Hey guys new to skylines but not new to nissans (datsuns) picked up a 2001 V35 300GT sedan today just have a couple of questions.

What is this button? its under the steering wheel?

What does this mean? is it a service reminder?

there is RCA cords coming out of a side trim in the boot.. on the RHS up the top.

it comes out as RCA then is converted from RCA to a 3.5mm jack. Any ideas?

Also where can i get replacements for these gas struts?

And fuel door bumpers? mine are no good.

Also from the drivers seat is the door lock button on the arm rest meant to lock every door except your own?

My key unlocks the car but wont lock it? maybe i just need a new battery for it.

ALSO what spec batteries are people using in their skylines? the one in it is no good.

Sorry for all the questions hope they can be answered cheers.

button under the steering wheel is to turn on/off the auto 'tilt down' feature of the side mirrors when selecting reverse.

ETC is Electronic Toll Card reader, which is for Japan's toll roads, useless in Aust. No idea what the message is though.

Not sure what the audio cable in the boot is for..

If your lucky, the struts may be a standard size, which means you might be able to get replacements from supercheap/autobarn/etc. Cant' say for sure though, I haven't looked for them before.

Can't help with the fuel door bumpers, they are probably a standard shape item, so maybe see if there is something aftermarket, or for another model Nissan vehicle.

Not sure on the lock button, probably doesn't lock the drivers door. Haven't tested it on my V35, but that is how my old J30 Maxima worked..

You could have a faulty remote if it isn't locking the doors.

I think the Century NS60LS is the correct battery - or an equivalent in other brand.

Message will be hat the ETC card isn't inserted into the reader, for obvious reasons.

Jack will just be for audio equipment into the aux system. That ay you should be able to plug a iPhone in and play musics.

There are strut regas services or buy new.

The fuel flap rubbers actually have a part number. Search the stages thread, it's in there somewhere. Or use epc data.

Yes, I've replaced remote batteries, you should do the same

Biggest batty you can fit in the right configuration is the answer!

I would recommend any decent AGM (Absorption Glass Mat) battery as the last thing you need is a bad leaking battery given where the battery is located in these vehicles. It's not the friendliest arrangement.

For that reason, I have an Optima yellow top 35 in mine. If you go for that one, make sure you get the cap/cover that it should be supplied with as that clips on the base of the battery to give it the extra height you'll need to ensure the clamp actually does hold the battery down tight.

Couple more questions..

This is a bit intermittent, sometime everything works fine but sometimes the radio will reset and it will happen every few seconds, radio resets, air con light flash. if i turn the car to acc the air con lights will flash and i cant use the radio.

When this is happening if the radio is on and i try and use the controls on the steering wheel the radio turns off and turns back on..

Im thinking an earthing problem.. just wondering where the earthing points are and if theres a special earth for the radio that i should check.

Any info will be appreciated!

heres some pics of the car, very happy with it (apart from the small dramas)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
