on a recent cruise said it looked like I kept flashing him to the point of being annoying.

Is this adjustable?

cheers

i don thave this problem but i dont use auto headlights, i just use the manual one

a bit off topic

do you V35 boys have a function where the dash cluster will automatically change it's brightness according to ambient light? It does on my v36 and sometimes it can get annoying on a bright day going through tunnels or under bridges/overpasses

no doubt it can be turned off but all menus in japanese hehehe

the auto function works quite well in the v36, even at dusk it will only turn on until after a certain amount of light has dimmed

My auto head light works well, actually I feel it is a little bit too un sensitive, it only turn on when it is way too dark,(also when in tunnels).

TO YO YO:

v35 have the same function as v36. But as I said my senser is not that sensitive, so I am pretty happy with it.

Yes the sensitivity is adjustable, but you need a consult or compatible to change it.

It's got a few other funky things you can mess with like the time the interior dome light stays on after you turn the ignition off.

Other things like how cold the aircon is you can change via a combination of button press procedures.

I know your being serious but........ I generally use the air con buttons to control the temperature :santa: (you know the up and down)

being serious.... what do you mean by this. what is there to adjust other than the temperature and this is on a digital scale

???

You have me confused.

Oh and Geoff mine seems to work ok, however I don't use it often. I prefer to do things myself.

I'm with you on an answer to this....I'd be very interested!

I like the auto dash dimmer system...it seems pretty cool!...still, knowing how to tamper with parameters would be pretty cool too...espesh the idea of playing with the AC system settings (via button combo's??).

Superspit....(all time tinkerererer)

Hey Geoff, dont quote me, I would doubt you would have a manual adjustment. (sort of defeats the purpose I reckon) A japanese friend translated the buttons and I certaily dont recall anything that does this. Short of a changing a sensor I would just use manual.

Have to admitt the auto dimmer on the dash lights was a surprise when it I first used auto lights.. But its fine.

Aircon sensitivity was adjustable in the R33 (32 and 34 would be the same as the control panel is very similar) Up 3 and down 3 degrees...

Can't remember how exactly, but most dealers would know.

This is a guess from memory...

Ignition off, hold auto button, turn ignition on.

let go of auto - use up button to get to number 2 and then press cold and hot buttons to get plus or minus values

might be wrong tho

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
