R34 Gtr - Mystery Light Indicator?

[dark-knight]

Hi all,

Just trying to identify an indicator light on my 34 GTR. It's down to the left of the steering wheel and has Japanese markings along with 1000km and 5000km printed on each indicator. Whilst driving the left '1000km' light illuminates orange however the right '5000km' remains unlit.

My thoughts are it has something to do with the run-in servicing of the vehicle?

Here's some photos:

no-one?

looks like a showerhead, have a shower every 1000km and every 5000km?????

maybe its a service light? saying do a service every 1000km and 5000km???

unless you can get someone to translate the little japanese looking symbol underneath.

hmmmm anyone know Japanese??

[tiberis]

from what i gathered, those characters are 点 and 検 (hopefully they display properly on your screen...)

but either way, they translate into "point" and "search" respectively... but when combined they mean:

1. inspection

2. checking

3. examination

so it may well be just a reminder for servicing/ checking/ maintenance on the vehicle.

as for one staying on, is there a reset button for it? i noticed a little set of holes near the LEDs, maybe you poke it and it resets?

either way... those crazy japs...

Thanks for the reply tiberis, from what you've translated that does make sense. I'll try poking the hole *that's what he said* tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks again for your help!

Just chase the wires and rip it out

The wires run into the back of the tacho and there is a black box that sits under the dash that connects to it , to reset the lights insert a paper clip into both holes while the acc are on then turn to reds , flash 3 times and it will reset , I have one and have played with it all day lol
