HELP!!! WTF is this light? - Calling all sherlock holmes wannabee's! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hello,

Can anybody explain to me what the ceiling cluster/light/angled slots cluster is about? I have been racking my brains trying to work out just WTF this thing is. All I can work out is that it is some kind of projector onto the lower central part of the windscreen... but nothing is projected and I can only see it when the windscreen is misted up at night.

I looked on the net for "weird projector thing on skyline ceiling" but didn't find anything. I also checked the instruction book, but I don't know the Japanese is for "strange light that doesn't do anything". There weren't any pictures of it though.

What is it? How do I use it? Driving me crazy!

Thanks!

Tim

BTW its a '95 R33 GTR

I'll post pics if you want. This isn't a standard item then?

I have the two lights in the front and the courtesy light in the back and between them is this big cluster, runs about half meter from the front seats down to the back seats.

The cluster has slots in it at an angle so that you can't easy see in, except if you put your head up against it. Inside I can see what looks like a mirror and prisms with a red light and a green light. Kinda difficult to explain, so I'll get some pics up in the morning.

The light shines towards the windscreen, but cannot be seen from outside unless you get down low and look over the bonnet. It seems to be wanting to project onto the windscreen, lower middle.

Strange.

aaarrrghhh, the suspense hurts, go get pics now!

hyrev · 24th April 2007, 11:47 PM

does it have anything to do with this?

lonewolf · 25th April 2007, 07:29 AM

^LOL!

Sorry to keep you in suspense! Here are the pics.

The control area with on/off switch and brightness dial has NISSAN embossed onto it which makes me think its a standard/option part.

Running the length of the interior pretty much:

Looking down the slots:

In the dark, this area of windscreen seems to be the target:

Anybody else got one of these? Anybdoy know what it is?

Cheers!

I have no idea what that is but it looks kinda freaky enough for everyone to want one

I'll wait for the people in the know to tell us what it is

ISJ · 25th April 2007, 07:46 AM

Ok that is freaking me out now! What the hell is it?

After you first posts i thought it was one of the optional extra de-humidifiers but i don't think it is now.

Perhaps this is one off the "Nissan Battlestar Galactica" Options list

chris_s · 25th April 2007, 09:19 AM

is it not to stop headlight glair ??

i know that truck drivers sometimes fit a red light behind them shining out the window it somehow stops glar from oncoming lights

Mookistar · 25th April 2007, 12:05 PM

DCD · 25th April 2007, 01:04 PM

MarkMcQ · 25th April 2007, 01:31 PM
