Mystery Switch

[Phatboy]

Hi guys, this has been bugging me for a while.

Any idea what the switch does or what the red light is? The switch is located down and right from the steering wheel, underneath the driver's side air-con vent.

Thanks guys.

try it and see?

maybe it's a simpsons style switch for 'MERRY CHRISTMAS 1984' on your roof?

Could be anything really.

I would assume the red light is for your alarm when you arm it it blinks to tell you its on...

The siliver flick switch, Im guessing a RWD/AWD or 4WD switch..? Could be some activation switch for flog lights...

Can you pull down the compartment lid that its stored in and trace the wires and connections..?

Lol I tried it and it doesn't actually seem to do much when the car is stationary. Not really game enough to fiddle with it during driving, in case it kills power or locks the steering or something bizarre.

Lol flog lights. The compartment lid is for the moneybox... can't see wires in it. I checked and you're right about the red light.

It would be awesome if I had a 2WD/AWD switch there without knowing it.... Wax On, Wax Off, Drift On, Drift Off.

Doh! FOG lights I mean. LOL!

Maybe switch on the car and let it idle, then flick the silver switch and see if any lights pop up in the dash / cluster were your speedo and tachos are... Also hear out for any noises when the swtich is flicked...

Or take it hard around a corner then pull over, let it idle for a minute or 2, then flick the switch and take it hard around the same corner to see if it makes any difference...

My friend Tim GTR on SAU has a R33 GTR with a flick swtich and its for the 2WD/AWD switch and when you activate it, there is a a quick "Humming" or a very low tone "Beep" "Beep" noise.

But thats just his car.

Maybe it's like the switch for the "Go-Baby-Go" button, like from Gone in 60 Seconds..

No sounds or icons light up when idling and flicking back on forth with the switch. I might try the cornering thing when it's raining, just to make sure

So I guess the other R34 GTR owners don't have this switch? Maybe it's just a dummy switch installed for looks lol.

Could be a "Cheat" switch LOL!

Friend imported a R32 GTR and had this switch and when you flick it, it activates the brake lights, so when ppl are street or circut racing you and see you brake light flickering, they slow down, but you still keep going LMAO!

Wow, that is such a dastardly evil invention! Would be great for those tailgating douchebags as well. I checked though - unfortunately it's not.

Factory immobiliser on/off ?

Factory immobiliser on/off ?

Hmmm... could be, I suppose. Not sure how I would test it out though. I just want it to be on at all times!

[SKYL1N]

i had a mystery switch. was live wires leading to nothing. i hooked neons up to it

[Jack-]

My immobilisers in the same spot as your gtr in my 34 with the same red light, most likely something to do with that?

[R31Nismoid]

I wouldnt think it would be to turn off the immobiliser/disable... that would be a bit pointless having it in full view

It wont be a 4WD/RWD switch, you cant run a 34 in RWD without taking out the drive shaft (or you'll kill the transfer case)...

Stick your beaver under one or other side of the car and see if you can see something... cause im thinking neons too

[W0rp3D]

I would say neons or maybe spotlights that were removed before being exported or removed for compliance.
