Been working on the Dayz for a while but have not been anywhere near the stop lights. Both the upper and lower. All of a sudden they come `on as soon as I connect the battery.( I dont have a spare battery so jump the RS4) the stop lights come on. All switches are off and releasing the hand/foot brake does SFA.

Any ideas please?

Stop light switch under the brake pedal stuck. It may have moved or simply stuck in the on position. Try to move it by hand - make sure it is not contacting the pedal (if it is it needs adjusting). If its not it may just be stuck down. Last resort try unplugging it.

Clearly a while since I stuck my head under the dash! Switch is on your side of the brake pedal lever so would need to be out of adjustment to be stuck on. Still plug to disconnect (if necessary) is reasonably accessible (or better still get a young fellow to do it)!

You are right. Need a midget to get under. I think 75 is a bit too long in the tooth to do all this.

most probably the rubber stopper for the switch has perished. this has happened a few times lately with the s1's i know of (probably the QLD heat and age of the rubber). easy replacement as they are off the shelf from nissan. i can check it out for u if u want Hugh.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.

      This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags.

      Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.

      Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!

      The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
