today i changed the adjustment on the steering wheel for the height. then when i went to drive it at night i realised that my dashboard lights aren't coming on :) so i cant see sh!t (revs, speed, boost, petrol, etc...) the dash lights that say hand break is on and HIACS etc... they still work, just not the ones that light it up so i can see it...

any idea what has happend? (i thought i may have knocked a plug out or something?

How do i fix it?

If its a fuse, where is it? i cant read japanese :)

also if the speed limiter switch is accessable during the process where is it? :) i just have to take it out right?

Thanks Everyone!!!!!

Also another thing is that when the imoboliser turns on it stops my turbo timer, its obviously the wiring? any ideas?

Thanks!

A5H,

More than likely lost connection with the dimmer switch...

When they comply Skylines, they have to install a dimmer switch.. They probably ran the wire under the steering columb and when you ajusted the columb it pulled the wire out..

You should also find your rear lights aren't working either..

Fist things first, check your fuse's (just check both boxes - under bonnet and under dash).

If all fine then you will need to take the entire front souround off (around your dash and sterio). There should be a post on this forum on how to take it off (not too dificult). Then re-wire it..don't forget to disconnect the battery.

Cheers

The speed limiter is controlled by the ecu, you can buy a device that tricks the ecu that the car is doing less than 180km/h.

Sounds like your immobilizer is not turbo compatible. When i bought my alarm i ensured the alarm was compatible with a turbo timer. Basicly the immobilizer does not activate until the timer finishes, but the alarm is active.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
