I have a 91 sr20det 180sx. and i can’t figure out what this switch is. If i push it to power a red light comes on but i notice no difference, if i push it to E-AT a green light comes on but i still notice nothing. I just leave it in the middle, but i’m curious as to what its for? could it stand for Electronic Automatic Transmission? but what does it do? any help? thanks Derek ---

i think it controls your shift points for power or economy. but im not entirely sure either. ---

yeah thats what it does. if you have it on power it will downshift more aggressively when you hard throttle, and shift at higher RPM but u should still swap to manual 🙂 fairly cheap too! ---

Speaking of that! what kind of work goes into a auto-manual swap? The 240sx i just picked up is auto and that is NO fun lol. ---

^^ your SR probably used to be auto. if you PM me your VIN# i can verify that in Nissan Fast. parts that you need for an auto to manual swap are: -5 speed transmission -5 speed transmission crossmember -5 speed Drive Shaft (apparently ABS and non ABS are different driveshafts) -Flywheel -Clutch and pressure plate -Clutch Master Cylinder -Clutch Slave Cylinder -Clutch Pedal -Brake Pedal -Clutch hard line (unless you FEEL like fabricating hydrolic lines) -Shift boot -rubber shift boot and metal circle bracket (used to hold the rubber boot to the trans tunnel) ---

on your car it wont do anything, because more than likely they did an auto to manual swap before you got it
