This is a great arrangement of resistor onto the housings! And if you want to go back to lilliput, you havent damaged

the housings in any way...

Btw, you can use 5mm leds even in the smaller T3 enclosures...the reason they dont drop down enough is because

there is a ridge/lip on the LED...if you can get access to a lathe, you can machine down the led bases (just shy of

the junction) to a single diameter to suit. They press in nicely into the T3 housings and sit a mm shorter than the

original lilliput bulbs!

Ive attached a shot of the modified 5mm LED and an unmodified one. My climate control looks awesome with

a white background!

The LED look like the Neo Wedge LEDs and you can buy them on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2pcs-T3-T4-T5-Neo-W...=item2ead1eb9f4

Depend which what size.

At the time of writing, there was really nothing available as a drop-in replacement.

That being said, the LED's in the auction look to be ideal... they have a flat top for better dispersement of light.

The last and largest of those three (12mm) looks identical to the stock holders that you pull out.

FYI to everyone else: my A/C LED's are still working perfectly! =-D

just did the original method of this, except with a 40000k white LED, same resistor though 120OHM, worked a treat :) only it looks a little yellower than i was hoping, doesnt really match the LEDs in my cluster :/

I dont know much about these resistors etc but is there some sort of LED on ebay that does not require that resistor?? really want to just have something that goes straight in without playing with resistors etc as i dont kno anything about them could someone help me out with either a link for the globes or another alternative eliminating these resistors

Cheers

From the description here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-Neo-Wedge-LED-Bulbs-T3-T4-T5-White-Blue-Red-Green-/110460423099?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19b7f44bbb#ht_5174wt_689 I would say no, they are a drop in replacement ready to go.

I can see a weekend of blown globe replacement and tacho fixing soon :)

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
