boys and girls, does anyone know what type of bulbs and how many are there on the back of a r33 dash? i want to replace the original ones with led bulbs.

unfortunately it's a bit of a journey to find out myself as you have to take the dash out to have a look...

does anyone have a dash to just quickly check or knows what the bulbs are?? your input is highly appreciated.

ps. if anyone has or can get some photos of the bulbs that would be awesome! thanks.

The R32 bulbs (and generally used for car instrument panels) are 12V 3W bulbs. I have just replaced mine with 12V 5W bulbs for a little extra light.

Without intending to be rude, please try a search for things like 'LED' 'dash' and so on. There have been quite a few threads in the last few weeks with people (self included) replacing incandescent lights with LEDs.

As far as your dash goes, I agree with R33S2 - the LEDs are unlikely to work. Apparently if you cut the top of (ie. flatten the head) they will diffuse light more like a bulb but I can't confirm until Friday.

Cheers.

same as the lights in your parkers, and side indicators on the R33...

can get them at autobarn and all those stores...they're the wedge style globes....they should know at the store which 1's you need, but just tell them its exactly the same as parker globes...

we used 5 in my R33 S2 cluster, and they come in packs of 2 so you need 3 packs...

monza (sold at autobarn) make a triple led with 3 little LEDs on the top rather than 1 big 1...i used that just to spread the light better....as mentioned above, it wont look like a factory dash because LEDs dont spread the light as well, but mine still looks good

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
