My cigarette lighter adaptor is broken. (not the actual lighter itself) but the bit where it plugs things into it.

I have tried using the car charger (for mobile phone) and also the the ciggy lighter... all doesn't work

i have a feeling that i might of blown a fuse or something..

i have opened up the fuse panel underneath the steering wheel panel and there seems to be alot of fuses, and the diagram for the fuses are all written in japanese.

any ideas?

thanks

I have noticed this with mine a while back.. as yet haven't bothered to fix it.

I am thinking that when I installed my deck and ran new wires, I broke the circuit to it. Maybe the deck and the cig lighter get power from the same loom?

can someone confirm or deny this?

good luck with it

Actually, i noticed that my ciggy lighter was broken too after the i installed the deck last week as well.

When i installed it, i heard some noises like beep beep (same sound as to where the keys are in the ignition and the doors are open). And i thought to myself... (oh..shit...). I didn't think too much of it after i got the deck working.

It was only yesterday i noticed that my ciggy lighter is broken.

(BTW, i have a R33)

i would really appreciate a translated fuse diagram if there is one. As i think the most likely cause would be a fuse....

Stick a torch in the fuse box and check for broken fuses.

or (If its abit hard) what I do is take out each fuse one by one and see which one is broken remembering where they go back.

Fuse diagram is also nice i think Ive seen one around somewhere. Do a search? :

Test each fuse in there... if you have a multimeter. It should only take 5 minutes.

Otherwise, the ciggy lighter gets power and earth from the same loom as the HU. It runs through a loom tube through the front of the facia, then under the gear-surround and into the socket. Might want to check that for power, as it could just be the contacts in the socket are too bent.

My ciggy lighter gets warm, but not hot enough to like my smoke when i've lost my lighter (annoying!). So I figure that it's a contact issue for my car at least.

R34 lighter stays inside the socket until it gets VERY HOT and pops out... I'm always afraid I might miss the hole and burn something when putting it back.

I had a non working lighter socket before, turned out being a disconnected wire (they used some sort of clip which came loose).

Yeah, all the lighters i've ever used work like that. My R33 however, doesn't stay in. I thought it might be a safety thing that you have to hold it in, but then it could get too hot or something. Might have to sus this out sometime.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
