Just wanted to start a thread for those cool/random little things about our cars.

for example some ones i know of are...

headlight adjustment tools are hidden under covers behind seats
holding the lock and unlock buttons will toggle horn chirp (i cant get it to work)
wheels are directional
if you slowly pull the high-beam lever back you can turn on only one light


add yours!!!

Speaking of cool little things... any idea what's with that pump/actuator/vaccuum looking device that's behind the passenger seat hidden under the false panel?

actually, the Diablo has the same headlights as the Z. Lambo puts a small strip of carbon fiber on the top of the headlight to cover up the Nissan stamp.

The intake filter is in a secret compartment!

I like this thread! Never heard anything about that chirp.

We're sort of used to it and don't think of it, but everyone else seems to think it's amazing: Yes, all of the controls except the radio that are right by the driver's hand are in fact stock.

Our windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the hatch on 1990-1993 models if I'm not mistaken.

The TTs have HICAS. Sure, we all know it and most of us don't like it, but it's certainly neat and unique to our cars.

Actually, the Q45 had it too. Skyline as well. It still is pretty unique though.

This "chirp" thing makes no sense to me as we don't have lock and unlock buttons?

"keyless entry" is a phrase I have never associated with my car, nor will I likely ever.

Well, I didn't mean 100% unique :P.

Attention someone who knows: For the slicktop models, did it stay in the rear? If so, that's a very interesting fact. I noticed his is a slicktop.

For you washer fluid? You sure? It may have been relocated.

My 90 TT reservoir is in the engine bay, near the left headlights to be exact.
