Hi,

I've been scowering the internet looking for the location of the reverse light switch on my R33 GTS-T (RB25DET). The lights don't always come on so I suspect the switch is faulty but I don't have a clue where to find it/get to it...

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

Its on the side of the gearbox about half way along, drivers side at the same level as the filler plug. Has two wires going into it

It works on continuity so just check it with a DMM. They are often difficult to unscrew for removal so CRC it heavily.

Thanks a million for the reply :whistling:

How exactly do I get to it, do I jack it up or go through the engine bay? Sorry for the noob question but I've never gone near a gearbox before

you have to jack the car up - make sure the car is SECURE on AXLE STANDS before getting under it. never ever ever trust your life to a jack.

drivers side, halfway along the box, right at the top is where it is on the R33. There is a neutral switch and a reversing switch. The reversing switch is the one that's harder to get to, of course :P

You can get in there with a ring spanner if you disassemble the plug (pull your new reversing switch's plug apart so you can see how to do it). I was lucky enough to be able to do mine with the gearbox in place, others have had to loosen the gearbox crossmember or drop the gearbox and push it over to one side.

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
